I got soul, but I'm not a soilder...

About Me

It's been quite some time since I actually updated this: So here's the 2008 model:
Smart Assed, Vindictive, Opinionated, a Downright Asshole (Not Really) - It comes with being a Photography student, you know? I used to attend Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California but got bored with it and I have a good time with the punks I live with, you know?
I've worked a lot of odd jobs, from some interning at a Driving School to a full fledged Gallery Curator (you know they make a lot of money?) and now Professional Photographer... It's really a lot of work. I also play the Guitar and Viola, can fly Single Engined Airplanes, do odd web design jobs (everything from a teen product sold in teen vogue to a local scientologist church, and can make a Lemon Peppered Chicken that will make you want to marry me.
I'm not as rabidly liberal as I once was (ahhh youth) but I'm still pretty hardcore in my progressive beliefs so really, don't bother trying to dissuade me... I used to enjoy debating a lot but it seems as though there are so many things and you all know when you stop getting joy from "the little things" you become a bitter person. Oh well.
If you'd like to annoy/discredit/debate/whatever me IM me at PhotosForFood, chances are I'm not there, but if you're a futilist feel free to try
I own a Porsche 944 Turbo and love it, even though it's kind of beaten up right now.
Dick? Yes. Looks can be deceiving :)

If anybody has any interesting reads they'd like to share with me, go ahead, I'm always looking for new things.

Heroes:

Be your own hero... and Dean Stockwell... I mean, come ON, he was AL for christs sake.
