Too young to know, too wild to care.

About Me

And I hope the following doesn't bore you, but you don't have to read this, because this is all pretty insignificant and rather trite considering what I potentially have to offer. I have dark brown hair, dark hazel eyes, a lip and nipple piercing, and one black crow tattoo located on the left shoulder. I dress fashionably and am told I have great taste in music. I like to write, create visual art, and sometimes party when I don't have work on the following day. I have excellent business etiquette while still being provocative and edgy. I am a nice guy and, I think, a good friend. Just don't take advantage of my kindness. I sleep eight hours and wake up early by default. I play music on my white iPod, in my black Volkswagen Bora, as I zip to and from restaurants, parties, raves, art shows, art museums, shows, clubs, and high-end stores around the Los Angeles area. I am almost usually down-to-earth or at least appear to be. Don't let the innocent facade fool you, I'm crazy fun. I enjoy having company and being around my friends. I'm sometimes shy despite being outgoing and extroverted. I care too much about what other people think of me. I come home to a clean apartment with minimal contemporary furniture in West LA. Materials are everything. Substance is important to me. I no longer know who I am and I feel like the ghost of a complete and total stranger.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who shares the same interests and hobbies as me. Responsible. I like those who are selfless and considerate. Must be original and unique. Clean and cares about their outward appearance. I like aggressive and down-to-earth. I dislike excessive vanity and superficiality. Someone with who I can have a deep, interesting conversation. A person willing to compromise yet still keep their integrity. I don't like people who are extremely stubborn. I prefer intelligence over looks. A supporter. A good influence. If this isn't you then I suggest you play in traffic. Version 4.3.1
