from st. louis, MO, moved to California a few years ago. lived in Huntington Beach, Long Beach and now Hollywood.

I enjoy videotaping hobos eating the sandwiches that I give them and interviewing characters at random, getting down'n'dirty with the insane inhabitants of los angeles, capturing the bizarre and horrific on film, up close and personal with the real stuff.

I am a fan of the following: cheese, hobos,flagellation, Terrain/environmental variances of the earth, adhering to no particular ideals or styles, doing what I please, finding humor in anything, having a positive outlook at all times, nature, the future, City Museum (st. louis)

work a few days out of the week, audition for shit, get really drunk at ye coach 'n' horses about twice a week, band practice once a week, teachin' myself the blues harp, half-assedly teaching myself saxaphone(of which I was suggested to just get a new one because it's in such poor shape and is barely operable), and I dream a lot

putting my foot in my mouth, being a lightweight, entertaining myself, being independent, laughing

my small frame..... and I've been told by strangers that my face is "perfectly symmetrical".....however, my pupils have always varied in diameter, so that observation is not even 100% accurate.

FOOD: I'll try anything, baby. I really enjoy Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant (WI), Chuck-A-Burger (st. louis), and that Lee's Sandwiches chain. I liked escargot 18 years ago, crocodile in Nawlins 15 years ago, kangaroo pizza and octopus salad in Sydney last year, I like sushi and Mao's kitchen, most asian cuisine, shit they eat in india and pakistan, the restaurants I've hit in Little Ethiopia are good and that one back home, Red Sea was good, Saleem's the Persian (I think) place back home, that steamed garlic appetizer was awesome, frozen yogurt, when I lived with this Latvian man and his Ukrainian wife in huntington beach, they made me a myriad of ethnic shit for new year's, it was all good but i don't remember the names of any of it, caviar, Real Food Daily on La Cienega is pretty damn good, Canter's on fairfax, Swingers on beverly, everyone likes italian food, ummm gimme somethin weird to eat, please. but I doubt I'd be able to put bugs in my mouth, that may be my only weak spot...?

I'll drink any booze, but most often I'll be found at a bar sipping on gin and tonic. beer: cheap-PBR not- pyramid hef. shot- bacardi 151 (so now you know how to incapacitate me)
also, if you deposit tabs of acid or marijuana edibles into my hand, I will promptly ingest. anything hallucinogenic for that matter!

I do not enjoy the act of smoking, therefore have never been addicted to cigarettes, and have had no enjoyable experiences of smoking marijuana. I am not interested in the inhalation of cocaine, either. it was just alright. furthermore, crack/speed/meth/"H" are not on the to-do list, either. I still have mixed feelings on pills, but now I'm getting into the insignificantsss of my life. does this talk even belong in the "food" section?

TELEVISION: I don't watch television (because I believe it to be full of talentless garbage), but some shows I have either caught over the past few years OR have watched on DVD that I actually did enjoy include: Penn & Teller, Dirty Jobs, Red Green Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, WonderShowzen, the DAMN! Show, Tim and Eric, Lost, News Radio, Family Guy, the Office, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

BOOKS: Where The Wild Things Are, Jumanji, Tuesdays With Morrie, There's A Nightmare In My Closet, A handful of Goosebumps books, Whiskers & Rhymes, Ride A Purple Pelican, Heckedy Peg, You Are Worthless, Brain Droppings, Napalm & Sillyputty, Please Kill Me.......obviously, I haven't gotten serious about book reading yet.

I'm not ready for this

not only my future, but mankind's future and the future of this planet and the existence of the universe. I think a lot about tasty food as well.

eh, they are never typical

disregard the header, I've got something else to say.

I am not instantly dazzled by girls who have accumulated a barrage of tattoos or hip/daring/"creative" piercings. I'm not against these things ( I got 2 reasonably sized tattoos and a small ring in one nostril and one ear) , but I am so sick of chicks around here struttin' around with the attitude that they should automatically be granted with a fuckin' award of beauty or appraisal for going under the needle/gun. I find many of the newer facial piercings obnoxious, the tattoos of the masses too recycled or gaudy, and both body modification features more than often lead into utterly boring conversation, which end with me basically unwillingly bearing witness to a soliloquy of self-reverence.

oh, and the whole I-have-tattoos-and-piercings-so-I'm-blatantly-good-at-sex-and-am-into-fetish-and-TANTRIC(yeah, I used that word)-play-in-the-bedroom theme is a buncha bullshit, I've learned. Continue with your facade, missy! ain't no different than what you find twitchin' next to the tackle boxes at the end of the santa monica pier.

you might wanna message me if you are at all interested in dominatrix, passive/aggressive,sado/masochism, role playing....
Not required, but definitely open to any of the above. whatever, it's your call.

I'm not a fan of the folks who take their underground or "alternative" lifestyles or movements to the extreme. I'm not a fan of politicians or much to do with politricks in general, neither am I a fan of the folks who obsess over such issues. I do commend those who study these subjects in order to achieve a level of education in order to pursue a career goal, truly desired and thoroughly enjoyed by the individual. it's the folks that sit around on the patios, smokin cigars, bickering that "their" candidate is better and badder, and acting as if they personally know these jokers who they seem to be investing all of their faith into- them's are the ones that annoy the shit outta me. I totally condone the study of history, and law and politics are a big part of any civilization's history. Learning about the past is always cool and interesting. speculating and guesstimatin' about the future is the silly part. just like those who qualify themselves as members of an organized religion. then you got the folks who do everything they can to disestablish and defy the politricks and systems brought forth. those fiery little sOpHoMoRoNiC shitheads who think they're really gonna make a difference and go down in the Anarchists' Underground Railroad Trailblazin' Annuls of History. so we'll call that AURTAH and you got yourself a new little ancronym. yeah, this brand of folk is scary because there is a vast number of them who are well into adulthood and still livin in a teenage angst's dreamland. only place you're gonna get yourself is in the government's prisons for a very long time, living a failed and insignificant life. and for the ones that don't have the guts....or stupidity to take it that far, I guess, will at least become a senior hero for the next decade, preachin' in the sewer squat to the NEXT generations of retards who will never make any sort of difference in society and forever succumb to the Revolutionary Cult of Decay of the Youth of Yesteryear. that's RCODYOY. I'm not apathetic towards everything, mind you. possibly nothing else, ever! the quest to define the meaning of creation and the after death experience, maybe so, but these are the things that I find to be more interesting to ponder over, as their significance seems much higher in the grand scheme. why? these are phases that have and will affect every single one of us on this planet, in any given situation, but at the same time not one of us knows, at present, how or why these two things happen or have happened. I love all of that. there is no human deception or trickery going on here, just this phenomenon we label "nature". and not one of us motherfuckers can explain it! there are endless possibilities and ideas provided, but who knows which, if any, are accurate! what a pleasing concept for me! i love such confusion! I feel, when it comes to pressing issues such as political ideas, social predicaments, and religious debates, that I am moreso a member of an audience kickin' back in my lawn chair and watching all this fuss from afar, outside the bubble. I don't side with any of them goofballs, throwin' out "answers" at random.... but it sure does serve for one hell of an entertainment hour. if you correlated any of this rambling to george carlin, then you should message me. if you happen to agree with it and find yourself thinkin' along the same lines, then just got ahead and message me also, why don't ya. I mean, it would kinda make sense.
