I'm not the man, I just look like him.

About Me

What is there to know really? I am your everyday average joe. I just use myspace to keep in touch with friends! So If you are my friend already, you know all you need to know! =)

My Interests

I love all kinds of art, on skin or canvas. I like cycling and swimming. Martial arts. Golf. Shooting pool. Movies.

I'd like to meet:

Nobody in particular. =P

Music:

I've seen AC/DC 5 times! 80's music. Heavy metal. New Orleans music like The Radiators or Rebirth Brass Band. Old school Like Frank Sinatra. Some 70's music.

Movies:

I used to work in a video store. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of movies. Movie lines, who was in it, who directed it, trivia. If I had this ability in learning languages or mathematics or something useful, I might be rich by now!

Television:

I like the discovery channel, mythbusters may be my favorite show.

Books:

The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell, wow this stuff will blow your mind! Everything by Stephen Hunter. Artist biographies, martial arts books, tattoo magazines.

Heroes:

My Dad, he never took shit from anyone a day in his life and I respect him for it. My sensei Jim Mora, he took me under his wing. Lisa Scheer, my college professor who taught me how to use my brain as well as my talent. Cap Szumiski, one of the most amazing and gifted tatooists it has ever been my privelage to meet.
