If you are called to be a street sweeper, sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.

I is: a student of art/ philosophy/ life at cal state long beach, studying abroad in Firenze, Italia all'universita' di Belli Arte (the one Michelangelo started). There exists in me a dangerous passion for drawing and painting with any medium. My favorite movie is City of God, a wonderful piece of cinematographic pleasure, albeit violent and very real. i love the graffiti culture and all forms of artistic expression, the endless pursuit of beauty in life and art, foreign films, girls, marijuana in moderation, bowling, painting with passion and genuine vision (like that nutso Van Gogh– i think he was a realist trapped in an expressionists body), talking shit on Bush, eating tacos and drinking beer in mexico and just hangin out. People take their lives for granted. I don't want to live in the shoulda's, because that breeds regrets and we don't want any of that now, do we? 

Art gives people license to fuck the status quo. I'm out to create an alliance of artists that strive to challenge their own artistic worth and abilities, even if this comes at the expense of their reputation, family, friends, etcetera, etcetera. Cubic Creatures of America Disunited a.k.a. Les XX is going to be a band of individuals who are in pursuit of a pure, open mind who must challenge what is beautiful, what is art, what is censorship and what is reality. We will create an imbalanced balance, making people wonder why it is they were ever placed on this quickly melting planet in the first place. We're kinda like the Nihilists, only with more of a purpose. So far, i'm the only member, cuz no one wants to fuck art as badly as i do. Sometimes, i just want to punch art in the face…

Anyhoo, I'm here to embrace others, to relish in positive communication and enjoy the differences we all share as completely unique and entirely similar human beings. I'd love to join the Peace Corps whenever i finish school, or just roam around europe for a couple of years. I am an open book. I have no expectations when it comes to people or life. Feel free to talk with me about this crazy world, and i love meeting new friends.

“There is no plan,” said Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.), who helped lead opposition to the White House war strategy.

“We went to war with too few troops. We went to war unnecessarily. We went to war with these men and women ill-equipped. They are coming home ill-served,” Biden said. “It's about time we had the courage to stand up and say to the president, 'Mr. President, you have not only put us in harm's way, you have harmed us…. You are leading us off a cliff.' ”
