About Me

I’m Jeff. I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area, but currently live in Boston. I want to be a rock-star. Who doesn’t? I enjoy long walks on the beach, followed by Jack on the rocks. I have recently fallen in love with photography-I decided that if music was going to be my career, I needed a new hobby. I don’t read much but I wish I did. I am a horific speller. I wish I had a huge vocabulary-I don’t. I have dreams of my punctuation being correct, but alas, I’m sure it’s not. I love to watch the world roll by through the eyes of a train. I believe in love, but it terrifies me. I tend to live in the past, and take the present for granted, always wanting what I had, but never appreciating it at the time. I’m working on that. I love hookah. I hate trends, but I love style. I live for myself, but dread the day when I realize I’m no longer living for myself because I want to, but rather because there is no-one else to live for. I hate the idea of settling, almost as much as I hate the idea of never settling down. I love being able to escape to an oasis of solitude, and I love being able to return. I want to spend this coming summer in Africa teaching and building houses. I believe in believing in yourself. If I could have any superpower, I would stop time, though I would probably abuse it. I want a ¼ sleeve of Odysseus tattooed on my right shoulder, and an eyebrow ring on my left side, but no-one seems to like the ring except for me, and I don’t like the barbell. I love going to a record store and perusing the aisles, mingling with all of my friends who have seen me through so much of my life. I think that’s why music is great for me, because of what it sees you through, how it’s always there when you need it, and if you ever feel like listening, it definitely has something to say. I love Dali, and Escher, and Frost. Adjectives are better than Nouns. I am a singer/songwriter, and a guitar player. I play in an acoustic duo that Jeni and I have deemed; “The Polaroid Truth”, and am really enjoying the music we make. I feel like there are lots of problems with the world we live in, but often find that I don’t know what to do to help. I’m working on that too, but I digress..
