About Me

i've been told i'm magical, and i have the sneaking suspicion that may or may not be true.

My Interests

CATHARSIS. moving out. getting my shit together. isolation. sucking the marrow out of life. paying it forward. random acts of kindness. jumping on beds. spinning in circles. driving aimlessly. honing my skills. living in love. exploration. live music. having something to do with my hands. giving up my vices. visceral reactions. prioritizing. keeping promises. falling in love with something every day. drinking beer in the afternoon. throwing tantrums. retaining the mentality of a pre-pubescent. being merciful. pretending to give up my vices, but always going back to them. barefeet. watching the seasons. readings. airing of grievances. jamming out. feeling sand. loving unconditionally, albeit sometimes shamelessly.

I'd like to meet:

chivalry.

Music:

riotous cacophonies, sweet interludes, 3 part harmonies, jangly pianos, wailing guitars, fat beats, tippany rolls, old school new school no school, sweet rhymes, raw throats. i love it all.

Movies:

the royal tenebaums. beetlejuice. driving lessons. the monster squad. the life aquatic. waking life. young frankenstein. shaun of the dead. rushmore. john cusack. kevin smith.

Television:

six feet under. man vs wild. most evil.

Books:

currently: the little prince, cat's cradle, the shining (again), the new constitution.

Heroes:

ferris bueller.

My Blog

rolling chairs are really quite possibly one of the greatest inventions in the past century. although they do have a habit of inhibiting the apathetic and lazy... i can't help but do a little dance ev...

crickets

everything is starting to make sense. in that way that never really does. it's good to feel protected. but it's sometimes better to teeter on the brink of something. lately, i can't distinguish the on...
