I am at my happiest when I am sitting in a park, in the sun, with a book and a friend.I am at my saddest when I wake up in the middle of the night to find both legs asleep and have to go through that terrible one minute when they come back to life in a crescendo of pins and needles.
I like art. I don't think that it will save the world or that it's the most important thing. I believe that feeding people, clothing them, and giving them shelter are all more important. But I like that art is a point of departure for a multitude of experiences: aesthetic, cultural, political, emotional.
I am not much of a "homebody." I like to make people laugh. I enjoy spending time with other people preferably in quiet bars where I can converse without going hoarse. I make eye contact and give a firm handshake. My ability to play guitar, keyboard, and drums is limited but it is enough to play along to 88 percent of songs.
I like dark beers. I have a decent falsetto voice. My baritone range is solid. I do not lift weights. I fall onto the floor in fits of laughter occasionally. I wrote a rap song once. One of my heroes is not Amelia Earheart. I don't smoke. I do not abbreviate words when I text message. Listening to music often times brings me to a state of elation. I am very disappointed with the current political climate of our United States and got very drunk and puked the night that Bush was relected. I sometimes use an umlaut on the second of two abutting vowels only because the New Yorker does this and they are my model for pretension. The dictionary is my favorite book. I favor cats over dogs although I've seen some rad dogs recently.
