Well, they say, like, humming,

they say humming is

like internal massage.

So, say if you're anxious or

nervous or something like that.

So, if you just.

So, what brings you into town?

Are you a native or...

I'm an artist,

- Oh, cool.

- - I'm here doing

a residency at Chinati, so.

Very nice.

I just get to hang out.

So, are you a

painter? Is that...

I've been doing a lot

of drawing, a lot of painting.

Okay, so what kind

of portraits do you do?

Um, well, actually

I've been doing nudes.

Oh, okay, cool.

Yeah, since coming out

here I guess the landscape

kind of inspired me

to strip things down

and just get, you know,

the bare essentials.

I find it more beautiful,

less distracting.

No, that's

awesome, I'd be actually really

interested in checking out

your stuff, that'd be cool.

Well, I'm sure you'd

make an excellent model.

Oh, well, thanks, I don't know

what makes a good nude model,

but, yeah, I'd love to come

and check out the

studio sometime.

- That's be great.

- - Yeah.

That would be amazing,

it's actually just

a short walk that

way, we could go...

Really?

Yeah, we could just

walk over there later.

Okay.

I still beat you.

Hold still, I'll beat you soon.

I mean, I don't

see it, I dream it.

I dream of that.

Ladies and gentlemen, for their

first show, The Marfabaters!

Hey.

Hey, there, Smiles.

Hi.

Thank you, buckle

up, it's gonna be a fun ride.

Did you date much

in high school?

No, not at all, I

had three brothers.

They didn't let me do anything.

It was actually really

awful, you know.

To have someone,

like, protect you that

much and be so overprotective.

Mm-hmm.

I didn't have any experiences,

any fun, dates, no boyfriends.

You know how when you

get to be a cheerleader

football players get

to come talk to you?

Mm-mm, that

did not happen at all.

If someone came

within an inch of me,

it was ridiculous, they

would, like, pounce.

What would they do to me?

They would interrogate

you, ask you where

you're from, who you

know, about your family,

what you want, why

you asked me out.

I actually missed

my sophomore prom.

Yeah, this guy was asking

me to prom, super sweet,

and one of my brothers, he

just threatens to beat him up.

And, of course,

the guy freaks out

and I stay at home

on prom night.

Yeah, it was bad, I can't

even tell you how many times,

how many times I missed

out on a fun date

or hanging out with

a fun guy, you know.

Poor little Angie, I

never had a date.

You do now.

I do now, with someone

who's really nice.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I forgot my wallet,

think we can stop by

my house for a sec?

Um, sure, just to run in?

Yeah.

Okay.

And to show you something, too.

What's that?

You'll see.

Okay.

So, where are your brothers now?

They're around,

I don't really talk

to 'em much, you know,

I'm an adult now.

I like your style, well, this

is my living room, a big TV.

Hmm.

Come here.

Su casa mi Tom.

Decorated myself.

I can tell.

Yeah?

Yeah.

It's my targets.

Right.

Yeah.

Um, so, where we gonna go eat?

I'm not gonna

take you out to eat,

I just wanna f*** ya.

Mm.

Um, holographic sound

or toning, vocal toning.

A high vibrational

sound, I've always been

a singer my entire life,

but in my work just

intuitively started

using sound in order

to help someone move

blocked energy in their body,

but using sound

to move it through.

Or to bring those

things to the surface,

those emotions to the surface.

Calling forth for clearing

all original thought patterns,

belief systems, roots,

any and all systems.

Past or present life

trauma or experience

contributing to any imbalance,

disharmony in your body.

Setting the intention

that any information that

needs to come to consciousness

for further clearing,

transformation or

transmutation of energy that

does not serve your

physical, emotional,

mental, spiritual

and energetic bodies.

That is happening right now.

Whoa.

Why are you laughing?

Remember that one time?

Mm.

Nothing.

What?

Nothing.

One more time.

Nothing.

We're sleeping.

I always enjoyed

living on extremes,

from one extreme to another.

You know, this one time I

was wasted at this hotel

party in San Antonio and

it was 4:
00 in the morning

and my buddies were

hanging out in south Austin

and I was like, "You know

what, I'm just gonna go,

"but if I don't get

a move on I'm gonna

"miss the party that's

going on over there."

So, I was like, "You know

what, the best idea is

"to do in this situation would

be to get on the motorcycle

"and get to Austin

as soon as possible."

So, that's what I did

and I got to Austin

in 25 minutes from

downtown San Antonio.

That's insane.

It is, it is, and I thought

it was the best idea ever,

just hauling 200

miles an hour down 35.

It got to the point where

I was just passing cops

on the freeway and

I would see in the

rear-view mirror they'd

turn on their lights

and, you know, maybe

start to pursue and then

after, I don't

know, 10, 15 seconds

they would just turn

their lights off.

It was like, well,

there's a black bike

just shooting down in

the middle of the night.

I mean, by the time

they knew what the f***,

you know, I was in

the next county.

I like that actually, when

you're going that fast,

as far in front of

you as you can see,

that's immediately

what's in front of you.

Mm-hmm.

You know and so, there's

no processing anything,

there's no looking

from side to side.

It's just you on this,

like, really fast horse.

I don't know, I mean it's

just kinda more of the same,

but I haven't written

words to it yet, so.

It was very pretty.

Oh, thanks.

It was kinda sad.

I don't know, what kind

of lines do you like?

Long skinny ones,

short fat ones,

big ones, small ones...

Um...

Medium.

Medium skinny, please.

Medium skinny, alright.

Okay, Rodrigo, enough

with all of the philosophy.

Listen, I'm not judging

you, I like you,

that's why you're here.

Why are you here?

Are we gonna f*** or not?

Are we gonna f***? No.

Whoa, what are you doing here?

Calm down, I just need to pee.

How's it going?

Good.

How was your night last night?

Uh, it was alright,.

That's crazy.

I got with Rodrigo.

After the barbecue we just went

back and had a nice time.

What'd you do?

Oh, I just hung out

with Inez a little bit.

Yeah, she your girlfriend now?

Uh, yeah, you can say that.

That's cool.

I'm gonna go to

the studio later.

Will you walk with me?

Uh, sure, I told

Inez that I would

go over today, her

dad's mad at her,

she didn't get home until

three in the morning...

Oh.

Last night, even though my mom

told her mom it'd be okay.

Her dad doesn't like it.

He's always bitching about it.

Yeah, hey, gimme some soap.

Thank you.

When I was growing up

my dad was a hippie.

He came out of a generation that

truly believed in free love.

So, instead of telling

my not to have sex

he encouraged me to have sex,

he encouraged me to f*** as
