About Me



My Interests

most things post modern

I'd like to meet:


Music:

music: synth pop: depeche mode. morrissey. new order. oingo boingo. the pet shop boys. siouxsie and the banshees. adam and the ants. instrumental surf music modern. classic rock. (20th century) classical music: claude debussy. maurice ravel. hetor villa lobos. igor stravinsky. john cage. phillip glass. laurie anderson. i love gene krupa and anita o’ day from the big band era. traditional musics of japan. malaysia. mexico. peru. brazil and other south american countries. im starting to like 60's: the beatles. the who. the rolling stones. the kinks. things like that. anything with a thought out recording.

Movies:

film: almost all horror even the "b" stuff. i feel it is the most creative and innovative genre of film. i belive it is a strong social reflection of sexuality and technology. i 'heart' dario argento and the whole jiallo scene. obviously i have to mention "suspiria." my all time favorate horror film.all time fave movie of all genres is otto preminger’s laura (1944) staring gene tierney, dana andrews, and vincent price.

Television:

my favorite shows were: let's bowl, trigger happy tv, and craft corner death match! sadly none of them air anymore. i like hell's kitchen and project runway anything with creativity and drama.

Books:

the great gatsby "well, it's a fine book, and everybody ought to read it.” bret ellis’s american psycho is one f’d up gory book. i really wish i read more it, makes me to sleepy.

Heroes:

anyone who has performed true charitable acts with complete selflessness.
