About Me

Everything in moderation, even moderation

Born/raised in LA and have been in NYC since Dec '04, though I've been roaming abroad a lot in recent years. I tend to be pretty reflective - I'm reasonably happy with the mileage I've put on my life up to this point, and am having a good laugh. I'm pretty good at keeping myself entertained, and am not wasteful.

I'm easy going, adventurous, and am generally a nice guy who tries to always be honest. I'm probably a bit complicated, but I try to keep it simple.

My Interests

wanderlust, inversions, sprinting, croquet in LA, island hopping, burning man, dance monsters, gargoyles, lizard watching, experimental videos, retrospectives, memorials, sorting things out.

I'd like to meet:

if you want a friend, be a friend

descriptors that don't describe much...

Words like amazing and nice really don't say much when it comes to describing people and art. Perhaps there really isn't much to say about what is being described. This is something I've been trying t...
