What does Joe know?

Through the Looking Glass

About Me

I am the little drummer boy to the beat of my own drum. I am also someone who chooses to continually expand the parameters of who I am, and the expression of self.People who dont know me all that well generally tend to get an incorrect impression of who I am, or what I am about. This is due to many factors, including their assumptions about me based on the settings, the way I look, or often times other situational circumstances. A good way to get to know me is by way of conversation - though I have been told I definitely have my own unique way of expressing myself, so be prepared to interact.There are some things I wont compromise, simply because my idealism hasn't yet completely succumbed to the vices of the world. There are many things I think very logically/analytically about, however there are other things I do that are motivated by passion, feeling, or adventure.I am a very loyal person to those whom I choose to befriend. I can sometimes come off as a bit distanced, but that is because I also place great value my individualism, and choose to have times of self-involvement and reflection.I am a lot like a rubicks-cube: It might take you a long time to figure me out, but once you do, I am easy as pi.

My Interests

Word-play, cinema, lounging, partying, nerd-humor, good novels, sci-fi, cartoon network, food network, my 50th anniversary strat, digital music composition, wayward photography, writing verse, cooking/baking, home furnishing/decoration, fashion, vehicular car modification & tuning, theater, dance, outdoors, sports, snowboarding! list goes on...(enjoy life)

I'd like to meet:

People who love desserts as much as I do! Especially cheesecake! Yum!People with intelligence and can provide conversational reparte laced with wit and quirky humor are always welcomed.People who can prove to me life is not a fruitless endeavor and otherwise general exercise in frustration and futility.People who are not so stepped in cynicism as to preclude themselves from simply enjoying that which is meant to be enjoyed.People with a pulse. Honesty. Sincerity. Integrity. True open-mindedness. People with passion for life. Creativity and feeling. Observation and contemplation. Emote and exemplify. Freestyle expression. Random nuance.Anyone that can make me BELIEVE.

Music:

I enjoy almost all types of music. Feel-good pop, new-wave, bangin' house, dream trance, trip-hop, breakbeat, drum and bass, ballads, jazz, some classical, alternative, j-pop/k-pop, ambient, easy listening / 80's cheese, hip-hop, oldies, even a little metal. Different music for different moods!

Movies:

Memento, austin powers, dark city, clerks, gattaca, edward scissorhands, beetlejuice, the illusionist, eternal sunshine, pi, too many to name, as long as it is engaging or tells a good story. I also like the surrealist type that transport you to a different time/place.

Television:

24, smallville, family guy, american dad, futurama, iron chef, whose line is iT, mst3k, robot chicken, quirky-quacky semi-tacky

Books:

Any literature that is engaging and can either thrill or appeal to my intellect or sense of adventure. If you know what GEB is, we should have a conversation...

Heroes:

Dont really have one right now. But it could be you. If you saved my life. Or made me laugh milk through my nose.

what if God was really just an amorphous blob of unfeeling matter that merely dictated without jurisprudence or discretion the chain of events within the universe?
