About Me

Occasionally I think about writing, but mostly I just write thoughts down. The only video games I enjoy were created for 12-year-old Japanese children (who play them better than I do). My preferred karaoke selections are by Guns n' Roses as the gonads-in-vice-grip screeeech is deeply cathartic. I enjoy conceptualizing bands that don't exist far more than much of the music released today, yet I can't stop adding to my already unmanageable archive. I hate cheese. The mold, not the music. I like symmetrical asymmetry, which pretty much serves as my definitive summation.

My Interests

beard maintenance, hair lossage, archiving music, film, travel (channel), food (network), audiophile (envy), eBay, vintage vs. DSP, Wi-Fi, cult comedy, vaguely self-referential criticism, procrastinating, impersonating Rivers Cuomo, stealing stolen moments, garlic, olive oil, wine, wine and mo' vine, sinking the pink ... champagne, Trappist ale, Ninja photography, collecting imaginary memories, secret hide-outs and stomping grounds...

I'd like to meet:

People who can't wait to talk about the dramatic pause. People who love searching for what's lost in translation but in the end don't really care if they can locate the right words to describe what they found. Anyone with nautical star tattoos, one above each elbow, you know, where they can't even see them, so I can ask them, 'Why?' Those who enthusiastically partake in the indulgent smell of wet ferns. And people who can recognize the first day of fall by scent.
