Within my creative insanity - lies the craklin' bran of humanity

About Me

It all breaks down to some pretty basic stuff. Respect. Honesty. Integrity. People are people ... not machines ... handle with care.I could say more, but it would pale in comparison. I suppose, if you're REALLY inclined to hear more, you can extract it (but you'll need to feed me first). I try to maintain a balanced blend of Humor, Wit and Sarcasm (gotta keep you're edge).My life has always revolved around art and music. That will continue until I shed my mortal coil. A typical day involves a lot of digital design, huge doses of Photoshop, playing my guitars, bass and keyboard, and writing inpromptu lyrics that often times suck. Changed bands after the first of the year (still playing bass) ... onward and upward. Side collab projects: working on composing/producing audio tracks for film and gaming apps.I'm also addicted to taking REALLY bad picture with my phone. I have found that if you hold it at the right angles and screw around with the settings enough you can distort yourself and your loved ones into grotesque alien beings. When I take these photos they are often followed by threats ... which is why you wont see any of those images posted on my page. (but I do have plans for launching a website ... keep a lookout for www.grotesquealienbeings.com ... coming soon :c)

My Interests

Like I said ... it's all about art and music. I could never choose one over the other so I ended up majoring in Commercial Art/Illustration and Music Theory/Compostion.In addition to the above, I always find time to be a sarcastic smartass, which occasionally gets me in trouble, but makes life interesting.

I'd like to meet:

I have this recurring dream ... I'm playing Texas Holdem with the Dalai Lama, Fred Durst, Helen Keller and Igor Stravinski ... we're nursing Irish Mist from Cognac glasses made of white Play-Doh on doilys. It continues from there, but my profile would be deleted if I delved into the details... (alliteration rocks)

Television:

I love the Alias series. My problem is that I discovered it at the end of the second season. So I watched the first season, and then started watching the second season while season 3 was already in motion. I hate coming in the middle of things, so I am perpetually damned to buy each season after it's over and then devour it.Of course, love King of the Hill and Family Guy too.Shows that NEVER should have been cancelled: Kids in the Hall, Max Headroom

Books:

"The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran (most of his writings are phenomenal)."The Essential Rumi" (Rumi's writings translated by Coleman Barks).C.S. Lewis' stuff is good"The Craft and Business of Songwriting" -John Braheny (GREAT book, if you write) I've made it my bible...for the time being.Any of the Rant books by Dennis Miller.Anything by Al Franken. I love his dry, sardonic wit.And recent addition Charles Bukowski.

Heroes:

Ghandi, Buddah, and anyone who sacrifices their time and abilities to help another person.
