Whew, might need a nanny.<\/span><\/p>\nCity you live in: <\/b>I live in scottsdale close to Old Town.<\/span><\/p>\nA typical day in my life includes\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\nI was born\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
on a full moon while the wolves howled my name during a rainstorm. The local sheriff said – and I quote: \u201cAin\u2019t seen nothin\u2019 like dis in thirty years. Stay indoors, I think somethin\u2019 is-a comin\u2019 \u201c<\/span><\/p>\nMy favorite thing about Arizona\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
would have to be the sunsets. I\u2019ve been to a lot of different parts of the world and there just isn\u2019t anything that compares. I wish I could bottle it.<\/span><\/p>\nI’m listening to\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
a lot of jazz hip-hop lately. Weird, right? It;s actually really chill. \u00a0if you\u2019re new to the genre, \u00a0check out these guys; Maxwell Young, Tomppabeats, The Deli, eli filosov [ p h i l o ], Engelwood, Mounika, & Wush. I promise you\u2019ll like them all! But if it somehow turns out that you don\u2019t enjoy the music, contact my agent and tell him the whole situation, he\u2019ll give you your refund.<\/span><\/p>\nMy family\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
IS AMAZING, THEY\u2019VE BEEN THERE THRU ALL OF IT, THICK N THIN. \u00a0I COULDN\u2019T ASK TO BE BORN INTO A BETTER FAMILY. \u00a0MY MOM & DAD ARE PHENOMENAL PEOPLE! \u00a0THEY\u2019RE SO UNDERSTANDING AND PATIENT. \u00a0NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE GET THAT OPPORTUNITY. \u00a0I HOPE TO ONE DAY START A FAMILY OF MY OWN THAT MIRRORS THESE PERFECT HUMAN BEINGS!!!!!!!<\/span><\/p>\nIf I could have dinner with anyone, it would be\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
Pablo Picasso. \u00a0He\u2019s a personal idol of mine. \u00a0I\u2019ve looked up to this man for all of my life. \u00a0His technical and emotionally abstract\/artistic skill is unrivaled. I\u2019d be without words to even sit at the same table as him. <\/span><\/p>\nOne thing I cannot live without\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
would have to be my family. They keep me grounded. I\u2019m sure you can take a wild guess as to how I feel about them.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen I was younger, I wanted to be\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
an artist…but not just any artist. I want to be one of the great artists in the history books…Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Daniel Gamez…a boy can dream right?<\/span><\/p>\nI’m inspired by\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
a lot of different things. I wanna tell you it’s one thing or one person or ideal but its not. It comes to me at random times and even from the most unexpected people. A mixture of assorted influences. I hope that makes sense?<\/span><\/p>\nThe one person who motivates me is\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
my mom. She\u2019s always making sure I’m making myself better than the last day.<\/span><\/p>\nIf I could change anything in the world, it would be\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
the environment. I wish we had the technology to magically fix it overnight. Hell, I\u2019d take a month if that were an option. Did you guys know there are two HUGE F@#$\u2019ING PILES OF FLOATING TRASH IN OUR OCEAN?!?!?! \u2026.now that\u2019s crazy.<\/span><\/p>\nThe perfect day would be\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
what’s the normal perfect day that everyone always says? \u201cIf i got to visit another country\u201d, \u201cif i got to marry the person I\u2019m in love with\u201d, \u201cif i got a bunch of money so I went to the beach and had X amount of drinks and ran into a shady figure named Jose with a handlebar mustache who showed me where to find hidden treasure but first I would need to give him my social security number which is 422-61-8-\u201d…I’m gonna stop myself right there, that was getting pretty specific, but i think you get my point. Doesn\u2019t everyone get to do those things at one point or another? For me, the perfect day would be if I miraculously somehow found a way off the planet. Now that would truly be amazing.<\/span><\/p>\nMy first job was\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
working in the kitchen of my Uncle\u2019s restaurant. That job was awesome. I got to show up late and take long breaks. Eat what i want when i wanted without even paying for anything. The perfect job for a teenage little sh*t…damn, if i could just go back.<\/span><\/p>\nMy favorite escape\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
would have to be my art. \u00a0I put in my headphones and bust out that paint. The world just melts away. It’s so insanely soothing to see it all come to together. It’s like \u201cWOW I MADE THIS AND IT DOESN\u2019T SUCK!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nMy life\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
is a constant struggle with \u201cwho i am\u201d versus \u201cwho i want to be\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\nI’m currently working on\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
a new set of paintings. There\u2019s 3 of them, each canvas holds an abstract representation of a woman. I would describe them more, but it would just come out as nonsense. If you see me in person sometime down the road, ask me about them, I\u2019ll show you pictures!<\/span><\/p>\nAlways\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
remember to call your Mom every now and then to let her know you\u2019re doing okay.<\/span><\/p>\nNever\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
say never. Ever.<\/span><\/p>\nFavorite Quote\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
King Arthur: Old woman!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: Man.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: I’m 37.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: What?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: I’m 37. I’m not old.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: Well I can’t just call you “man”.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: Well you could say “Dennis”.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: I didn’t know you were called Dennis.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: Well you didn’t bother to find out, did you?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: I did say sorry about the “old woman”, but from behind you looked…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: Well, I <\/span>am<\/span> king.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how’d you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. If there’s ever gonna be any progress…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: Dennis! There’s some lovely filth down here… Oh! How do you do?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n[Dennis joins the Peasant Woman in the nearby filth patch]<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, king of the Britons. Whose castle is that?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: King of the who?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: The Britons.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: Who’re the “Britons”?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: Well, we all are. We’re all Britons, and I am your king.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: Didn’t know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: You’re fooling yourself. We’re living in a dictatorship! A self-perpetuating autocracy, in which the working classes…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: Oh, there you go, bringing class into it again.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: Well, that’s what it’s all about! If only people would–<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: <\/span>Please<\/span>, please, good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: No one lives there.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: Then who is your lord?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: We don’t have a lord.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: <\/span>What?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: I told you, we’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take turns to act as sort of executive officer for the week…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: Yes…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: …but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: Yes I see…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: …by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: Be quiet!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: …but by a two thirds majority in the case of more…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: Be quiet! I <\/span>order<\/span> you to be quiet!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: “Order”, eh? Who does he think he is?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: I am your king.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: Well, I didn’t vote for you.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: You don’t vote for kings.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nPeasant Woman: Well, how’d you become king, then?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n[Angelic music plays…]<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nKing Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. <\/span>That<\/span> is why I am your king.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: Listen. <\/span>Strange women<\/span> lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some <\/span>farcical aquatic ceremony.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nArthur: Be quiet!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: You can’t expect to wield <\/span>supreme executive power<\/span> just ’cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nArthur: Shut <\/span>up!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nArthur: <\/span>[grabs Dennis]<\/span> Shut up! Will you <\/span>shut up?!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nArthur: <\/span>[shakes Dennis]<\/span> Shut up!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I’m being repressed!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nArthur: Bloody Peasant!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nDennis: Ooh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That’s what I’m on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn’t you?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n[sorry about the length. this is literally my favorite quote ever]<\/span><\/p>\nBiggest Dream\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
is to teach art at the Royal College Of Art in the United Kingdom with Dr. Mel Jordan. It’s ranked the top art school in the world with some of the most skilled artists. It would be an honor to even be considered eligible to attend.<\/span><\/p>\nMy Pet Peeve(s)\u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
