You know that feeling you get when you lean too far back in your chair?
Like... right before you actually fall...
That's me.

My Interests

I love seeing life as art. Probably my biggest passion in life is music. I like making people happy. I'm learning more and more to appreciate open-minded people. I like (and miss) having friends. I like Macintosh computers a lot too. They make the coolest stuff! I like to drive fast but safe. I like sandwiches. I like making a good latte. I like being warm when it's cold out, and being cool when it's really hot.

I'd like to meet:

Someone with time to kill, armed with nothing but sharp wit.

Music:

Radiohead, Ida, Neil Halstead, Beck, Kinky, Nick Drake, Badly Drawn Boy, America, Sparklehorse, The Carpenters, Belle & Sebastian, The Beatles, Bright Eyes, The Flaming Lips, Dylan, Ida, Low, Modest Mouse, (are you seriously still reading this list?) Sunny Day Real Estate, Richard Buckner, Echo Location, Interpol, Leonard Cohen, Iron and Wine, Kings of Convenience, The Engineers, Pinback, to mention some of the absolute favorites.

Movies:

Movies that don't suck ass are generally good. Some cool one's I've enjoyed lately: Pieces of April, the Station Agent, American Beauty, Deliverance, Adaptation, Ghost World, Luther, Igby Goes Down, Lost In Translation, and the whole LOTR thing really got me.

Television:

Shut off your television for 3 weeks. When you turn it back on, everythign will seem irrelevant, and a shallow and obvious attempt to sell something.

Heroes:

Anyone willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

Do the right thing

I'm so sick of people telling me to just do the right thing and everything will be okay. I think that doing the right thing so things will be good for you is such crap, and oftentimes leads to resentm...

Breaking and Entering

I'm in my room, and my 7 year old son is practicing breaking into my room with a credit card. Maybe I SHOULD just let him play video games all day.

Red Flags

So I discovered today that I have issues with people that have to tell me they are "quirky" or "strange" or "eccentric"... like it's a compliment to their personality.
