I could show you the light, except the batteries died.

About Me

People say I'm awesome...but very few, and I've not met them, nor has anyone told me that they are really out there. Okay, I'm not sure what people say about me, but I'd like to think they say I'm awesome. They probably don't. Let's pretend, for my own mental well being that I'm relatively close to awesome. In all reality I'm pretty good at a lot of things, horrible at a few, and great at nothing.

My Interests

music, drawing, comedy, dogs, coffee, food, cooking, moving papers around, writing lists.

I'd like to meet:

WA

Music:

Avett Brothers, Bartlebees, Califone, Depeche Mode, Elvis Costello, Fruit Bats, Grandaddy, Husker Du, I'm From Barcelona, Jens Lekman, Klaxons, Langhorne Slim, Morrisey, Neutral Milk Hotel, Of Montreal, Pixies, Q and Not U, Roy Orbison, Sondre Lerche, Tilly and the Wall, Uncle Tupelo, Velocity Girl, Whiskeytown, Xui Xui, (accepting applications for Y and Z)

Movies:

Annie Hall

Television:

The Office, Scrubs...those are really the only two shows I like.

Books:

I'm currently re-reading The Tipping Point, I really enjoy it. I also like self help books, books on Taoism, I'd suggest The Tao of Abundance by Laurence G. Boldt, it'll change your life.

Apathy, not Freedom, is why people hate us

I watched "September 11" a collection of 11 minute shorts about 9/11. All the directors/writers were from different parts of the world. It was very interesting, specifically, the one from Egypt. Al...

Even Hard, it's smaller than yours

the state of my life

Seems as things have taken a turn towards the strange. See, I'm working a lot, so when I'm not working I'm either tired, lazy, or just don't want to drive anywhere, and work is also never more than a ...
