About Me

MySpace Layouts - <?=$l_title?> myspace layoutsI am on hand To herald in the day, And to announce its exit. I thrive by clockwork and precision. In my unending quest for perfection All things will be restored to their rightful place. I am the exacting taskmaster. The ever-watchful administrator. I seek perfect order in my world. I represent unfailing dedication.I am the Rooster.Things about me I'm a Taurus born in the Chinese year of the Rooster. I am a soft spoken, mellowed with age. Sparks do fly on rarer occasions, but that's mainly because of my inability to control my road rage. I know it is totally pathetic. Tri-coastal, East, South, West. I love, love, love. Musik!!! even more than sex,...and I really like sex,...really, really, really! Yes, music( mostly that horrid electronica crap,... like Mira Calix.( Sorry Mira but that what some of my friends think ) Sam Prekop,...( My friends and I are the drunk obnoxious ones in the back ), Boards of Canada, Broadcast, Dvorak, Marin Marais, to name a few. I married my German Frau at very young 21, but still searching for my soul-mate,... I hope it's a woman as I'm not gay,...But if my soul-mate is a guy,...So What. People have always assumed I'm gay,... even as a kid!!!( No thanks to Mom's Jeri-Curl obsession, and gay-ass printed polyester disco button-ups ),...In my younger days, My family lived primarily in the south. I was a chubby, nerdy, latch-key kid. I spent a lot of time watching T.V., I guess my generation was the first to have cable tv. I remember racing home after school to watch MTV debut. It seemed like a big deal, I may have cut school for it. I also cut school to go to a radio station to collect my prize for winning one of those lucky caller give aways, a bunch of albums. In the latter half of my youth my family moved to California. My life change the year. I had to grow up quick. Cuz my new digs were in Compton. There I witnessed my first gang banger drive-by on the way home from school. Lucky for me the jobs were on the other side of L.A. Life in West Hollywood was where I became a real California kid. I became part of the local hood rats. Most of the hood rats were skaters or BMXer. We switched it up. We hung out in parks, near convinence stores, the video arcades, the malls, skate shops, surf shops,...some of the kids were rich to me. I was new wave preppy at that point in time,...pretty much like my friends. The uniform at that time was Vans, Ray-Bans, Hang 10, and Hobie. I listened to The Flock of Seagulls, Blondie, E.L.O. The Talking Heads, Kissing The Pink, Duran Duran, Thomas Dolby, Kate Bush, Genesis The Cure, Oingo Boingo, Depeche Mode. Radio, was really cool in L.A.,... at that time. As was life,...Then my family moved from West Hollywood to West Oakland. Ouch!!!That was a tough change. Althought, musically I still had good choices,.. Two Awesome college stations,...No, wait,..Three. Kusf, Kalx,Kpoo,and only one commercial station, The Quake. Other than music, I had very little else. I moved to an all black neighborhood,..that was kinda dangerous. Kids here were different,..they were uneasy they didn't do much outside of sports. The library became my best friend. Later I attempted to become a model, and ran into a stream of perverts. I totally wasn't diggin' that shit I gave up.(I cried a little when I saw Fame for the first time, cuz I know what it's like.) During my later teen years my parents got divorced,...they split the kids. I had to go with military dad( So I never went home after school ),I stated hanging out near the Berkeley Campus in cafes, and then I became punk/goth/death rocker, The Cure/The Jesus & Mary Chain/Killing Joke/Skinny Puppy meets Oingo Boingo,...Think Black and Khakis( Hey it's California!!! ) Dad kicked me out the day after I graduated. Went to Art School,...became a Jean Cocteau fanatic wanna-bee, I had my first real relationship,... totally blew it. Most importantly I became a Mod/Rudeboy, so I love vintage clothing and Ska. (My favorite piece is a Andre Gilles( Lacoste ) vintage Le Blu Team France Track Jacket. Ska?...Trojan Records, baby yeah! The 80's was so rad, but i was piss poor. I became a club-hopper, then a soldier ( Drunk man-whore ), Green Day hater( I last saw them bummin' change near Berkeley Bart Station...Now is a different story. ( Sigh ) I'm a Art School dropout, worse than a college dropout. ( My parents never considered art school as a "real school" ) So at a tender young age I was in debt all on my own.( Sigh ) Soon after getting fired from the Academy of Art for lack of cash. I embarked on a vagabond trek to British Columbia with a graffiti artist. Canada, is the best place in the world for a homeless street kid. After a fairly nice visit to B.C. I headed to L.A., the worst place for homeless street kids!I join the military to get a job and crap,...It was the 80's and I could go to Europe. The military life and me were ok,...to a point. I stayed in trouble. I went A.W.O.L. three or four times. During my escapes I went took the Bahn to Koln, bike to the Alsace region of France, and later Denmark, and Sweden. ( Cuz the military would never look there for me. ) I started to get tired of playing in frozen mud of the Army bases of Europa,...it was time to see other things and peopleI groom dogs, whether that's good or bad,... I don't know yet. I'm good at trade,. but still piss poor I don't fish or hunt, but I do with shame eat meat, sorry righteous vegans babes, I have yet to elevate that game.Had my only daughter kidnapped by her mother. It kinda made me cynical I guess? I love Japanese, Cajun, Korean, Thai, ( yes, they all include rice...Hmmh! ) Love cheeseburgers, bacon, cheddar cheese(Stilton/Huntsman) So I love food, wine, and beer. Yeah, that stuff makes you fat, hey life seems better with them thangs. That is of course your doctor tells you, your obesity has caused you to have pre-diabetes. Now its avocados, nuts, and exotic salads, a lot of boiled chicken sans salt. Things I sucks at; chess, basketball, golf, smiling, spelling( way too much partying, not enough reading!, being evil, failing, conveying ideas without proving a point.( You should of listened to me, tsk tsk. ) politics( I rather vote for people with my ideals than a media poll watcher. ) I was a social butterfly, but was more drawn towards the outsiders ie; farty arties(art students),punks, new wave, mods, surfers, and preppies and of course skaters!!!
