be there, or be []
I don't add just anyone to my friends list anymore. If you want to add me, send me a message as to why. If you don't, I'll know you have not read this! ;)

I also have videos up here on myspace
Marvel at my Photoshop wizardy.
I'm pretty sure I was a short brilliant Englishman in a past life.
I'm a Photographer, and yes I do make my living taking photos. I consider myself very lucky to be doing what I love for a living.

The basics:
Cameras, photos, lights, computers, food, hot drinks, brown liquors, cheezy synthesizers, new carpet smell, in depth video games, music with strings, making people laugh, traveling anywhere I've never been before, trying new things, discovering that I hate or love new things, kitty cat kisses, immature humour, spelling with U's, really tall or really short people, people who laugh at their own jokes, asymmetrical faces, stupid human tricks, brain freeze, catch phrases, purple.
Dislike:
tv jingles, apathy, pessimism, bigots, liars, greed, misuse of power, days turning into years, being hot (as in heat 0_0), the telephone, children screaming, people not living up to their potential.
If you're anywhere near uptight, you probably won't like me very much. I am rarely serious, and always have a big grin on my face :)

Year of the Horse
Exciting and extroverted, vivid and animated, the Horse is the life of any party he attends. He is bursting with energy, always looking for the next place to kick up his heels and hang loose. He entertains friends and strangers alike with his humor and appeal.

My Interests

reading, pretending I'm a rockstar, bowling, karaoke, booze, friends, travel, photography, vegan food, dancing, career, Prince Night, toys, video games, singing, my cats, walking other people's dogs.

I'd like to meet:

Somebody with whom to dance

Yes, Arturo, I stole your idea.

Fun people for dancing, mayhem, silliness, liveband karaoke, other wackiness. It's hard to come by quality star personalities. IMPORTANT: Be prepared to have pictures taken of you at your worst/best moments.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.
