About Me

Thanks to Jena Garcia and Marisa Silver for some of the amazing photography. Sorry, Im too lazy to write photo credits for each photograph.I make a date for golf, and you can bet your life it rains. I try to give a party, and the guy upstairs complains. I guess I'll go through life, just catching colds and missing trains. Everything happens to me.I never miss a thing. I've had the measles and the mumps. And every time I play an ace, my partner always trumps. I guess I'm just a fool, who never looks before he jumps. Everything happens to me.At first, my heart thought you could break this jinx for me. That love would turn the trick to end despair. But now I just can't fool this head that thinks for me. I've mortgaged all my castles in the air.I've telegraphed and phoned and sent an air mail special too. Your answer was goodbye and there was even postage due. I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you. Everything happens to me.-Chet Baker.. aim= juanfona or theebrand

My Interests

film, music, and rum.

I'd like to meet:

I'll tell you who I don't want to meet: sports fans, republicans, pick up truck drivers with small wee-wee's, people who like raggaeton, girls who've undergone plastic surgery, people who only talk about their dead end job, people who think "indie" is a genre, people who are too cool for school (mainly emo and goths), and people who feel the need to proove something. If you don't fall under that category, I'll probably wanna meet you.

Music:

Umm, let’s see, I just decided to update this. I’m sure I’m missing a ton of good stuff but I’ll just type some recent favorites and all time favorites in no particular order:The Brand, Humbert, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Beach Boys, Roy Orbison, David Bowie, Tears for Fears, The Thermals, Cake, Cat Stevens, Buddy Holly, The Hives, The Ventures, Duran Duran, Fountains of Wayne, The Beatles, Iggy Pop, The Breeders, Marvin Gaye, Frank Sinatra, The Who, The Clash, Sloan, Snow Pony, Bob Dylan, The Pogues, Nina Simone, PJ Harvey, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Louise Armstrong, Sex Pistols, The Wannadies, Belle and Sebastian, Of Montreal, Stone Roses, Portishead, The Kinks, Cat Stevens, The Cars, Carl Parkins, Buddy Holly, Elvis (king), Michael Jackson, Spoon, The Doors, Velvet Underground, Queen, Stan Getz, Nirvana, Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Smiths, The Ramones, That Dog, Charlie Parker, Pixies, Flaming Lips, Motzart, a little of the ol’ Ludwig Van, The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Led Zeppelin, um…I should stop right there for now.Don’t matter if it’s “indie,” top40, English, or in Japanese; If it’s good, it’s good.

Movies:

Juan Oña's viddy reel



Here is the edit of edits. All the work I've been a part of edited to a good score.enjoyHere are some directors I love: Stanley Kubrick, John Waters, The Cohen Brothers, Wes Anderson, David Lynch, Woody Allen, Tim Burton and many others.

Television:

I have cable again!!! all the the Law and Orders, 6 Feet Under, Mythbusters, Modern Marvels, Building the Ultimate, The New Detectives, you get the point. I stopped watching MTV when it was no longer "music television" and turned into crappy teenage drama crap.

Books:

I hardly ever read books. I do like to read instructions and "how to's." Oh, I also like to read scripts to movies i really like.

Heroes:

my family, the beastie boys, stanley kubrick, and that little guy in mind that tells me to do things.
