If B.S. were music, I'd be the philharmonic.

About Me

.. Well. Myspace and I have a love/hate relationship, but Im still on here. I like to think of myself as being 'hip' and 'with it'... just like many American youth of today. Yes, I like meeting new people. But sometimes I fall off the planet and forget to reply to stuff in my mailbox...
Im highly sarcastic, and always laughing. I adore pasta. I like making lists. I've been primarily single for about 2.5 years. I like karaoke and salsa, not always in that order.
I quote movies too much, but I dont talk during them. Im really fucking funny when I drink.
Beautiful women inspire my art. Good music can make me cry. I can perform the heimlich maneuver. My heritage is half English/German and half Spanish/Irish/Indian. But I mainly look german. My friends are my family, and I love them dearly.
My Art is my passion. Which covers a lot of things. Im scattered in my interests and have many incomplete projects.
Some of my photography can be seen here:
My somewhat outdated graphic portfolio is available here:

My Interests

pasta, metalsmithing, photography/portraiture, painting, woodwork, car repair, biking, swimming, riding, mmorpgs, writing, foreign film, illustration, web design, fashion design & tailoring, midgets, interior design, industrial design, zombies, sculpture, SuperMario Brothers 3, SCA (...its like a ren faire, only with a uHaul), being sarcastic, hanging out with friends, suchforth, etc. etc...

I'd like to meet:

New people to annoy and fascinate.

Music:

Everything hence, but not limited to: Federico Aubele, Pixies. Modest Mouse. Beatles. Decemberists. Elliot Smith. Arrogant Worms. Coco Rosie. Ugly Cassanova. Corvus Corax. White Stripes. Bad Brains. Dead Milkmen. Blind Melon. Paul Simon. Al Green. Barry White. Bobby Darren. Aretha Franklin. Tracy Chapman. Paul Oakenfold. Good Techno. A Tribe Called Quest. Mono. Beat Nuts... Habib Koite, Africando Allstars... World beats and great dance music... especially salsa.... ahhhhh...

Movies:

Amelie. Citizen Kane. Everything is Illuminated. The man who wasnt there. Coffee & Cigarettes. 28 days later. Shawn of the Dead. Super Hero movies... like Spiderman and Xmen. Heist movies... like Paper Moon, and The Sting. Revenge themes. Foreign Film. Jan Svankmeyer stuff... Dark films. The epic battles of immortal creatures. It varies.

Television:

Family Guy. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Futurama. Invader Zim. Older Simpsons. British comedies - - Rowan Atkinson in Black Adder is a GOD. a GOD I say! Monty Python. Upstairs downstairs. I loved Firefly. My friends have convinced me that Im supposed to be into BSG, but I don't think I have time for a new addiction yet.I like Anime. Key the Metal Idol is still one of my favorite 'crack' type series. I love Lain, Witch Hunter Robin, and all sorts of things though.TV has a way of sucking up your life if you let it, so I try not to fall into that trap.

Books:

Currently reading: "American Gods" By Neil GaimanRecently finished: "Stiff: The Curious lives of Human Cadavers" By Mary Roach.Favorite Genres: Mythology: Greek & Norse, Sci Fi, Historical & Historical fiction, fantasy - - horror. Classics. All that.

Heroes:

I never know what to say here. I guess it would be Alphonse Mucha. A number of metalsmiths would most likely be in here too, but those names would most likely not mean much to you all.
