About Me

My Interests

Drums. Thinking. Music. Cinema. Travel. Nature. Politics. History. Mindless trivia.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who believes in peeling away the superficial surface to get at what lies underneath. Anyone who chooses real emotion over ironic detachment. Anyone who believes kindness is not an indulgence or a tool for controlling others. Anyone who stares off into the darkness and wonders if anybody is staring back. Anyone who sees music as more than wallpaper or a pleasant background noise. Anyone who'd never sacrafice another person's dignity for entertainment value. Oh, and people who can laugh at themselves. (Does that clash with the previous humorless litany?)
