My Interests

Swimming, scuba diving, meaningful conversations, reading, making talking about and looking at art, netflix and good films at the theater, sexuality, good food, interesting and sincere people, building up and then paring down my record collection, art books, cities, thrifting, long meandering walks around cities, finding a balance between being highly motivated, driven and slacking, smoke-free bars, erradicating the planet of boring people.

I'd like to meet:

Smart people who let their inner geek shine while maintaining some degree of a cultural clue. People with integrity who like to cause trouble and talk about about inappropriate things. People who read books, look at art and have stellar taste in music are also good. People in Ulsan, S. Korea!

Television:

Only on DVD: Freeks and Geeks, The Avengers, The Prisoner, The Muppet Show, Flight of the Conchords, Mad Men

Books:

Books that either a) conjure something or places I've not experienced and make them real to me or b) books that remind me of the humor, friendships, pain, love, anger and madness that I've found and/or lost. c) photography books d) books that, in their sum, will make me a super-brain

My Blog

time to nest

I'm hopefully done traveling for awhile. When I start to get that itch to take off, someone just needs to feed me (most likely). I have to remember that I'm trying to save to buy a house.
