what's the point?

About Me

I love music. I love to listen to it, write it, play it (guitar, bass, drums, piano, vocals), record it (that's what i went to school for)... I try to be genuine in everything I say or do. I live 99.9% of my life with a smile on my face. My favorite number is 67, because a six just looks good next to a seven. Aside from that, I guess other people would give more fair opinions about my character than I could... free myspace custom layouts, games, toys.

My Interests

Music - listening to and making it, movies, bowling, billiards, soccer, hikes, nature, friends, beers, martinis, kissing, dancing, minigolf, drive-ins, sweaters, sudoku, extra sharp cheddar cheese, eggwhites, diners, dominoes, scrabble, wine, ropeswings, art, technology, cities, scooters, driving, wii-ing, countrysides, laughing well beyond the point that it hurts your face, lying on my roof and staring at the stars, fall - specifically october a.k.a. the greatest month to be alive!

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who rocks, or rolls... But preferably rocks.And people with scooters who want to cruise the streets of Hartford with me!

Music:

I enjoy anything that is well written/performed, or recorded well. My tastes lie all over the map, but some of my favorites include:Radiohead, Bjork, Ben Folds, Elliott Smith, Cake, Beck, Superdrag, Blur, Jimmy Eat World, Imogen Heap, AIR, Gorillaz, NIN, The Velvet Underground, Belle and Sebastian, Sondre Lerche, The Shins, Mates Of State, The Eels, Weezer, Rooney, Hot Hot Heat, Fiona Apple, Rufus Wainwright, Pinback, Death Cab For Cutie, The Postal Service, The Strokes, Ben Kweller, Sean Lennon, Josh Rouse, Bright Eyes, The Decemberists, Blonde Redhead, Mars Volta, The Starlight Mints, Modest Mouse, Neutral Milk Hotel, Franz Ferdinand, OK GO, Muse, Foo Fighters, Jamiroquai, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Travis, 311, Stereolab, Jon Brion, Iron and Wine, Jenny Lewis, Rilo Kiley, St. Vincent, Amy Winehouse, Andrew Bird, Apples In Stereo, Heatmiser, John Scoffield, Medeski Martin and Wood, Nick Drake, Elvis Costello, David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Beach Boys, Queen, The Kinks, The Temptations, The Beatles.

Don't watch that much, but when I do it's likely Scrubs, THe Office, The Wonder Years, CSI, Late Night with Conan O'Brian, or the best show ever - LOST.
