About Me

Anyone thinking about renting a room? Need help paying the mortgage? I can help! I'm going to be homeless in about a week and a half so if your looking for a roommate send me a message. Dexter is coming too.

My Interests

film, traveling, backpacking, reading lots of books, longboarding, indie music, electronica, taking computers apart and not really being able to put them back together, cool technology, literate TV shows, typing on my old 1957 Smith Corona typewriter, writing fiction and not fiction, chill places, old houses, libraries, surfing (only done it once), postmodernism, art, the cultural studies section of barnes & noble, funny tee shirts, architecture, the ocean, words ...and watching my dog because he does some pretty interesting stuff when he wants something.

I'd like to meet:

anyone with something interesting to say, anyone real and anyone knowledgeable in something they have a passion for. Cool people with a good head on their shoulders.
