About Me

Hole in the wall bars, strange movies, and cafes with bad service. Sticky floors mean they love you. I am the quintessential bachelor. I love my Netflix and my motorcycle, and I believe that any excuse for sushi is a good excuse. I'm a beer drinker socially, and a wine drinker at home. I cook. I think that Steve Martins earlier works were by far his best. I know how to spell Nietzsche.

My Interests

School. Programming, lately. Hiking, biking, clubs, cheap movies after an expensive meal, jazz, swing dancing, salsa dancing, a little gaming, weekends with friends from out of town.

I'd like to meet:

If you go to Wikipedia "just to find the name of that one guy", then three hours later you find yourself wondering what strange series of clicks lead you to this article on Hoysala architecture, you should email me.

..

Music:

Electronica of most types, blues, gothic/darkwave, Good old fashioned Rock'n Roll, metal, jazz back when jazz was still experimental and an expression of ones desire for freedom and creativity while trying to exist under suffocating social norms, blue grass

Movies:

Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sin City, American Beauty, Schindler's List, The Great Escape, Requiem for a Dream, Natural Born Killers, Akira, Fight Club, Leaving Las Vegas

Television:

I have a thing for cooking reality shows. Iron Chef fascinates me.

Books:

"But how will you die when your time comes, Narcissus, since you have no mother? Without a mother, one cannot love. Without a mother, one cannot die."

-Goldmund,
Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse

Heroes:

Inside, I'm screaming. But I did it to myself.

Fun with sweeping generalizations!

Chronicles of the Paper Fish - Blocks of Ice

Mr. Fish sits motionless, shoulders slouched.  His eyes have lost focus long ago, replacing the monitor on his desk with a dimly lit block of ice, or maybe a window facing Kansas at dusk.Of cours...

Gnomes, and the girl I can never fall in love with

Or, to be more exact, the girl I cannot let myself fall in love with, for reasons that cannot be explained because doing so would reveal too much.  Funny how us silly boys can become so caught u...

Five minute poem

Meaningless rhythmic screams violate hazy sleep: "AreYouSober-AreYouSober-AreYouSober-AreYouSober.." Strobe lights through the tracks show signs of life. A play, by the vagabonds below.-Me...
