I grew up in a cornfield in Southeastern Indiana. I had lived in Indiana my entire life up till a few months ago. I was the kid that nobody like and everybody picked on because I didn't conform socially but played by all of the hard rules. Striving for knowledge and learning on my own has always been my outlet; for example, when everyone was taking home Curious George from the library, I was bringing home encyclopedias. I studied insects as a kid and did so for so long I went as far a majoring in Entomology in college. One thing I knew I would never be when I grew up was be an artist but ironically a few years ago I found out I had a talent with photography and it led me to a lot of great shows and into many galleries and coffeehouses back in Indy. I used to love watching music so much and photographing that I simply burned myself out. To summarize, I get bored easily. I finally got bored with everything including my old state and I opted to move to Wisconsin.
After getting laid off from my job and taking on photography full-time I thought I was going to get to practically retire at at 32. Without having structure in my life and my life spinning out of control I found myself happily back in the 8-5 grind. I ended up at a law firm of all places and it was a great fit. The fit was so well they offered me a better opportunity at their office in Milwaukee and here I am. No, I'm not an attorney, but I manage all of the grunt work there and do all of the "thankless" jobs. The company is very generous and has an outstanding staff so it's the best thing I have going right now.
I'm really good at lots and lots of things. I'm the typical jack-of-all-trades, master of nothing; yet, I'm mechanically declined. I can't make a knot and terrible with tools, construction, cars, etc. Most of the things I can do I've taught myself so I'm not formally trained in anything. I learn quickly. I'm full of factoids and therefore can beat anyone at trivial pursuit. I also can write beautiful, sensual pieces that is driven from my deep imagination. You can also spin me around in a dark room and I can point north. Need a roadtrip partner?
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me is I'm socially awkward so I usually stick out like a sore thumb. I can adjust to about any situation and I'm not afraid to go out alone. I'm very independent. I do have this hat I wear almost wherever I go except when it's cold because I have to keep my ears covered. It's become my trademark and I usually always have glasses. People usually suspect I'm in my mid-twenties and I like proving them wrong.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food... The world is already fascinating enough that you don't have to read made up stuff. I love documentaries and love understanding the history of about anything, especially if it deals with my surroundings.This goes for books and movies both. I can get into a well done movie once in awhile. It it makes me cry I'll probably like it.Music has always been a significant part of my life. I appreciate the local bands more than anything but a few of my current favorites I hope you know is Beirut, Wilco, and Beulah.I like to eat too much. I HATE PICKLES.
I bike. I love. I need. I seek. I reject. I've been rejected.
Wanting tomorrow will get me through this day.
I am just a man
unique and sometimes risque
flawed and flaky too
