music from indierock to freejazz to country and most points in between (barring Dancehall, reggaeton, nu-metal, screamo and Salsa), reading and writing (feel free to judge my written works here: http://chickenwaffles.blogspot.com ), coffee, movies with more talking and sex than killing and maiming, stand-up (or sit-down) comedy, playing my own music and recording it, long drives down winding roads to unknown destinations, mixtapes/mix cds to listen to for those drives, hanging out with my friends, being a media mogul and going to rock shows when my work schedule allows it.
Women who were raised by wolves, but don't run with them because they'd rather stay home and watch "30 Rock."

I am pretty friendly in most instances and don't mind conversing with new people, but I'd prefer to be messaged before you try adding me if I don't know you at all. And as for bands, I give up. Seriously. If you send me a cool message, maybe I'll consider it. However, if you like music a lot, go to http://www.myspace.com/esche -- that is the profile for my record label. It rocks.
this week, I'm obsessed with: The Thermals, Okkervil River, The Hold Steady, The Mountain Goats, Trashed On Fiction, The Lord Humongous, Joe Pernice, etc.

"Maybe there is some kind of animal that we can make a sacrifice to, like a giant buffalo or some sort of monster with the body of a walrus and the head of a sea lion, or something with the body of an egret and the head of a meerkat, or just the head of a monkey with the antlers of a reindeer with the body of a ... porcupine." - Michael Scott
