Mixed guy. Born and bred in Oakland, where kings are raised and our chief export is badassery. I've been living in Los Angeles for over a decade, and have begrudgingly fell in love with the place. I'm all about that good life - which can mean globe trotting it up, or grubbing dollar tacos at Leo's on Venice & La Brea.

I've been working hard for the money in the world of entertainment/production for a while now. I've also been moonlighting as a dj guy for many years, so the music is kind of a big thing for me. Love to boogie to it, mix it, and complain about it if it's too loud or just bad.

Woefully outdated dance moves. Roger Rabbit anyone?

Books - Anything by David Sedaris.
Soul on Ice. Middlesex. Classics like Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby. Autobiographies by kick-ass folks like Obama and Malcolm X.
Movies - Raising Arizona, The Shining, Enter the Dragon, Psycho, Reservoir Dogs, Big Trouble in Little China, Drive, The Mack, Almost Famous, The Life Aquatic.
TV - Daily Show, Parks and Recreation, Breaking Bad, Martin, Mad Men, Shark Week, and all basketball wifey related programming.
Music - Just don't try to convince me that listening to Dave Matthews will change my life and we'll be swell.
Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up" is the best song there ever was. Mobb Deep is cool by me too. Also The Kinks.
Food - Waffle me.

Sandwiches, Dilla beats, puppies, my motorcycle, lowbrow jokes, and the beach.

The roof of my place. I got a leak that needs fixin'.

Deciding if if I want to actually go out or not, spinning records with friends at shindigs where people mix and mingle, watching dvr'd Soul Train episodes from the early 80's, listening to bands play music at music places, chilling like I'm getting paid to do it, grabbing a fancy-time dinner with friends, listening to my neighbors blast repetitive ranchera music for hours on end, seeing a movie at the local cineplex, walking my dog while she ponders which patch of grass is most deserving of her glorious poops, pontificating on insignificant shit with buddies over Jameson shots and Cheetos.

I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.
