About Me

You have been marked on my profile map!
I'm about that stuff over to the side...

My Interests

Wandering around towns, street festivals, train trips, road trips, rooftop bars, vexology, reading, floating on the ocean, music (listen/play/write), Quiz Night, maps, cities, the country, very little in between the city and country, running, running naked, outdoor adventure, concert posters, Craftsman Bungalows, Philly sports teams, eating/making wierd food, etc.

I'd like to meet:

Someone with a boat.

Music:

Stuff I got at the Stax Museum. Stuff I get at the Smithsonian Folklife Festivals. Britpop Phases 1-3. Elephant6 Phases 1-2. Hank Williamses Numbers 1 and 3. Often Dischord, Matador, and Flying Nun. Stuff I hear on WPRB. Stuff I read about that claims to sound like other stuff I like. Stuff.

Movies:

"UnReal" is the bestest because of the music during the lifeguard's date montage. You can get it at Blockbuster.

Television:

News, Jeopardy, History Channel.

Books:

If I didn't like reading so much (and keeping all my best books) then this habit of moving every year would be so much easier. I will say that I am growing quite a nice library in here. Come on by and borrow one if you like. No late fees.

Heroes:

Pelicans.

Philadelphia

I just liked this excerpt from blog "Ryan Reads The News," and wanted to share it with anyone who loves the underdog or has been told that they are not good enough at something. "The City of Brother...

EasyLover + DeerHunter + GrapeNuts = Conspiracy

I just happen to be in a happy mood while checking MySpace...so for once I will enter a happy blog. The reason? No real reason. Although, I did just realize something amazing...Did you ever wonder how...

Literally

I haven't felt like writing a blog in a while. Blogs started to seem very self-serving. The great political scholar Joe DeSantis has done volumes of research on the power of blogging to influence elec...

I do not vomit in this blog

MySpace, I must admit you are not the addiction you once were. OK, well you would be, but I got in trouble at work one too many times. I believe they actually said "once is too many times." ...

Holy Shiv, Underwater Moonlight !

My mobile phone has been hijacked by the religious right! It is true. Text messaging has some kind of decency filter in the autotype mode. I can't joke with a friend that I'm going to send strippers t...
