Verbiage 2000: You can tell by my naiveté. I was full of piss and vinegar back then.

DISCLAIMER: I was born in Asia and went to elementary and high school in the Kentucky, so my English and grammar is ain't no gud....noticed this is not NASA's website. In addition, this computer thing is very new (5-20-99) to me and I don't know where/what the heck Spell Check is. You have to give me credit for trying and build this site all by me-little-old-self. (Update 11-27-99: I found spell check but what about grammar check?) Scroll down for more.


The following could be interesting or just plain old self indulgent crap.

TITLE: MY VANILLA BIO

Aside from the House of Detention, This is "Van the Man Next Door" BIO. This is who I am mostly... blending in with most of society. Yes, very boring...enjoying vanilla sex like everyone else. My neighbor, sixty-something Italian grandma, thinks I am an angel and doesn't understand why I don't have a family yet. This bio here below reflects that.

MY SENSE OF HUMOR: Yes, I am at that magical age where I managed to maintain my youthful acne and now gaining some very special wrinkles. I'm just blessed with it all !!!!! Well let me tell a little about myself. I am trying to make this site very personable and warm. This is real life so slip off your emotional condom and bareback with me. I have this strange sense of humor and some people do take offend to it. I am a jokester and I do pull pranks on my friends/foes (friends and foes are the same to me:) Laughter and tattoos are the greatest remedies to life's ill. You may quote me on that.

MY PHILOSOPHY:: I'm pretty much a laid back, easy going kinda guy. I guess I'm just a regular person who's really down to earth. My philosophy is "Treat people the same way as you want to be treated." I know it's not very original but I truly believe that. I personally treat everyone with kindness and respect and just hope for the best. Now I'm sounding like a Mr. International Leather contestant.

MY LOVE LIFE: Right now I'm single ... I had a three year relationship which ended in 1998. That one almost do me in....but we wont get into that. We're all responsible for our own heaven and our own hell. We can not blame anyone else or CAN we? (try www.exlovers.com he is registered there:)... Email me pix of your EX...the most compromising pix the better. If I have enough, I will post an EX Lovers Bitching Page on my site. Don't get me wrong.....I'm very affectionate, giving and a cuddle monster in a relationship :)

At the present moment, I am having a relationship with my computer. His name is Hell the evil twin brother of Hal from 2001. When we quarreled, I would ride my motorcycle (750 Yamaha Special '79, a piece of crap) to the gym to "air out" and I'm afraid it has been happening a lot lately. Otherwise, I would stare deep...deeply into Hell's face for oh seven or eight hours at a time. The relationship right now is pretty passionate and intense as with all new relationships.

MY INTERESTS: I enjoy a good, long, hard, dark........... SciFi once in awhile. I love Alien movies, Dune, Dark City...Matrix. I'm not too thrill about Star Wars even back in the old bowl cut days of six or seven years old. I called it the "McDonnald's SciFi" but if you see me standing in line for it, don't make wise cracks. 6-27-99 update...saw it...great eye-candy. I saw Pitch Black by myself one rainy afternoon in February 2000. I gave it a B-. It was a good idea but the story and the actors were really bad. The first five minutes was interesting though. Well now I'm looking forward to Mission to Mars....

I don't drink, smoke or use drugs nor I judge anyone who does. (Me? Judge? Hahaha.) Who are we to judge? We all have picked and chosen our morals and have justified them so we can sleep at night. We all have skeletons in our closet... Only I choose to show mine on the web. So. I don't act like I have a stick up my ass if someone offer me a drag off his joint. Life is about moderation. Don't you think?

For the past year, I have been doing a single trapeze act with another guy. We did a couple of Tom of Finland parties and a show at Highways Performance Space.

MY FUTURE: I am an artist and not a business man....very bad at making business decisions and money stuffs. People tell me that I can make more money at what I'm doing...somehow I don't feel comfortable with the business aspect of my art and make just enough to get by.

I am hoping to marry Tom Cruise (The Hollywood movie star or the porn star. It's all good.) or Goldberg
(The wrestling star). If the marriage plan doesn't pan out, then I'll move to the countryside of Japan and learn Raku the ancient art of pottery making. OR live in that strange trailer park facing the ocean in Malibu with 10 cats.

11-27-99 update: The coil of time is squeezing tighter and tighter. I am now saving up for my double wide trailer. Click here to view my savings status.

REFERENCE: I was told by someone very famous that I have a good light in me....
