friendster, you sold out - but at least you didn't sell out to fox.

my name rhymes with pirhana. i'm an actor, writer, singer, artist, photographer, dancer, percussionist, and pianist. i'm a walking contradiction: i love grammar but i tend to type in lowercase; similarly, i like structure but i tend to bend rules. i like to sing and dance, whether or not there's music playing. many people say i'm a total clown, but i only make a scene when i'm trying to make someone happy (which i do a lot). in order to make myself happy i have to be active, preferably creating profound shit. i love new things, last-minute plans, really late nights, sunday breakfast, poi, my rx-7, a good book, a cup of hot tea, and the number 23. i snot on those who force body and self-worth issues, big corporations (especially the brainwashing type), george w., homophobia, and everyday prejudice, including that under the guise of organized religion. i'm really much more laid back than this profile would lead you to believe - i just like to analyze.

THREE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE:
1. accept and embrace myself (without the aid/encouragement of anyone else).
2. make meaningful art that enlightens people.
3. through hard work and inspiration, gain the mad skillz equalling the likes of judi dench, eva cassidy, and kathy acker. PH34R!

My skin is sort of brownish pinkish yellowish white.
My eyes are greyish blueish green, but I'm told they look orange in the night.
My hair is reddish blondish brown, but it's silver when it's wet.
And all the colors I am inside have not been invented yet.
