About Me

singer/guitarist for the public.. dj with actionactionreaction.. rocket scientist in training at nasa in new orleans east (we build the fuel tank for the shuttle there).. in a love/hate relationship with the human race.. transfixed by video arcades.. love both greek food and rollercoasters, but not simultaneously.. really bad (albeit enthusiastic) dancer.. nervously verbose.. oftentimes a victim of my own horrible judgement.. obsessed with crypto zoology and ufos.. strangely dependant on ellipsis (sometimes... one period just.. isn't... enough for me).. used to climb fir trees and refuse to come down for hours.. my first car was a black 1964 mercury comet caliente.. love the beach at night.. hate hate hate oklahoma and oklahoman airports.. can do a passable christopher walken impression but these days, who can't? (i mean Who!!... ..*can't*).. enjoy the smell of elmer's glue.. have a weird tolerance for driving long distances.. read alot.. never really feel comfortable in malls.. was the weirdo kid in the bauhaus shirt and b&w stripey stockings who played high school football.. have a strange compassion for inanimate objects.. once won a spelling bee in elementary school.. keep my old shoes because i feel sorry for them.. the largest animal i ever killed was an coyote (it ran into my car! i didn't do it on purpose!)2nd runner up, an owl.. sometimes very very indecisive, sometimes so headstrong and bold it hurts.. suffer from narcoleptic insomnia (that's actually not true, i made that up).. unintentionally sound like christian slater when I'm pissed (which makes me more pissed and hence, more slaterish hence more pissed etc etc).. i like bats, they're like little ugly bears with wings!.. it's really hard to make me lose my temper, but when i do it scares the hell out of me.. sometimes cry at movies (the iron giant! c'mon it was sad! "suuuperman...." huh? right? no? heh).. am drawn to the peace of the pacific northwest.. uncomfortable on boats, they just seem so wobbly (i'm getting better about that one).. i like to doodle and draw pictures.. my grandmother was a welder during WW2.. i always look for the beauty in art, but mostly just end up talking about the faults i find.. rush through museums (i want to see *everything!).. write incomprehensible notes on my left hand, so I won't forget important things like "get pants".. love meeting new people with stories and can carry on a conversation with most anyone.. i find the romance of the idea of intercontinental travel far more fulfilling than the reality.. kinda sorta ADD at times (what were we talking about?).. hate the aftertaste of doritos, but can't fight their allure.. when i sit still for too long my leg starts doing that annoying bouncy thing.. self conscious about writing about myself, but did it for a while anyway

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

art gallerinas, caterpillionaires, baristocrats, celebutards, loud dancers, quiet singers, quadripalegic acrobats, all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people, and all the nobody people, and all the somebody people, I never thought I'd need so many people people, anyone who gets that last reference, loveable eccentric quirky types with interesting backstories, thinking people, martians, musicians, musician martians, and other rocket scientist musicians who want to start a band IN SPACE!!!

Thats Pretty Underground
