i had a hampster named hammie.

About Me

i like to drink good wine and beer. trying new beers and wines is a hobby. i'm learning to cook; i wanted to be a bartender, but i hated my hands freezing when shaking. i want to improve myself, but the first habit to kick might be procrastination. or indecisiveness? there's a bunch of unfinished projects in my room that i never got around to... finishing. my eyes are bad. if i close my eyes when listening, it's not because i fell asleep, it's because my eyes were tired :)

My Interests

watching others cook for me. wine, food, beer, spirits, running, hiking, science.

I'd like to meet:

for just a bit i've lost track of friends. old, new, current, concurrent. oenophiles in the houston or orange county areas.

Music:

the mars volta, greenday, aphex twin, the doors, hawaiian music, slack key guitar, the clash, social distortion, beatles, into eternity, autolux, bjork, tool... metal, rock, prog, classical, folk, jazz, blues. and more

Television:

simpsons, 3rd watch, nova, bbc news, alton brown!

Heroes:

people who find happiness and peace
