maybe it seems that people aren't even listening, but they are. so you keep beating the drum.

About Me


i was born the same year and month that the paradise garage opened. ive been dj-ing for 8 years but i dont flaunt it nor do i have a clever dj name. i work as a freelance multimedia developer currently on longterm contract with a company in hillsboro. i have a healthy obsession with music (everything from experimental to country to gangsta rap) but i hate going to shows. i used to be a music snob but now i dont care - id rather just talk about music or art and exchange mixtapes. i also run a website: msalcido.com which is basically my portfolio of work. i love technology, video games and coming up with bizarre explanations to the purpose of life. stupid movies are a hobby of mine as well as sci-fi television shows (mostly stargate, the highlander tv series and the new battlestar series). i think everyone needs to own an expensive pair of headphones.
please dont send me messages asking for help with flash. thats what this is for.

I'd like to meet:

Naked hermaphrodite dwarves serving cocaine from trays strapped to their heads, transsexual strippers, naked dancers in bamboo cages, nude models wrestling in baths filled with raw liver and Samoan women smoking cigarettes with their genitals.
