About Me

Thinking is Delicious. I Experience Daily Epiphanies. All Is Math. I Believe in Colors. Music Feels Good. Texture is Important. I Need More Pockets. I Understand Green Peppers. I Never Choose Choices. My Goal this month is to Re-arrange the Alphabet and Place the M and the N before HIJK. The G should go before the E. XYZ are perfect where they are.

My Interests

making movies, music, photography (www.cbaez.com) , and the perfect sandwich. going to shows and supporting the local scene. Film theory. Essays. drawing, painting, poetry, technology. I like everything. I like in general. I like to like. I have 2 unfinished comic books I need to publish; it's my goal this year. Ninjas have a special place in my heart.
