About Me

looks can be deceiving, but what ya see is always part of what ya get...right? at least it'd like to seem that way....i usually say what i think that i mean...if i need a nudge i usually just lean into it....whatever the fuck that means...i dunno...but, i seem to be a pretty nice guy... stricken with much lower self-esteem than it may seem at any given moment... that may not be a real turn-on, but i'm sittin' on an epic saga over here...... so, who else wants some? plus i love to say words like: wherewithall & ne'erdowell, nonetheless & heresay, & happenstance, & congruence, ferver, whatchamacallit & onomatopeia & whatnot & so on & so forth...ya know...... stuff like that.......

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

making my music, listening to other people's music...well some of it...taking photographs... i'm also interested in life, health, spiritual wealth, imagery, inspiration, altered states, excuses, expressions, impressions, false-impressions..... most of all, i'm just plain fascinated by the stuff inbetween everything... plus more!!! oh yeah....no more chemically altered states for me, folks.....just so ya know....see side panel for more details....... oh yeah..... SEX ......sex is good too..... we like that kinda stuff..........

I'd like to meet:

whores, bores, liars & backstabbers........really though.......mostly folks who live life as though they know it is an over-joyed improvisation.....as opposed to that old familiar, cookie-cutter approach to livin' that's managed to keep creepin' in & gaining so much popularity with the kids these days...i'd also like to meet idiots, skeptics, halfbreeds, loan sharks, old souls, youngbloods, burnouts, duds, flubbers, overweight lovers & vampire killers.... it'd be nice to find a girl that makes & appreciates art who would tell me she'd have my baby even if she really wouldn't..........& possibly someone to read me bedtime stories from time to time ???can ya diggit??? i pretty much figured you could..............

Music:

i really love tom waits...& fela kuti...& john coltrane...& tons of other jazz shit... also ambient soundscapy shit, the blues, rock &/or roll, ritmos latinos , african shit, asian-indian shit, reggae, r&b, musica de cuba y brasil, funky shit, new-wave, no-wave, electro shit, folksy shit, experimental shit, & electronic shit, getting more into classical shit, i can get into some country & bluegrass & sometimes even that obnoxious ranchero shit. anything with some real, raw soul... but, i really fuckin' hate that smooth-jazz shit.... it's really evil... don't give into it, ya'll.... seriously.... so what do you like, huh?..

Movies:

i like a lot of stuff... i hate lame hollywood/hallmark crap... foreign films are good, even when they suck... i loved Down By Law, Punch Drunk Love, Buffalo '66, Adaptation, Short Cuts, the Outsiders, Donnie Darko, American Beauty, Triplets of Belleville, Watership Down, Waking Life, Amelie, Girl on the Bridge, Happiness, ghost dog, i (whatever) huckabees....d'you ever see the Cruise? check it out if yer into philosophy & manhattan & stuff...what else....Delicatessan...pretty much anything by Jean-Pierre Jeunet or Jim Jarmusch.....oh....& 2046....i really, really love that one....& oldboy....electric shadows... I finally sat down & watched the godfather....i liked it too..........

Television:

not a whole lot....the good shit is obvious.... it sticks out like a turd in a punchbowl.... PBS, Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Dobie Gillis, Ali-G, women's underwear commercials, whatever happened to Bonzai? i loved that fuckin' show!!!

Books:

the tao, bukowski, nietzsche.... i'm really not much of a reader, as sad as that is to say...i'm more prone to write than i am to read... i also talk a lot..... i have a stack of books that i "intend" to read...they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions....

Heroes:

my mama, yer mama, john coltrane, jimi hendrix, bruce lee, eric dolphy, tom waits, rahsaan roland kirk, friedrich nietzsche, grace jones, arto lindsay, miles davis, frank zappa, sly stone, david bowie, fela kuti, morgan freeman, bob ross, william s. burroughs, that vietnamese monk that set himself on fire in protest of war way back when...james baldwin, charles bukowski, david icke, timothy "speed" levitch, bill laswell, ryuichi sakamoto, iggy pop, lou reed, marvin gaye, paul mccartney, no, all the beatles...even ringo...many more, like zsa zsa gabor.....the old dirty bastard...yadda yadda yadda.... list's too long to continue... oh yeah, me, m'friends.......you....who else wants some........? no one really reads this shit anyway, huh....?
