| Introduction | I was born on the Island of San Miguel in the Azore Islands, Portugal in 1963. My Family immigrated in 1967 to the east coast and I eventually settled in No. Ca. I am an artist of sorts but I like to dabble in lots of different areas. I am very disorganized but have resigned myself into believing it is my nature after many failed attempts to become organized. I see the glass as half-full, but with a slow leak. I derive a sick pleasure in confusing people who think they know me. I sometimes feel insecure about my lack of formal education, but feel my "social intelligence" is far greater of importance in the long run. When it presents itself as an advantage, I just let people think I'm weird. I feel an ambivalence towards my parents. I feel abivalent about money. I rarely follow a plan because I cannot be creative that way. I see beauty in what many would consider ugly but I have come to realize that many people can look at things but they really don't see or feel much. I like being alone because I can totally be myself. ART is my religion. |

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?
When he or she or it pours me a double, lights my cigarette, and slaps me a high-five.
