About Me


Check out my bands:
Sunshine For the Blind
The Shabelles !
The Bloody Awful

I speak Hebrew fluently, so, im ata medaber Ivrit, nedaber beyahad!

My Interests

Things I like to do: Playing live, drumming left handed, rockin' out, peeing in the shower, disagreeing, dancing my ass off, seeing local bands, making playlists, recording, snowboarding at incredible speeds, talking to strangers, planning things out, designing posters, winning euchre tournaments, driving boats, embarrassing Vince, kicking your ass at roller hockey, eating til it hurts, asking questions. I like punctuation, especially periods.

Things I dislike: Guitar solos. Numbers. "Jamming". Bowling. Haterz. John Grisham. NASCAR. Hunting. Littering.

Incompletes: I have a 12 string guitar with 9 strings. I have filtered water, but no glasses. I have 60 Bic lighters, but I don't smoke. I am running on 2/3 of my brainpower and I'm probably still one up on you.

Beliefs: I am a believer. I believe in myself. I understand my capabilities and outsource when necessary. I believe in organization and order. I believe in romance, but not the flowers and candy kind of romance. The electric kind of romance. I am a pessimistic optimist, not an optimistic pessimist. Maybe I'm an optimistic realist.

Materialism: I don't own many things. I think used is better than new. I love computers and the paper they have eliminated. I love to borrow, and I am good about returning. I am a modern minimalist.

Goals for the Near Future: Grad school.

PS- please don't make me pay more than $5 to see your band. I am Jewish.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who wants to create an endless loop and get stuck in it together.

Music:

I am a lover of both the raw and the polished music. Basically, I like to rock out and I love riffs. That said, the list: Cure, Mars Volta, Hum, Hot Snakes, Muse, Firetheft, Death Cab For Cutie, Coheed and Cambria, Flaming Lips, Weakerthans, Neutral Milk Hotel, Dandy Warhols, Weezer, Thought Industry, Electric Six, Teenage Fanclub, John Legend, Beach Boys, Built to Spill, Arcade Fire, Dr. Dre, Fantomas, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Thistle, System and Station, Beatles.

Movies:

I have sworn off movies in the theater. I will change my mind for NO ONE, they give me hangovers. And I've been adhering to my latest rule of watching only documentaries. I do still have some favorites: Me And You And Everyone We know, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich, The Usual Suspects, Memento, Donnie Darko, Rushmore, Zoolander, Amelie, Royal Tenenbaums, Reservoir Dogs, American Beauty, Fight Club, Jackie Brown, Magnolia, Office Space

Television:

Family Guy!

Books:

Currently reading: Perfume. I read mostly fiction. The last nonfiction book I read was The Tipping Point. Otherwise; American Gods, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Catcher in the Rye, Life of Pi, The Giver, Kite Runner, My Sister's Keeper, A Million Little Pieces, Running With Scissors, The Chocolate War, The Great Gatsby, If On A Winter's Night A Traveler.

Heroes:

Dave Grohl

Is it a lot to ask...

...for someone to pull me behind their four-wheel drive vehicle on my snowboard?  We have 10 inches of snow and I am a fucking professional.
