    I am not into labels, but if I was forced to label myself, I would say "anarcho - hippie - gutter - goth - glam - punk - art - boy." I am an indepedent filmmaker, musician, and activist interested in the rebellions that form on the fringes of society, the carnivalesque, the grotesque, and the autonomous zones which emerge within the belly of the beast. I think the new relations created in mass rebellion represent a new society emerging within the shell of the old. ..

    I also enjoy travelling. I spent 5 years on the road, mostly the west coast, squatting, living on beaches, wherever destiny took me. It changed me in mostly good ways, and taught me most of what I know about the world.

About me:

..



"The rebel is the standard-bearer of the visionaries who gradually increase man's ethical stature; because there is always evil around us, he represents one of the eternal dimensions of mankind.... Even if perfect social justice and complete freedom from want were to prevail in a world at peace, rebels would still be needed wherever the world is out of joint, which now means everywhere." -- Rene' Dubos


I cannot deny that 3/4ths of the world lives in poverty while others prosper on their suffering. I choose my friends because of the infinite pleasures of humanity and love they bring to me, but I also presuppose the infinite suffering I am willing to go through for them.

I believe love is not just a feeling but a state of being and that in learning to accept and love others, you learn to love yourself. Love is a dialectical relationship where you want for another everything you would want for yourself, and vice-versa, you want for yourself what you would want for another. It is being able to laugh at yourself, love yourself, and accept you are wrong. Sometimes everyone is wrong, and it is only if you are open to realizing how wrong you are can you be open to seeing new possabilities of being.

We are all individuals, but we are born a blank slate. We can either be reactionary and let the past define us, or we can be revolutionary and re-define ourselves. Freedom is the essence of the human mind and spirit, but only when the economic and govermental means of power no longer exist can the true potential of humanity finally be realized.


I beleive our capitalist society has made us so focused on carnal survival, we have reduced pleasure to its most base and carnal forms. Pleasure is only worthy if it can be commodified, bought and sold, it's soul reduced to qualities that can be quantified in the industrial process of production.

I reject the vulgar materialism of our society that wants to force everyone to worship a white god and a white jesus while betraying the morales it claims to stand for, chasing after economic wealth, and measuring a person's worth by the value of their portfolio. While most of the world lives on less than $1/day, the biggest problem for most people in the "first" world is obesity, Money cannot bring me happiness, but the lack of it spreads the most horrible misery. Thousands starve every day while the food that could feed them rots or is destoryed. Why? So the rich can get richer, while the poor get poorer. That is a psychotic mash of my mind.

Who I'd like to meet:

Freaks, rebels, musicians, noisicians, anarchist, environmentalist, socialists, anti-authoritarians, psychics, pagans, radicals, christian liberationsits, free thinkings, priestesses, free lovers,free radicals, gnomes, fairies, pixies, artists, and anyone interested in changing the world and expanding the boundaries of reality, inserting fun and critique into the scene we call life, whether you're real or from an imaginary world :-)

Smash the State of Ordinary Consciousness!


If you're in a band or musician and would like to collaborate musically or you want a video, hit me up.

Peace. Love. Revolution.
