I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i've been told i'm mysterious, guarded... which is true. i'm a bit of a control freak... a bit of a gambler... a bit of a wanderer... a bit of a troublemaker... a bit of a peace maker... a bit of a dancer. i like good music and good people... travelling... books... sleep... beaches... mtns. i don't like settling down... or sitting still... or people that lack the ability to at least appear intelligent. i like people w/out common sense a bit.. they make for a good laugh. i've had a pretty eventful life.. lived on a few different continents... been a lot of places... done a lot of things(good and bad). i'm told pretty frequently that i should write a book, and i plan on it one day. or maybe it wil go down as my own greatest book never written... and just be stories that my friends pass on.and i really dis-like creating these things... i think it would be better left to people that know me... [edit] i hate all talk, no action... i've been wearing the same pairs of pants for 7 years, i'd rather patch them than buy new ones... my hair alternates between pretty crazy/curly and long or clean and short or twice in dreadlocks... i used to be crosseyed but had surgery to fix it.. i've worn glasses continuously since i was 16... i don't have a driver's license... i hate crunchy foods... i don't like emo kids and hipsters, generally...

My Interests

music, dancing, cooking, reading, graffiti(looking not doing), art(looking and attempting, occasionally), travelling, learning, forgetting, playing in the snow, beaches and oceans, lakes and streams, mtns and valleys... umm... good people, bad people(they interest me, i guess)... non-caffeinated soda(except in my mixed drinks), vodka(i have a vodka-tooth), sweets(not chocolate)... random celebration... trees. oh.. and, i love the hustle...

I'd like to meet:

fellow travellers, music lovers and dancers... people who have something to share and show me something new...

Music:

house, tek-house, tekno, d'n'b, ambient, dub, downtempo, breaks.. generally, electronic music that doesn't suck. old punk and ska... (the clash, the ramones, fugazi, minor threat, the specials, etc, etc..)... some new stuff that i don't know what it is but i like it. old(er) rock and 'alternative'... (pink floyd, led zeppelin, bob dylan, jefferson airplane, the doors, nirvana, the violent femmes, etc, etc)... hip-hop and rap. reggae, dancehall, rocksteady. funk. artists... too many.. i forget one and it drives me crazy.

Movies:

i really like these movies, and lots more: pi, four rooms, riding giants, super troopers, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, labyrinth, high roller: the stu ungar story, rainman, saw, seven...

Television:

i like the geeky sh*t.. discovery channel, TLC, national geographic channel... Planet Earth, Galapagos, and Expedition Borneo may be the best documentaries EVER! .. and poker. i confess to some guilty pleasures: MTV, VH1, reality tv(in limited doses.. it's really just comedy, right?)

Books:

yes.. i read them. another one of those topics i don't get all specific with.. i like kesey and kerouac and burroughs... umm... sedaris... umm... camut... umm... see, i forget. Ishmael was really good. Shantaram is probably my new favorite book.. I really enjoy Electric Kool Aid Acid Test.. and cook books.

Heroes:

i'm my own damn hero.
