It makes no sense to me unless I seen it on tv. - Kevin Moore

About Me

My main interest is keeping my mind busy. whatever that means at the time. I am frequently reading or listening to music. I have a short attention span for movies, but I like a select few. I like to travel and plan on it more often in the future.
I don't own a tv. I've found I'm happier and accomplish more not having one. I'm a minimalist. I don't see the point in having much furniture or many possessions. It's just baggage to me. I don't like baggage. People have too much baggage.
I give a more accurate third impression than first or second. I'm confident yet humble. Sometimes shaky around people. I'm not quiet or shy, really. But I tend to observe people for a while before I show them who I really am. Or I come across as friendly, talkative and outgoing immediately. It all depends. I don't see anything off limits for discussion, and I challenge people to prove me wrong at times. I try to view each human interaction as a potential learning experience and am always willing to accept other viewpoints. I'm very mature in some ways, yet also very immature in others. It all depends on your outlook really.
I take a while to get to know. My personality is a dichotomy, yet I understand myself and other people very well. I am very brunt and logical in thinking, yet can sometimes be difficult to understand. I have a roundabout way of thinking that takes some getting used to. There is surely no one else anything like me. or at least that's what a best selling self help book would say. If you are conservative and easily offended, you will hate me. git r dun.

My Interests

music, the thoughts which occupy my brain, caring about myself and other people, meeting people who are the type of people I'd like to meet.
Comedians: David Cross, Demetri Martin, Zach Galifianakis, Sarah Silverman, Todd Barry, Bill Hicks, Patton Oswalt, Greg Giraldo, Morgan Murphy

I'd like to meet:

People who don't fit into any category of person
People who are visibly imperfect
people who are understanding and compassionate
People who care about other living beings
People who get very dry sarcasm and can appreciate it
People who judge others based on the qualities they demonstrate
People who are like me, yet not like me

Music:

jazz, experimental, some classical, rock, etc. Just ask. I go to alot of local shows and try to see anything interesting coming through omaha. I'm really into smaller bands of 5-8 members that sound like they have 2-3 times as many members. I also enjoy the addition of classical instruments into rock music. and minimalist electronic or singer songwriter music, as well as avant garde free form chaos

Movies:

some comedies, some drama. I hate action movies. I like movies that are driven by the story and/or characters. People can just be sitting around in the same room talking the whole movie and I may think it's wonderful. It all depends. I really like the movie Pi not just because it's "cool", but because the main character reminds me a bit of myself.

Television:

Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, TV Funhouse, Mr. Show, Sealab 2021, Stella, Tom Goes to the Mayor, Wonder Showzen

Books:

Palahaniuk, Orwell, Huxley, Sedaris, Vonnegut

Heroes:

People who do what they love regardless of success or what others think of it. as long as it doesnt harm others or the environment, of course. Well, that's impossible as the world is set up. So just git r dun and do whatever until it's time for it to end.
