About Me

By the way, I don't know this band I using for their layout, any good? Anyway, when you do professional photography, you take shots of everyone but yourself :)I really did come on here to meet new people, friends, and maybe more, (it seems like alot of person like to collect friends on here my baseball cards, and then forget about them), not me:). First off, a website is finally being worked on for me. It's a threefold deal, my professional writing, art direction, art design, and professional photography, so if you'd like to read, or see anything, I will send it to you.I must also say, webcam women, or porno women don't write me, I'm not into that, so don't bother. No offence, but save it for someone else. Also, I do drink, but rarely, and when I do, am I funny!Also, people that do drugs, sorry, not interested. -------------------------------------------------------- Honesty is everything to me, it's always the best way to be, without honesty, you have nothing. So, with that, I'm a professional writer, art designer, art director and do professional photography (mostly for live bands, also promo shots, bands again, and portraits on the side. Not like family portraits, though that's cool, but that's too easy for me. I like to do portraits that say something, that have a story to tell. I'll send you some pics, just ask. I went to college for, and deeply studied film directing, video and art in general. I found it to be mostly boring, the longest 20 years of my life, just kidding :) but I'm sure I did learn something. --------------------------------------------------------- As far as relationships go, trust, honesty and mutual respect are very important to me... without that, what's it all worth? I'll tell you what it's worth nothing! I don't play head games with people, no one deserves that shit, and I'm not out to hurt anyone.Anyway, I'm a clown, I'm a funny person by nature, I really love to make people laugh, if I could make you laugh, I'm happy, and I always try to make the very best out of bad situations. I'm a stupid romantic at heart, I will admit that, and in some ways, very traditional though I don't really look it. Meaning, well, people stop me all the time believing I'm in a band, I work with them, but I'm not. I do play the guitar, but believe me, if you heard me, you don't want me in a band :) Anyway, I tell them I'm a writer, and artist, and they always say "I knew it, you look like an artist." I guess that's a good thing, I'm only being myself. Alot of people say that I'm a true gentleman, which I think is a good thing, I hope it is, I'm not going to change that, about myself, it's too much apart of who I am.I'm not a boring person, and as you've read, I love to express myself in many ways in art. Aboutwhat I like, I have too many loves and interests to list, so just ask.Again, I'm overly honest,and have nothing to hide, so again, ask me anything you would like to. Ilove kids and all animals, and I have three cats, Willow, Johnny, and Joey. I rescued all of them,and they are my babies :) Hmmmmmmm what else?So why me? I'm one cool guy! And I'm a nice guy, so come on, come find out, life is too short, and you and I have nothing to lose :) music layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com love / music / movies

Music:

Music means so much to me. The Sisters of Mercy, (special thanks to my friend Sue Wave for turning me onto them many, many years ago. Thanks, you rule Sue! Even I don't tell you as much as I should, thanks for everything:) The Sisters have inspired my work in so many ways. Here that, Andrew! You made the grade. Anyway, back to music, I love all kinds of music, music is very important to me like I said. But as you'll see, I'll go from one exstreme to another, meaning, I'll listen to The Damned, Lue Reed, AC/DC then The Ramones, The Doors, to The Damned again, to Elton John to the Rolling Stones, to some Sex Pistols, to U2's Bad.

Again, too many, Lost in Space, X-files, Buffy, Angel, CSI, Everyone Loves Raymond, My name is Earl, oh, just ask.Great line, where is this from and who said it, and he, in the show, is dead, "Listen up! Love isn't brains, children, it's inside, it's inside your blood, your heart and your soul, and it burns, and it screams and does what it will. I may be loves bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it."

Books:

Alot, but not enough, when you're a writer, it's hard to read other people's stuff, you're pretty much burnt-out on your own stuff
