Randy

A true enigma wrapped in a riddle nestled in a poppy seed bun of mysterious grooves

About Me

I design cool stuff and I'm obsessed with beautiful things. I'm convinced I'm an ex-resident of a Twilight Zone episode from where I managed to escape somehow. I am also an erzatz bedouin, cat lover, a fan of Dumas and know a lot of crazy shit that you don't. And, I am the retarded offspring of 5 monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel. Yep. I easily entertain myself with objectivism, a lot of structuralism, a tad of deconstruction, lots of pop and op, a bit of the Nabis and the Fauves, some Die Brucke and Blaue Reiter, hearty portions of neoplasticism and a whole bunch of useless, albeit aesthetically and ideologically appealing crap. Yeah, folks. Crap. But it makes me smile, so, whatever.

My Interests

Still re-defining those. I do like, though, to shoot space pigs from my roof on moonless nights. If this is a hobby you enjoy, do get in touch :)

I'd like to meet:

Intelligent, passionate people ( apparently an endangered species). How about this? : I'd rather live in a cave by the sea with a few cats, some plants, a surfing squirrel and a parrot. For a living I'll harvest coconuts and sell their bark and their juicy, nutritious pulp. I'll grow some sugarcane so I can make lotsa rum and breed goats on the side for hides, meat and cash....(sigh) one can only wish...anyway, I do like people with a decent amount of passion, intelligence, individuality and general useless knowledge. Ya get the pic. I am NOT interested in meeting people that spell "your" instead of "you're" (no, it is NOT the same), clones, friend collectors, Brit-nae look-alikes, reggaeton bootie shakers, sports junkies, people who watch tv at bars, mimes (NO MIMES), Abercrombie and Fitch poster kids, people that set their profiles to "private", extreme right-wingers, neo-hippies, or copy-cat fashion scenester-hipsters with great hair and empty hearts. In summary, as Kerouac rightly expressed it: "the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn,burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" I am on AIM and Yahoo as rrodz2828.
