let's plan the future!

About Me

i used to hate dave eggers. and then i read this:
"I do not get along with people who say no. When you die, and it really could be this afternoon, you will not be happy about having said no. You will be kicking your ass about all the no's you've said. No to that opportunity, or no to that trip to Nova Scotia or no to that night out, or no to that project or no to that person who wants to be naked with you but you worry about what your friends will say....No is for wimps. No is for pussies. No is to live small and embittered, cherishing the opportunities you missed because they might have sent the wrong message..."

also, i like these things:
Kelly's photos
Sarah's blog
Joey's entire output

also, i am often tired.

My Interests

robots, monsters, mischief, music, photos, writing, coffee, bikes, books, handstands, brownies, mix tapes, exclamation points, sleep, the postal service, the thermals, the go! team, les savy fav, pinback, wolf parade, dance parties, ice cream, stories, travel, autonomy, adventure, and the future.

and then there are the pictures...

I'd like to meet:

maybe you. we'll see. if you can facilitate more time for napping, then yes. definitely.

whoever sent this awesomeness in to post secret :

i think we may have some things in common.

Music:

i'm totally having the thermals babies. and when i do, i will give them tiny guitars and bass guitars and drums and raise them on a steady diet of the records of my disappointingly well-spent youth and i will encourage them to smash everything in sight until their world is completely demolished and then build it up again from the scraps to tear it down once more and never ever stop and they will be like a little punk-rock partridge family and it will be awesome...

Movies:

rushmore. donnie darko. raiders of the lost ark. repo man. eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. bring it on. the mummy.

Television:

flight of the conchords. the daily show. the office. catching up on veronica mars and entourage on dvd.

Books:

malcolm gladwell. david sedaris. diane vadino. elizabeth crane. kelly link. chuck klosterman. high fidelity. when the messenger is hot. the adventures of kavalier and clay. the virgin suicides. vanity fair. fight club. slaughterhouse five. candide. alice in wonderland. where the wild things are.

Heroes:

robots. pirates. robotic pirates. Godzilla. and the first one in the pool.
