My Interests

Anti-protesting, not taking lame webcam pics of me or my genitals/assets. Arts, photography, and all that other crap that makes a 20 something year old feel cultured or above the kids he grew up with in a white suburb of Chicago. Reading, thats makin it's way up. I would say writing, but I think the majority fo people say theyre into it and it just means they need to bleed all over some paper because they dont want to talk to someone else about certian things, because thats the only writing I do. Like politics sometimes, otherwise if I'm too in to them it makes me sick. Movies, big movie fan, anything like rtb or life aquatic is good, lock stock and 2 smoking barrels, trainspotting is ..1 still, etc.

I'd like to meet:

peeps, industry contacts, potential clients, etc

Music:

alkaline trio, ben folds, clint mansel, beethoven, bob dylan, the faint, rainer maria, boards of canada, billy joel, DP, JEW, joy division, skynyrd, Eagles, neutral milk hotel, r kelly, dmx, remy shand, skys the limit, for all the drifters, mondays hero, portishead, pram, bj, beck, bjork, etc, etc, etc.

Movies:

requiem for a dream, trainspotting, snatch, royal tennenbaums, you get the idea

Television:

family guy, simpsons, the rebel billionaire(fuggers crwazy), most of the stuff on wttw chicago, anything national geographic(how i miss cable), etc

Books:

Last good book i read was Naked by David Sedaris, very good stuff. I'm reading a ton on advertising, history of design, diffusion of products, etc.

Heroes:

those of monday.
