About Me

i work for a little record label / production company in a very small office with people who i like very much. there are pigeons everywhere and i'm the only one who likes them. i also cook well. i can make a mean bouillabaisse. my first concert was bon jovi (slippery when wet tour) and it was a turning point in my young 8-year-old life. i never got into nkotb because i was too obsessed with hair bands and nwa. for real... and 2 live crew. i know, it's hard to believe that i was into 2 live crew and nwa at under 10 years of age but it's the truth, but then i rebounded into a phase where i listened to nothing but simon and garfunkel. i am a rock, yo. during that same period (ages 9-11) i was obsessed with claude monet. i wound up finding the beatles at a late age of 11 because my mum force-fed me elton john up until that point. she used to make me wear big glasses. so at that point i stole all of my mum's old records and i became obsessed with the beatles, the rolling stones, cream and the animals and then later pink floyd. since then everything has been all about music and art and although i can read music, i play everything terribly and that's why i stuck to art.
