About Me

I'm a general IT dork, musician, mostly-vegetarian and photographer wanna-be. I also brew my own beer. I'm presently studying Computer Graphics at IUS on a very part-time basis, with the intention of studying fine arts as well.

My Interests

photography, bass, coffee, beer, ducatis, the outdoors, general obscura

I'd like to meet:

Musicians and other instable types, anyone willing to watch bizarre movies or listen to different music, coffee drinkers, fellow artists, people who like to mess with the public's collective head in a harmless fashion.

Music:

Bloc Party, Interpol, Radiohead, The Cure, Dead can Dance, Sigur Ros, Morphine, Death from Above 1979, Lush, Editors, Pinback, Smiths, Smashing Pumpkins, Johnny Cash, Miles Davis, so much more. There's not much I don't listen to, and I could fill up the whole page. Don't much care for modern country, but Cash was and always will be awesome.

Movies:

Amelie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Fight Club, Run Lola Run, Army of Darkness, Groundhog Day, Batman, Batman Begins, Wet Hot American Summer, Donnie Darko, Terminator 2, Office Space, many more.

Television:

Dead Like Me, Arrested Development, Harvey Birdman, Aqua Teen huger Force, Sealab 2021, Daily Show, House, Metalocalypse, The Office

Books:
