About Me

Lawyer, musician, etc.

My Interests

Guitar, music composition, world travel, reading, movies, hanging out, meeting new people, learning new skills, and trying new things.

I'd like to meet:

Insanity

Music:

When I’m hanging out at home, I like chill music. Sneaker Pimps, Ours, Sigur Ros, Massive Attack, and Tool. When I’m driving, I like something more upbeat – some good rock or even some metal usually does the trick. In Flames, Depeche Mode, Faith No More, Guano Apes, Muse, Tenacious D, G.U. Medicine, Mew, The Killers, My Ruin, Rammstein, and Unearth. When I’m sitting in traffic, I’m all about a good audiobook to take my mind off the numbing drive, and the guy who keeps changing lanes to move ahead more quickly, even though he can only really get about seven cars ahead of me.

Movies:

True Romance is my favorite movie. A classic storybook romance conceived as only Quentin Tarantino could. I also love anything by Charlie Kaufman – especially Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. These movies really capture the essence of the importance of experiences in life. And Anchorman. Enough said on that one. I also enjoy the emotive power of Darren Aronofsky's films.

Television:

I don’t watch much, but here’s the shows I enjoy: Lost, Scrubs, My Name Is Earl, Six Feet Under, 24, Futurama, Family Guy, Malcolm in the Middle, Simpsons, Venture Bros., Stella, Nip/Tuck, Dexter

Books:

Chuck Palahniuk

Heroes:

SXSW / Blog on Blogs [Action]

Underage Action / Memorial Daze

A couple of nights ago I was going to bed around 3am. I've been sleeping with the window open lately to keep the room cool. After I turned off the light and lay me down to sleep I heard loud moaning...

4:00 is the cruelest of hours

Last night I was hanging out until a little after 4:00am.  It was fun and I was considering the notion that 4:00 was a great hour.  However, after weird dreams of being on SNL with Jimmy Fal...

"And where did you go?" you might ask yourself.  Well, around the beginning of September, my brother called me to let me know that he was getting a new job.   He had 2 weeks off betwe...

People are people / Disjunctive cynicism

Now I hesitate to call myself cynical.  Or jaded even.  In fact, I have a sort of perpetual shit-eating optimism.  I swing like a pendulum between the excitement of anticipation and the...
