Hey, you've done the right thing coming here. Good work.

According to Douglas Adams in the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," the way to learn how to fly is to throw yourself at the ground and miss. This is accomplished by thinking about something other than falling while you are falling, which proves to usually be quite difficult, due to falling's immediate relationship with impending face-breakage. If, while falling, you happen to wonder, for example, "How come Jack from Lost maintained a consistent level of facial scruff from episode to episode, but managed to grow a huge fake beard once he got back to civilization, and why didn't they show him shopping in a beard store? Its just not believable," you will succeed in missing the ground completely, and thus, flight. I'm attempting to implement this idea as an entire life philosophy. I'm convinced it actually works.

I moved back to SF a year and 1/2 ago, after Snake Pliskin cleared the path for my escape from the old-testament-like wrath of ten years in NYC. Been digging on all the nature, trees, hills, open skies, and being able to see some of the stars at night. I live in the mission, and sometimes I like to pretend I'm living in a quaint hamlet. Cause, y'know, I like the word hamlet. Hamlet meaning "tiny piece of ham."

I think we all know by now that love is the answer to pretty much every problem and forgiveness is the way to bring parts of ourselves we've been holding at a distance back into the fold, so to speak. I think we are also ready to admit that everyone on the news is lying, and the world is run by lizard people. But we're not worried about it, cause they are lame and we are AWESOME! yeah!
We rock.

Everyday's a mystery. But in the meantime...

I act.
I've had a string of successes as a film and theater actor since I moved here. I just had the lead in a short film about a moody animator who falls in love with a flower girl (shot with real film!). I've just started performing in live improvised murder mysteries (for real money!). I also regularly get gigs where I dress up as a giant superhero light bulb and teach kids about renewable resources. I do this purely as public service and to be worshiped by 4th graders. And also for money.

I rock.
Last month I was in NYC recording a 5 song e.p. with my old power pop band - I sing, write lyrics and play drums. Last year I released a 12 song album under the name Agents of Venus -- that record is a mish mosh of psychedelic rock, programmed beats, pop tunes, cynical/spiritually obtuse poetics and styles that haven't quite been categorized yet. You'd dig it -- you can find it on the itunes. I sang and wrote lyrics for that record. I think the next step is to put together some kind of new band in SF, but I promise I won't use this as an excuse to grow a gigantic mustache. I might just try to record a hip hop album instead. I'll talk it over with my muse and see what she says....

I art.
I'm also a lifelong illustrator and painter-- I painted lots of murals in NYC (this was usually a precursor to the buildings I painted on being destroyed, no lie) and I'd eventually like to do a few here. I tend towards psychedelic and comic book style illustration, but I'm willing to work in other styles for the right number of sheckles. To be honest, I haven't done a ton of illustration since I moved here, since the acting thing seemed to be catching fire for me. I'd like to write and draw some really freakin' far out comics eventually, and I intend to do some cartoon voice over work, if only to keep my fourth grader cred current.

Maybe you want to take a look at my website? Is that cool to suggest on the OKCupid? You'd probably learn more about me there than reading my dumb profile: TheseAreDreams.com
Its loaded with films, pics, music, art, lyrics, you name it. Go on, check it out, I'll be here when you get back....

Kissing you. I can draw my ass off. I can act my ass off, and if I'm in the zone I can improvise like a mutha. My musician friends tell me I'm their favorite lyricist. I'm really good at writing vocal harmonies. Pretty good drummah. I have a lot of patience and I work at understanding other people's points of view. I am an idea fountain. I can make a room full of people laugh. I'm really good at following synchronicities and intuition. Sometimes my dreams come true, and most of the time they are super epic. I knows how to gets down, meaning I can cut a rug,y'dig? Every once in a while I'll play a game of basketball where I just can't miss. I read clouds. Little kids seem to really grok me. I can love you sweetly, deeply, completely. Ladies tell me I generate a lot of body heat at night. I will put in the work to make you smile.

I was once told I have an unusually large soul.

I'm going to be very specific with this category, please bear with me:

Clouds: lenticular clouds are cool.

Movies: Pulp Fiction (first saw it in Prague before it came out in the states, the film shut down right around when Travolta is about to stab Uma with the adrenaline needle, everyone in the theater just freaked out! It was great), The Big Lebowski (Coens rule), Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Anchorman, The Hangover, The Matrix (I actually like the whole trilogy, forgive me), Time Bandits (and the Fisher King, 12 Monkeys, most Gilliam is soooooo baroque), most David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Mullholland Drive, Wild At Heart, and especially that moment in Lost Highway where Bill Pullman transforms into the younger guy in jail, I think its the moment Lynch abandoned traditional narrative and completely embraced the unknown), the Empire Strikes Back, 2001, Fight Club (but I won't talk about fight club), Terrance Malik's The New World, Akira, most Oliver Stone films, most Speilberg -- most recently I thoroughly dug the Fountain and Scott Pilgrim Vs the World. I love sci fi, comic book movies, animation/anime, fantasy, documentaries, anything with a well realized reality, a good script and a skewed perspective. I actually really enjoy watching all the behind the scenes/making of stuff that comes with movies these days. Movies make me cry.

Books: Uh, I read lots of comics, to be honest. They say comics are the original form of storytelling (along with actual storytelling, I guess) and that you use both sides of your brain when reading them. I'm down with anything Grant Morrison has written, especially the Doom Patrol and the Filth (the weirder the better), Alan Moore's Watchmen, Top Ten and especially Promethea (what with all the amazing J.H. Williams art? fugetaboutit), Gaiman's Sandman, Hard Boiled by Frank Miller and Geoff Darrow, The Dark Knight Returns, The Tick, y'know, the classics. Lately I've enjoyed Akira by Otomo, Ex Machina by Brian K Vaughn, RASL by Jeff Smith, Frank Miller's art in Sin City is redonculous. As for regular books, I was a big fan of the Hitchhikers Guide books back in the day, and most recently my favorite book has been Lint by Steve Aylette, a true work of entropic absurdism. I loved reading the Onion back when I lived in NYC. I seem to read a lot online lately, I've done most of my esoteric research that way, studying enlightenment, mythology, ufos and exopolitics, ancient mysteries and wisdom schools, symbolism, the unexplainable and the strange, and more or less trying to uncover the secret history of the world, really.

TV: While TV is evil, it also raised me. My faves : Monty Python, Mr Show, Yacht Rock (not really tv, but...), Lost, BattleStar Galactica (i was even digging Caprica before they sh!t-canned it), Arrested Development, the Daily Show, a bunch of the Adult Swim stuff, Joss Whedon's Firefly is the best show you've never seen, I still watch SNL and sort of love/hate it, Chapelle's show is dope. just saw some episodes of Community and was impressed with the writing and the style, News Radio was a real cool show. I like watching good stand up, sports, and can really get behind an intelligent interview. I recently saw an amazing sports documentary about the Columbian world cup soccer team of the 80s that will really put your life in perspective.

Online: I listen to tons of interviews and really recommend this site: redicecreations.com.

Art/theater: I'm a fan of the surrealist and futurist movements, and I actually got to go into a private futurist library once in a small town outside of Florence, Italy. I love all the murals here in SF. Reza Abdoh made some unbelievable theater in the early ninetees. I've seen and performed in enough downtown experimental theater to last several lifetimes. My favorite theater experiences as an actor where doing Red Noses by Peter Barnes, AC/DC by Heathcoat Williams, and roaming the streets of Prague dressed as Kaiser Wilhelm, the last Prussian emperor. I love all the incredible and unexplainable temples and statues of the ancient world (which is art, I assure you-- there is a lifetimes worth of information in the ancient world), crop circles are pretty impressive as works of art. Religious art and architecture are fairly mind blowing. And then of course there's mother nature, the greatest artist of all....

music: Wu Tang VS the Beatles, Jason Falkner/the Grays/TV Eyes, Jellyfish, XTC/Dukes of Stratosphere, just saw Ween live for the first time last month, they did a mean cover of Bowie's Let's Dance, The Shins, The Raconteurs, Brendan Benson, Tenacious D, The Stone Roses (and their lead singer Ian Brown's solo records are great!), Radiohead, newer Oasis, Jane's Addiction, Fishbone!, The Police, King Crimson, Zappa, ELO (and the soundtrack to Xanadu with Olivia Newton John really gets to me), the Foo Fighters, Dada, Beck, Outkast (including solo stuff), Tupac, Kanye, JayZ, Nas, Talib, mid career Roots, Eminem & Dre, the Beasties, P.E., Tribe/Qtip, etc etc. I loved grunge in the 90s, love inspired lyrical music like Neutral Milk Hotel and They Might Be Giants, recently I've enjoyed Mathew Sweet and the Gorillaz first album....stand up: George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Steve Martin, Marc Maron, Proops, Comedy Bang Bang....I'd love for some cute girl to turn me on to music with great new lady singers/musicians....sorry this was so long, hey I like the ahts....

music. love. a reason to be alive. knowing we are all extensions of each other and universal consciousness. laughter. beautiful women. the thought that the physical world is only one level of existence on an infinite spectrum of dimensions and realities, thereby proving once and for all that the human race is not alone in the universe.

I love the sky, and happy to see the sun, the stars or the clouds as they take their turns entertaining me....

When the ships will land.

I tend to let Friday night reveal itself to me and then roll with it from there. In the recent past it has been as varied as recording music, film acting, meditating, drinking with friends, dancing, seeing live music, stone cold chillin', going to movies, 420, jamming, wandering the streets on my cool little bike, acting on stage, staring at the stars wondering....

I once met a lady who said that while her body was in a coma, her soul was hanging out with angels on the sun. I realized while on Ayahuasca that we are all angels. Recently I've learned the earth will become a star on the spring equinox 2013. Connect the dots.....

...you think it might make you happy. Really, I would just like to meet someone who has a personality and outlook on life that is complementary to mine. We could hang out and crack each other up, keep each other warm, you know? Basically, I'd like to find someone who is cool just being with me, and then we can make up what we want to do as we go along. How does that sound?
