About Me

"Hi I'm James, I'm sad to be here!" (my personal lamentation on the fact that I can't seem to give up Myspace, lol)Extroverted photographer who loathes "pretty things" and loves to laugh at those who do. I like video games and I'm not ashamed of it, I was once in a movie with Dustin Hoffman and Will Ferrell and one day I will be an art director and special effects supervisor for independent films. I have little tolerance for the superficial (although I'm a bit hipocritical here...) and ignorant, and a deep undying love of thinkers, independents, those truly cultured, and shy boys with cute glasses. I make friends easily and retain them for years, but sometimes I'm bad at keeping in touch. I like to go out and have a crazy messy time one day, and the next get dressed up and have a classy evening. I'm fiercely protective of those I love, and will fight for them. There's a lot I don't understand, and a lot I do. I generally listen to 3+ hours of music a day, it's an important part of my life and if I can't I get a little down. If you're interesting you should write me, because chances are I'd like to talk to you.I'm 5'8", 23, tanned year round, dark hair, dark eyes, slim but toning up. I've finished my BFA in Photography/Film and Electronic Media at UIC. I work at the university I graduated from as a supervisor in the main library, yes, a little nerdy. I also do some freelance work for a gallery downtown and sell art, and through that hopefully become part owner of an artists resource at some point in Chicago. Other than that, I'm a sexy librarian by day, ghetto dancer by night. I'm fun. ^_^ Find me on AIM at PsappKatJemuzu, because this Myspace messenger blows goats and I won't use it.Oh yeah, and I have a portfolio website. go figure. Ask me about it... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

My Interests

Artist/activist
Homosexual Extraordinaire
Sadistic Pastry Addict
Unfortunate by-product of the Hipster Movement.

I'd like to meet:

I get along with most anyone so I'm looking for friends or maybe something more. Walking on the beach in the middle of the night is good, romance and love is good. Hot sex is VERY good. Finding someone you can really connect with is amazing. Talk to me, you'll see I care, about... stuff.As for specific people i want to meet, hrm... I suppose I'd like to meet Shirley Manson (and the rest of Garbage), Bjork, Emma Delves-Broughton (a British fetish photographer), Master Shake, Karen Walker, and Dark Phoenix (I'm very optimistic on the last three there... lol). Oh and the "Kill" Zamboni man from Clare's profile, he's my estranged father that craves bar-B-que and only speaks various intonations of the word "kill" for language. He's rad.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

You can listen to my playlist and check out the lyrics to my song O' the week below.

Psapp
Tiger, My Friend

The Counter

Siphon off top layers
Leave an etching in the dirt
Tracing passed the history
To date back to the hurt

Fingers leave a trail on me
A map of what I've done
Each hair that grows precisely
Shows a timeline, and my sum

And you don't know the weight
The clicking of the counter
I won't show you the weight
And its worth

Walk into a new room
And your static lingers still
Trace of grease from un-socked feet
Is mine to smudge at will

Fingers leave a trail on me
A map of what I've done
Each hair that grows precisely
Shows a timeline, and my sum

And you don't know the weight
The clicking of the counter
I won't show you the weight
And its worth

Movies:

Too Many to list, but I'll give you a run around of some favs. Children of Men, Crouching Tiger Hidden Draggon, Eat Drink Man Woman, Raise the Red Lanterns, Hero, 2046, Kill Bill Vol1&2, Shall we Dance?(Original Japanese version, not the crappy American star-studded remake), All About Eve, Bringing up Baby, Amelie, Sin City, Waking Life, Dancer in the Dark, Blue Velvet, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the LOTR Trilogy (in glorious extended-ness), Trainspotting, The Ghost in the Shell: Innocence (i like the original as well), Spirited Away, Pi, March of the Penguins, and the list goes on...

Television:

Don't really do TV, I suppose I like Lost, Six Feet Under, Adult Swim, the requisite Simpsons and the Family Guy(randomness is definitely a plus), and my uber-gay show of shows, the Golden Girls.

Books:

The Tokaido Road by Lucia St Clair-Robson; Farenheit 451; Brave New World; New Jack; 100 Poems of the Japanese; Blue Estuaries; I know Why the Caged Bird Sings; anything by Ted Conover; The Worst Case Scenario Handbook for Dating(you have to know how to escape out the bathroom window). Love the language of Jane Austen, specifically Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. W.H. Auden, Simone Muench. Oh, and David Sedaris is a genius.

Heroes:

Shirley Manson, Dark Phoenix, Luis Madeira Figo, Frank Lloyd Wright, Malalai Joya, Emma Delves-Broughton, Tokihiro Sato, David Lachapelle, Santiago Calatrava, Max Cannon, Uncle Salad Fingers, and of course Cinderella and the Mummy (did you see that film they did together? I'm telling you it was moving) oh, and see this:
