Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Currently not looking for love.

I hate writing about myself. I'm an artist. I like lists and fragmented sentences. I love to paint, spray, oil, acrylic, ink, whatever but I can never find the time anymore. I need visual inspiration. Music will always lead my life. I worship the gods of rock. Most of the time, i don't capitalize i, nor do i put much time into fixing my spelling mistakes. I'm constantly reading, spending entirely too much time at my local bookstore. Mom's Cuban, Dad's White, i'm somewhere in the middle(is this important?). Definitely Strawberry Cheesecake Ben and Jerry's (former Cherry Garcia Junkie). I'm obssesed with politics. I have very strong opinions and I need to be around others with the same. I make people laugh when i'm not trying, and can never make them laugh when i try. I probably also spend too much time online. I go out of my way to smell good. I'm trying to quit TV but finding it harder than quitting smoking(going very well). I hate cold floors in the morning. I have too much clothing but i'm always telling myself i need more. I don't like the beach but i really want to(I think it's love-hate). I find it hard to just walk up to a stranger and start talking. I'm brutally honest and it gets me in trouble all the time. I hate starting sentences that start with 'I'. I'll never do this again. I think I wrote too much...

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I work at a museum as an accountant, which is as boring as it sounds but i love my job anyway. In fact, I'm there right now...how could you not love a job that can afford the time to allow me to do silly stuff like this? Usually when i'm not at work I'm trying to create something beautiful or i'm on my couch being lazy. I have a pretty slow life but I'm happy with it like that.

Note: I hate this question. It seems like something someones father would ask.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I can cook an amazing tuna melt among other things. I can usually tell time without looking at a clock. Give me three bands you love and i'll introduce to one you've never heard of that you'll love(some exclusions apply). I'm good at breaking shit but i can usually fix whatever i broke. I can fix just about any computer. I can remember vast amounts of useless pop culture trivia. I can do some damage on a drum set; I wish i played the piano better though. I can make an awesome mix cd, i just don't do it anymore. I give a world famous back massage. I keep my cool in crazy situations where most people would freak.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

Most people also say i'm tall but i don't feel tall. Height seems more relevant as a fact as opposed to a perspective, but i would say 6 ft tall is about average. People say i look like Ralph Macchio(the Karate Kid) all though i might disagree. Sometimes when i first meet people i have a hard time looking them in the eyes. I have a firm handshake and an olive complexion with dark hair and eyes. Most people assume i'm Spanish but some people ask. Sometimes i tell them something crazy to see their reaction. My favorite is Inuit.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

Favorite books include Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller, East of Eden and Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or any Hunter S Thompson. Old Chuck Palahniuk and any Kurt Vonnegut must be mentioned. Henry Rollins is one of my favorite prose writers from my past but I just can't do it anymore. Christopher Moore is great when I'm looking for a lighter read. I love the 'classics' and would like to own them all. I'm constantly battling myself on which is more important, my book collection or my music library. I'm currently reading Revolution by Dr Ron Paul.

Edit: Now reading "Breakfast of Champions" by Kurt Vonnegut and "American Psycho" by Easton Ellis. I'm moving soon so i packed all my books, then i had a panic attack...cuz i packed all my books. so i just went out and got these classics i should have anyway. I want to start collecting books again. They're like little trophies....

Favorite movies = difficult. Stanley Kubrick movies are among the best ever created imho. Darren Aronofsky and Quentin Tarantino are also masters of their craft, but in all honesty, most of the time i'd rather watch a mindless comedy or satire. Honestly, I'm just drawing a blank right now.

Music is a huge part of my life. Usually if i'm not listening to it, i'm trying to make it. As for influences, I'll just list bands; Radiohead, the Beatles especially John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Tool, the Flaming Lips, Elliott Smith, Porcupine Tree, Jeff Buckley, Muse, The Black Keys, Deathcab for Cutie, Saul Williams, The Roots, SOAD, Mindless Self Indulgence(personality gauge), Miles Davis, Queens of the Stone Age, Broken Social Scene, Massive Attack, Deftones, Aesop Rock, old Incubus, Immortal Technique, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, John Coltrane, 311, G-Love, Feist, EBTG, Sean Lennon(yes, John's Son), Ours, Wilco, Portishead, Pinback, Beck, Soul Coughing, Rage Against the Machine, jeez this goes on and on. Currently listening to One Day as a Lion EP, Kings of Leon Only By the Night, old Atmosphere, Metric(thank you) and Elliott Smith, various albums. I can't get enough Elliott lately.. Don't be fooled, i love hip-hop and jazz equally, i'm just trying to keep this readable.

Last Concert: Modest Mouse
Concert Before Last: Mars Volta
Before that: Langerado Festival

Going to see Kings of Leon Nov 18 in Atlanta...can't freakin' wait! I love road trips. Also, Atmosphere is Oct 3. Someone was nice enough to extend their extra ticket and their company...

I love to cook, especially for others, and I like to try new things with someone else adventurous. Spanish food is what i was raised on so i love trying to emulate what was cooked for me as a child. I also enjoy wine and wine tasting, it momentarily makes me feel rich and snooty. Fast food is evil...I do a good job of keeping it at bay.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Granted i have the necessities: my friends and family, weekends, internet, music, coffee.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Why do human beings even like music? What is it about harmony and rhythm that recalls such emotion and kinetic energy? How much of what i was taught in school was wrong? How can i stop my country from killing, then saying it's for me, or in my name? How the hell does my phone do all that cool shit? Why doesn't my battery last longer? Do hamsters in wheels secretly power Tri-Rail? How many amazing or influential works of literature have been lost forever? I wonder what ::person:: is doing RIGHT NOW. Are ghosts real? I want to have an experience. How EXACTLY does the internet work? I know there's an answer and it's probably beyond my comprehension. How do you outlaw a plant? Why do people drive like assholes in the rain? Or ever? Why am i musically retarded? Is there a shadow government? Why does everything good for you taste bad and everything bad for you tastes soooo good? Why do i think so much? I would love to buy somebody something with my thousands of activity points.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

I've put my party club days behind me so if i'm out, i generally like to go someplace low key, someplace i can hear the person i'm with, unless of course, it's a concert and i'll go to just about any show. Most nights....i just want to stay home and read, or curl up lazy style with the TV on Discovery Channel. But Saturday night, that's a whole other story! But you didn't ask about Saturday night...

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

Sometimes, when the mood strikes me just right, i like to sing in the shower. When i was a kid, i snorted pixi stix, and that explains alot. I've never used a social networking site before now, therefore, I don't have a "Myspace", and probably never will. I've never met anyone in person that i met first on the internet, but i want to.

Edit: I met someone from this site on Friday. She's beautiful and tall and extremely friendly, contratry to her own statements on her profile. Despite my social hiccups, i'd say the night went very well. Thanks for being so easy to talk to!

I also want to make funny faces at you. I think my profile is gay.

You should message me if Propose an edit

Ooohh, THIS is the part where i chat myself up...

you're looking for stimulating conversation with a charming young gentleman, if you can't resist ice cream binges(there's others like you), some one to play music with, if you have a joke you just need to tell someone, a Heroes or Lost TV buddy(i can't get enough) or if you're looking for some really corny lines, or a really soft cat to pet, i think i may have the softest...ever.
