Itos Ledesma

Hi.I am Itos Ledesma.My full name is Augusto Xavier Ledesma.I was born on the 26th day of the 2nd month of the 1994th year of the common era.

I live in a house and spend most of my time in a room full of books,CD’s and pirated DVD’s.I play the guitar,the piano and I like to think that I sing pretty well.I enjoy writing songs in English and writing poetry in Filipino but I can’t write songs in Filipino or poetry in English.I’ve written a few stories but the protagonist always dies in the end so I have to improve.I am addicted to the stage and I have thoughts of suicide but taking my own life wouldn’t be as dramatic as suddenly loosing it for absolutely no reason so I would never kill myself.I am 5 foot something and weigh around 100 something pounds.I wish I was gay so I could piss off homophobes.

I don’t like having haircuts,preachy idiots,closed-minded nitwits,Michael Bolton,authority in general,hypocrisy,dictators,cheesy commercials and obnoxious pedestrians.I like Japan,Buddhism,girls with weird eyes,freedom,vodka,running,movies that make you think,interesting music,Bob Dylan,philosophy,comic books,guitars,Megan Fox,sunglasses,Jesus and speaking in metaphors.

My favorite authors include Haruki Murakami,Neil Gaiman,Alan Moore,Albert Camus,George Orwell,Chuck Palahniuk and Anthony Burgess.

My favorite movies include anything directed by Stanley Kubrick,Manhattan,Being John Malkovich,High Fidelity,Edward Scissorhands,Donnie Darko,Fight Club,Dancer in the Dark,Lost in Translation,Almost Famous,Spirited Away,Requiem for a Dream,Pulp Fiction,Mulholland Drive,Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind,American Beauty,Amelie,I’m Not There,Into the Wild,In Bruges,The Fall,Pan’s Labyrinth,The Dark Knight and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

My favorite artists include Jeff Buckley,City and Colour,Smashing Pumpkins,The Cure,Bob Dylan,The Beatles,Stars,Arcade Fire,Sufjan Stevens,Broken Social Scene,My Bloody Valentine,David Bowie,Death Cab For Cutie,Eraserheads,Bright Eyes,Elliott Smith,Kings of Convenience,Nick Drake,Up Dharma Down,Nirvana,The Smiths,Taking Back Sunday,OutKast,Radiohead,Ang Bandang Shirley,Owl City,Taken by Cars,Hum,Failure,Iron & Wine,The Postal Service,Radioactive Sago Project,Explosions in the Sky,Musical O,Ryan Adams,Fleet Foxes,Owen,Sleepwalk Circus,Pinback,Adele,At the Drive-in,Belle and Sebastian,Weezer,Simon & Garfunkel,Tears for Fears,Pink Floyd,Los Campesinos!,Minus the Bear,Techy Romantics and Kaki King.

I think I have multiple personality disorder because I can be quiet and soft-spoken,loud and obnoxious,sweet and romantic,brutal and mean,slow and idiotic,witty and intellectual at whim.

I fall under no stereotype but I believe it would be easier if I did.

I smell like soap and wine all the time even if I don’t shower or drink.

I don’t ever brush my hair.

I’m only writing this down in case I forget who I am like Bruce Willis in 12 Monkeys.
