About Me


Myspace Editor
Pimp MySpace
A member of the Chronic Sub-Rich. A Cultural Anthropologist by training , but an Art Gallery Director by trade. Founded perhaps , Detroit's most well-known art gallery , retired ,then unretired - now i'm just tired. Have visited all the continents but Antarctica , Divorced, ( from a Homecoming Queen runner-up - ..Number 2 doesn't always try harder) No kids that i've heard about. Went to University Of Southern Cal Film school (briefly...ran out of ducats) but ended up at Eastern Michigan University . Lived in La-La Land during most of the 80's. Have worked on TV, radio and and as a journalist. Have tendency to hook pretty young women up with millionaire friends ( batting about .300 in that department) as a reward or as punishment for not liking me. My weight is still slightly higher than my IQ (though i'm hoping to lose weight). Love Art , Literature and Film. A quick Google search of me will provide both lies as well as insight into my own personal brand of mental indifference. I wear a size 13 shoe and can't ever find gloves that fit...baseball gloves not withstanding , shave my head and was once named one of Detroit's Worst Dressed , by Orbit Magazine ( in great company with, Aretha , Terrible Ted Nugent and Jerry Vile) Am wise beyond my years and as immature as your little brother. Also an expert massuese with magic fingers (where applicable) and can do an amazing impression of Michael McDonald (singing) and Christopher Walken (not dancing).
