I'm really into music... no seriously... it's probably unhealthy how much it consumes me. I study music most commonly by listening to it very intently with my trusty wireless headphones or iPod. I read lyrics- I know that probably sounds odd to most of you. I study my own band with unmatched ferver. Autonomy is the best band I've ever been in, and I've very proud of what we continue to accomplish. My obsession with writing and performing has been both rewarding and damaging to my life. I've failed at many relationships due to an unwavering commitment to my craft, and the other person's inability to let me pursue it to the extreme level that I require in order to live with myself. I also really enjoy sculpting and digital design, but I don't have as much time for those pursuits as I'd like.
I don't like talking too much about my personal life, but I will say a little... My wife & soulmate, Poppy, is very supportive, open-minded, and beautiful on many different levels. We've been together for ages and I can't imagine life without her. Poppy is a fantastic photographer, a great cook, and shares my love of animals. She also holds the distinction of being the first person I've been in a relationship with who understands what my music means to me- that's huge.
I have a pet bird named Sky, named so because he was a rescue bird that just kinda appeared out of the sky one day (and Senegals aren't native to Minnesota). I consider him to be a kindred spirit. I also live with (and under the jurisdiction of) a crotchity old rescue bird named Rudy (Quaker Parrot), a playful spoiled brat named Peeky (hand-raised Senegal Parrot), and a chihuahua named Eddie who sleeps constantly. Rescue animals rule- consider one for your next pet!
I consider myself open-minded, level-headed, calm, supportive, and kind to those I consider friends. I have a bit of a dark side, but those who find themselves in my good graces have nothing to worry about. Friends know that I am loyal, and my enemies know that I am relentless. I can hold a grudge forever, and I believe that revenge is a dish best served cold. This flipside to that is I never forget a favor or kindness someone bestows upon me. I have a lot of liberal leanings but I don't consider myself liberal or conservative politically. The truth lies somewhere in the middle and balance is the key to understanding in all things. That being said I love to play devil's advocate in a debate, conversation, or argument. I strongly dislike people who are judgemental, controlling, rude, or intolerant. Life is too short to limit one's experiences.
Alas, I've said too much.
