about efrain

i'm efrain gomez and this is my myspace. someone once referred to online social networks as "shrines to ourselves"; i suppose that's true. these 'social network profiles' are really the epitomy of self-absorbed human nature in digital form - little worlds where we are gods and there is none else. a bit like hell i suppose, except without the whole suffering in eternal separation from our Creator thing.
dang. that killed the mood. i digress...

Creativity in many forms and combinations of art, animation, film, new media, and design, and performance interest me.

I love illustration, cartooning, artsy/creative stuff, movies, and comedy (among a plethora of other things). I am enthralled with things like colour, design, coffee, laughing, art, web and video production, and filmmaking. I work as Webmaster for Trend Micro, and do movie commentary for Hollywood Jesus and life in general.

I studied storytelling through media (Teledramatic Arts & Technology at CSUMB), emphasizing in filmmaking (camera/visuals and editing are probably my strengths). I think I like the outdoors and beaches even though I don’t often make time to enjoy those things. I’d go surfing and skating and beaching all the time if i had skill, and well… more time.

Other facts
i live in the country of California. although i love to draw and paint, i do not get to do that for a living. i like italian, indian, and 'mediterranean' food. i like 'afro-caribbean' music. I’m a Christian. I love art and design, color and creation, beauty and poetry and much of what some call ‘artsy fartsy’. i wish i could fly, or at least walk around with a red cape without anyone making fun of me. i wish i could act in movies or theatre. i would like to some day direct a movie and/or be a cinematographer, working in HD. i like cheez-its. and spoken word performance. but not necessarily together. and don't you hate cheezy jokes? i really hate computers. i like reading about religion and culture. i like guitar and trying to play it. i love ping-pong but don't have anyone to play with. i like some other stuff that might make you think i'm cooler than i really am.
Kindalikesorta is my website.

i like sunlight, life, air, warm blankets, comfortable jeans, jumbo spinach tortellini, ping-pong and 'breakfast cereal'.
i love cereal. morning, noon, or night, in a box with a fox on the rocks -- cereal is always good. i think LIFE cereal is possibly my favouritest -- blissful chunks of heaven packaged in lightly-sweetened chexy squares.

i absolutely hate when i'm eating cereal and milk dribbles down my chin. it makes me so mad i want to punch whoever's closest to me in the face. But no one is usually around cuz i'm eating in the closet, so i just bite down really hard on my spoon, hoping that i'd at least bruise my spoon's ribs. my spoon never reacts, it just sits there, and i'm the one with my tooth chipped and fillings torn out. oh spoon, how i loathe thee.

i don't like pleated pants, or snobby restaurant hosts, or people who insist that the proper pronunciation for 'bruschetta' is broo-sheddah.

i also hate it when people say "how was your weekend?" or "how are you?" as they scramble passed me in the hallways at work. Every time They do that, I want to throw hot coffee in their left eye. Why the left eye? well because it sounds cool like that girl from TLC.

i like saltwater taffy being smooshed and stretched in those machines. and feta cheese. and falafels. and hummus. and baklava. hmmm... 'mediterranean' food items. that was weird.

Walking Contradiction

People, no matter how simple, ignorant, naive, intelligent, angry, shallow, or whatever....are complex. We simply cannot be described easily in an "About Me" box.

We are walking contradictions, paradoxes, miracles, simultaneously wise and foolish, at times meandering in the maze of mediocrity while striving for the high plain of peace, good will, success and all that.

in a nutshell: i'm a weak boy and a strong man. i am angry and i am nice. i am a punk and a gent. i am an artist and a hack. i'm a nerd with a desire for the suave and debonair. i am both genius and fool. i am lazy and ambitious. i am unsure and determined. i am funny and boring. i am bitter and at peace. i laugh at the supposed self-sufficient spoiled sillies, while at the same time weep at the self-imposed frustrations of my own life. i accept the things i cannot change while cursing them all along the way. i shake my fists at God while clenching them in prayer for grace. i am hip hop and classic bach. i am superman and i am stick man. i am a dirty rag at the feet of God, and i am a prince in His court. i am talented and without skill. i am knowledgeable, but know nothing. i love nature, but never stop to walk through it all. i have privilege, but no luxury. i've fallen seven times, only to rise again and move on. though the waves of life encompass my circle of vision, i will move on.

i am all these things and more, and yes, perhaps even less. i am efrain. hear me squeak.

more me, my narcissistic self, and I

God, make me a billionaire so I can give it all away...

"Why grab possessions like thieves, or divide them like socialists, when you can ignore them like wise men?"
~ Natalie Clifford Barney

la mia famiglia

i'm a son to Tina. a brother to Felisha & Michael. blood to Los Olivérez. fellow saint in the household of faith. and a friend to all. my mother is a little woman with a voice that can shake the heavens, a look that can cut you in two, a hand that can push back the clouds, and a prayer that can move the hand of God. even after all the heartache i've caused her, she still loves me, my brother, and sister more than anything in this world.
my sister is kindalike a wacky, more outgoing, punk version of my mum. she thinks she's big and bad, but she'll always be my little sister.
my brother is a big ol' giant little brother. he's a Divo. a singer/vocalist and musician.

as far back as I can remember...

I always wanted to be a gangster. Okay not really, but since I was about two years old, I've loved to draw, paint, and do creative stuff. Cartoons after school and on Saturday mornings have a special place in my heart, inspiring much of my doodling throughout the years. But like all artists, my artistic enrichment comes from the work of many sources -- from the frescoes of the Renaissance to Banksy's bold commentary to the inimitable beauty of God's creation.

some artistic inspiration //

el greco, jan van eyeck, m. night shyamalan, michelangelo, caravaggio, keith harring, jackson pollock, frank lloyd wright, vasquez, bill watterson, matthew libatique, japanese paintings, clean watercolour paintings, greco-roman architecture, early christian art and imagery, nature, beautiful cinematography and photography, tim burton, alfred hitchcock, orson welles, darren arronofsky, joel and ethan coen, rich colours and lighting, justin bua, moving and handheld camera work(in movies), and other stuff.

"I don't think that writers or painters or filmmakers function because they have something they particularly want to say. They have something that they feel. And they like the art form; they like words, or the smell of paint, or celluloid and photographic images and working with actors. I don't think that any genuine artist has ever been oriented by some didactic point of view, even if he thought he was."
~ Stanley Kubrick

heroes //

Those who put God, their families and communities before themselves are heroes to me. But if we're talking specific word-association: my Mom (no man or woman impresses me more than she), David (the shepherd-king of Israel), and Superman (Man of Steel) come to mind.

movies //

Slumdog Millionaire, The Fall, Kung Fu Panda, The Fountain, the Passion of Joan of Arc, Macario, El Laberinto del Fauno, Unbreakable, The Matrix, il Postino, Angelitos Negros (1948), Memento, The Man Who Wasn't There, Chocolat, Requiem for a Dream, Citizen Kane, Habla Con Ella, Le Fils, The Return, Collateral, Kundun, Lola rennt, Napoleon Dynamite, Truman Show, La Cité des enfants perdus, Christopher Guest's movies, La Vita e Bella, The Sound of Music, minority report, Strangers on a Train, Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Harvey, magnolia, crash(2005), voces inocentes.
+ Wait a minute.
- Everyone says that. But I don't grant any reprieves.
~ The Seventh Seal

tv //

4 8 15 16 23 42. heroes. smallville. ugly betty.

music //

stuff that sounds nice to me. i don't know much about popular musicians, bands, genres, or the wannabe-obscure re-hash of a band on your tshirt.

books //

i read stuff that interests me: art history and criticism, urban art, street art, fashion illustration, cinematography and filmmaking, philosophy, christianity and theology, world religions, origins of life and Big Questions stuff, cultural/social/ethical stuff, other stuff.

i don't read much fiction. but i do like to read some comic strips and short stories. Check out Calvin & Hobbes, Stuff Sucks, or Bone. I recently read "Leaper" by Geoffrey Wood - that was an awesome book.

the end.

i've basically summarized my entire being in these boxes, you need not ever meet me or contact me as there is nothing more to know. :p
