About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I love Music, playing and jamming with friends, going to concerts, just about everything to do with it. I listen to a wide variety of music, from Miles Davis to Hendrix, Phish and Damien Marley, anything that has real spirit to it. I am an oil painter, I want to capture the characters who have been living around the local haunts. I do portraits of people that I find interesting. I think that both the music and visual arts are the two hands of storytelling, and I love to put something together that resonates with the people who see it. It's all about surrounding yourself with cool people and good energy, and lifting the spirits. I don't like judgemental people, the close-minded idiots or the egotistical. I love everyone who believes in themselves, and loves to co-create with nature. I'm respectful of my friends, and love to see people who can challenge opinions without challenging each other. I want the best for those around me, and feel that we have to be responsible for the vibes we put out, because we influence our worlds like a teabag changes the water around it. So be what you want to see around you. I also have a page at friendster: http://www.friendster.com/profiles/beachdrummer

My Interests

Photography and the study of light, drums and the study of beat, music and the study of pitch, Those are the three great interests that motivate me the most. The way that people interact with these three is very interesting to me. I like to move around and see things from many points of view, and the people that I love are those who are another trusted pair of eyes on the world. I love to hear new music, new languages, and question those who never question themselves. Mostly, I love hanging out with enlightened, happy (most of the time) people, who can relate kindly to each other. I love to do longboarding (skate) and walking around the awesome nature trails that exist off the beaten path.

Movies:

The American Film Institute list top 100 list is pretty close to what I would list, but I also love the rough independent scene, like Shortbus, the quirky foreign films that are ignored by the major market. I love Aname , Miasaki, especially, and Samuri Jack, I love Kevin Smith, especially "An evening with"

Television:

I don't watch much TV other than LOST. I love the tight writing and character development. Somehow an Island Purgatory where everyone must figure out how to survive is mysteriously appealing.
