THE STORY

-In general, I'm just another artist, I mean illustrator, shlub who likes to hang out and joke around with friends. I say illustrator because I don't really have the artist personality. I Don't really drink too often, though when I do it's whiskey, tequila or rum, neat. And whoever started with the cold tequila thing, STOP! If the tequila has to be frozen in order for people to drink it, it's crap. Save your $5 for the shot, go to OSCO and get their OSCO brand tequila for $10 in the plastic gallon jug and knock yourself out. Now, if you're ready to enter flavor country, you cannot go wrong with the 4 horseman pictured below. Drink 'em slow, warm and neat. If I see you mix these with fruity crap, I will fight you like a deranged hamster. Save the mixers for dumpster drippings like Bacardi or Jose'. From left to right: Pyrat Rum cannot be beaten by other rums 5 times it's price. Jameson 12 year has only one rival, Jameson 18 year. Cabo Wabo Reposado beats out Petron and is smoother than a new paint job. Cazadores Reposado is THE definition of Mexican sipping Tequila. Good taste, very warm burn, but not like that Jose' Caca which goes down like a box of 10 penny nails.
I like to draw, and do so when I have the time, which I wish I had more of. See my KOSTR alias for that stuff should you care to. It's either pinup or scary stuff, all broads, um, I mean chix...Almost had a politically incorrect moment there.
I LOVE to waste time with pointless drivel. If you do too, go to my HUFF VON BURTON profile below. And be sure to add me. Huff needs friends! Created initially for my coworkers who nicknamed me "Huffer" due to the wild (and TOTALLY illegal and/or useless) instant marketing ideas I come up with at my job (not to mention the BEEZ-R-O stupidity I shower upon them daily,) I decided to create a profile based on this "not so alternate universe me."
I still love to ride BMX bikes. Never grew out of it. Some say they are kids bikes, but you try shelling out $1000 for your son or daughter's bike and then tell me that. (This offer is not open to those making over $250,000 a year or their immediate relatives.) Of the various styles of riding, I like flatland the most (see the video in the "my interests" section for what that is if you don't happen to know.) My skill level is, "rusty" as I have not had time to ride in some time and now that I've moved to Chicago, I don't know WHERE a good place to ride is. My ride is a We the People, Pony with parts from both EBAY and Flatland Fuel. (Those guys are great and I'll only buy new stuff from them.) Aside from that, if you're a flatty and are in the Chicago area, add me, if I don't add you first.
