Here is one of my idiosyncrasies, I have a very good memory to remember intricate details and techinques to derive from to create a painting. I am also great in remembering a person's face and where I had met them. But for the life of me, I am not good with names. I guess I have a brain with a selective memory to retain information.
But don't worry, I find it fun to work my conversations around the fact that I do not have a clue what this person's name is that I am talking to. This is a little game I play inside my head, I happen to win "most" of the time. Notice the key word is "most".

I research the hell out of everything. I never give anyone the benefit of the doubt until I check several sources prior to agreeing/disagreeing with them.

People tell me that I could be a little intimidating because of my persona and confidence. I usually speak my mind and do not worry about any repercussions about it.

My sense of humor is either very dark or very cheesy!

In addition, I am a professional artist. I tend to do a large amount of work throughout the week into the wee hours of the night. I have a couple to a few art exhibits a week, so if you are willing to be dragged around town let me know.

I am artistic, imaginative, and cautious

Art of course!

Art, writing, math, music, and interviews with the media, thumb wrestling, installing shower curtains, walking forward in a steady pace, yelling at fish in the ocean, remembering to brush my teeth, ignoring my neighbors, forcing women to run in high heels, putting on my brief boxers properly, french kissing, and making a kick ass grilled cheese sandwich.

That I am a genuine person.

1.) Painting
2.) Imagination
3.) Speaking my mind
4.) Honesty
5.) Music
6.) Eloquence

Myself, my painting, my character, the Low Brow Art genre, how the human race over consumes (I am guilty as well), the lyrics of my favorite songs.

Here are some of the random questions I often think about:

1.) What would happen if I explode a large bottle-rocket in my house?

2.) Does my cat ever dream about devouring me whole?

3.) Why did Peter Puma only have one episode on Looney Tunes?

4.) How do theater patrons sneak vegetables into the play to throw at the actors when they perform poorly?

5.) Will there ever be a comedy team better than The Three Stooges? (Obviously never)

6.) There are some people who say to use your indoor voice. I think to myself, why don't some people use their "inside their head voice" so that we wouldn't have to hear them?

7.) Trying to find the guy who invented work so that I could kick his ass!

8.) How it takes several Cal-Trans workers to dig a hole?

9.) Why women make me feel all squishy inside?

10.) Was Gonzo gay? Hell, he was a guy but he would get all weird and affectionate when Big Bird would come around. Wasn't Big Bird a Guy too?

Work during the day and having the time to step out to find the right gal.

That I am reluctant to disclose any private information. Unless you get me in a figure 4 leg lock and threaten to snap my neck, then I'll probably reconsider.

I ever lose consciousness.
