About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to untrap my self met people who are compasionate and to travel around and play music

ABOUT ME

I am shy, until engaged intellectually. then i talk passionately! I am dark humored, I take nothing too serious. I am a very kind person to almost a flaw but I do have a back bone. I am most passionate about honesty, art, music , films, cartoons and being a nerd!

I have become a traveling musician of sorts. Lived mainly in three places Union City, Nj, Miami FL and Cincinnati , Oh. Been part of the DIy COmmunity in Cincinnati, I still have those ethics but more for putting on my own shows and making cds,tapes, shirts and any other thing I can think of ... even action figures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I suppose the first time I came to Ohio I couch surfed at this music collective I have come to live at called the Marberg. I stayed here a month after playing this festival called AYE in loveland, the people here were wonderful and I felt at home and wanted to move here, at no point did I feel I over stayed my welcome and I cleaned their apartment a bit and was left I think a week alone in the apartment as every one traveled out. I went back to Nj were I lived, then tried living In Fl then Jersey again and a year had passed and I played AYe again that time around a very close friend had moved into the building and I decided to move in with him.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge nerd music is my thing I love neil young, woody gutherie (trying to learn how to play hardtravelin at break neck speed), leonard cohen, some manson songs chales manson that is he did write a few good tunes and its funny to listen to in a way ,contortions, fugazi can, faust, opal, sonic youth, wipers, skip james, red krayola (some songs singles is a great album though it is mostly composed of rare tracks and unrealesed stuff. hardly a singles album) thalia zedek, babes in toyland, karen dalton (a fucking goddess period), dinosaur jr, godspeed you balck emperior!!, brainticket, mudhoney and many more

currently really into rudimentary peni and circle x
which probably would have not appealed to me before
but rudimentary peni is genuious with songs like army of jesus and when you are a martian chruch (AGHGHHEhgglgKJDJHHH!! )

for movies I like old noirs, foreign shit, and lots of things ask thats what you really want to do favs are grey gardens, half japanese the band that would be king (surpised to find out that penn jellete is a residents and half japanese fan), double indemnity, sorry wrong number, la strada, cria cuervos, five easy pieces, z, z channel a magnifcent obsession, jan svankmajer shit, grizzly bear man, born into this, le magnifique, fritcarraldo

currently realizing I can spot a weepy when I see one and usually liking them, I think there is a difference between a weepy and a chick flick weepy has more of a message a story, chick flicks are about expensive shoes. I mean a weepy can be stella dallas or imatation of life (douglas sirk) (funny and silly but also very good at parts) also in love with chalk garden

books i loved perfume (did not really like the movie though felt less existential and summed it more up to a specific love), ham on rye, a few philosophy books, things like 1984 and if your paying close attention we cause it influenced both 1984 and a brave new world ( I have to get one of those ask me about buttons that say aske me about we cause I can go on about this book man it's so great,stuff by audre lorde, orwell, bukowski, satre, kerikagaard
