I am philanthropic, philosophical, and metaphysical.
My Self-Summary
I am an artist (comics, music, et al). I didn't mean to acquire so
many artist stereotypes along the way (creative facial hair, fatal
curiosity,
soul power),
but life makes more sense now than ever before, so I won't fight
it.
I want to mate with San Francisco, this foxy town has shown me the
best years of my life. The good thing is that I am young and more
in control of things than the previous years of my life, so things
are only poised to get better. True, everyone says this, but I am
not everyone.
Yes, things really seem to be clicking and progressing these days.
Life is turning out to be a motherfucker. But not just any
motherfucker. The best motherfucker a motherfucker can be.
What I’m doing with my life
Continuing the frequently-ugly transformation from productive
member of society to artist. I work a job I disassociate myself
with to pay the bills and to stay tangentially connected to
people.
My bread & butter, however, is my art. It's been the way I've
understood reality since I was a tiny child. It defines my
days.
At night I am alive. Or asleep. Rarely neither. Frequently both.
I’m really good at
many things, but I'm average at many more things. I'm very bad at
the majority of things, but to be fair I haven't tried very much
yet. It's a gigantic world out there, contrary to phrases that
assert it's a small world.
I don't want to toot my own horn, I'll have to mark this box "no
solution."
The first things people usually notice about me
People always seem to think I'm shorter than I am in real life, but
this is only because I'm incredibly tall and handsome in real life.
I actually doctor down my photos to make me homelier than in
reality, so as not to have people think I doctored my photos to
make myself appear handsome.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Authors: Dave Eggers, Hunter S. Thompson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Kurt
Vonnegut, Richard Dawkins, Murakami, etc plus (I read like a
gangster). I also find the subjects of
linguistics and
etymology mega-interesting.
Music:
Stevie
Wonder,
Neutral Milk Hotel,
Ween,
Spacemen 3,
Bob Dylan,
New Order,
Animal Collective, Allman
Brothers Band,
Frank Zappa, and anything with soul
in it, in any capacity.
Movies:
Charlie Kaufman, Wes Anderson,
Coen Brothers, Quentin Tarantino, Guy Maddin, cheesy awful stuff, .
Also, that documentary about the two guys who play Donkey Kong was
fantastic. I'm pretty big on documentaries in general these days,
actually. Jeez, how staid. I probably already bear a striking
resemblance to my 60-year-old self.
Food: Mexican food, probably. It's realistically one of the only
connections I have to my roots & culture. Luckily it's also
fantastic. Thai also. Everything else also also.
The six things I could never do without
These extra simple questions are the hardest ones to answer. I will
say, though, if I didn't have music I'd throw myself into traffic.
On a typical Friday night I am
Unaware it's Friday night.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I shot a man in Reno with insulin, just to watch him live.
You should message me if
it compels you, I guess. I'm probably better than the other dudes
on this site, that's for certain. Sure they may have more money,
but money can't satisfy you sexually or emotionally. We can break
bread over a pipe and soak up the town and its many crunk
interiors.
