About Me
I'm a student at CSUN (Psyc major) after a 5 year hiatus and after promising I'd never go back to school. I"m originally from TX but moved to CA about 5 years ago and this brings my parents much worry. I just bought a new pair of Burberry prescription glasses that I think make me look like kind of cool. I'm also one of the guys at the top of your screen. See if you can pick me out.
Occupation
I make photocopies (not Kinko's) for money. Now you know why I"m going back to school.
Favorite Music
Lakeshore Records and Killbeat Records sends me free CD's so I like them a lot. The rappers I like right now are Grip Grand and Cool Calm Pete. Rock bands I like right now are Two Hours Traffic and Great Lake Swimmers. Somewhere in between is Citizen Cope who I've been a huge fan of for years. R & B: Dwele, Van Hunt. Just to give you a taste of what I listen to I'll name the next 10 songs in my iTunes Party Shuffle

Favorite Shows & Movies
I'm currently writing a song about "The Wonder Years" and it's gonna be awesome! I was also thinking about the similarities between Wonder Years and another show I love; Scrubs. They both have voice overs and have a great soundtrack. So, I guess those are the types of shows I like.
Last 5 really good movies I rented on Netflix were:
The History Boys
Little Children
La Strada (I love Fellini!)
Volver
Cocaine Cowboys
Favorite Books
My favorite book is Siddhartha (changed my life) The Alchemist is a close second. I'm currently reading The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat. It's a collection of clinical tales of people with neurological disfunctions. (Psyc Major)
I also love anything by Zadie Smith.
I'm FINALY putting the finishing touches on my novel (hopefully out by the end of the year) so that'll probably be my favorite. I also wrote a book called "The Bleeding" years ago but I wouldn't count it among my favorites. Not much of a sales pitch, huh?
Interests
Movies (listed below) Music (listed below) and Magazines (Esquire, GQ, King, XXL, Complex, ***** [yes there is a magazine named that] & CMJ New Music Monthly). I like TV, cooking, and I think I know too much about mens' fashion but they don't start with "M." My bedroom is a recording studio so when I find time I produce, mix and record music. Mostly my own but sometimes for others. When I'm not doing that I'm writing for various websites. This one included.
