I don't think that you could ever really explain me in a few short words. I'm strangely complexe in some ways and simple in others. I tend to make friends easily enough, but seem to enjoy the quiet times by myself more then anything. I have a huge heart and share it with many people, but shoulder some great weight that I don't know if I'll ever share. I guess I'm just some bizarre fellow.
Lived in Portland for almost a decade now having moved around the western United States for a while. Love the people, love the climate, and love the town. I lived in lot of larger cities but I have to say this town is the best. There always seems to be something going on or something to do. I couldn't imagine a better place to raise a child.
You're a father you ask? Guess you could call him my salvation, and possiblely the reason for my existence. He'll be a great man one day...

My Interests

This is a hard one.
My girth would suggest food, but I know women half my size that can eat me under the table. I do love food though, but more of in a cooking sense. I spent some time as a pastry chef, though more of an apprentice. I'm good at cooking bachlor food, yet I know I have a flare for anything that happens in the kitchen.
I've wondered where my life would be if it wasn't for music. The sad thing is that I can't play a single instrament. But if a half deaf man can create some of the most ground-shaking music ever, then I can still appreaciate music. My voyage down music is a strange one. I was the guy that would always suggest stuff to you in highschool that wasn't really on the radio. I listened to punk/ska for a bit and hung out with the hair band crew/heshins as well. I introduced all my friends to Love & Rockets/Bauhaus and bought Bleach the first week it was out. One of my best friends and I stole his mom's car to go buy Pretty Hate Machine the day it was released. Then I went to my first rave on May 19th, 1991. I haven't really looked back, and rarely do I have music that has anything to really do with the radio these days. I don't know who Mary J Blige is or The Killers are. But I do know who The Herbaliser and DJ Krush are, and so should you.
I also like some anime, the Japanese people, flirting when she know's I'm not trying to get in her panties, kissing soft lips, random acts of kindness, drinking with friends, talkin trash, debating, djing said electronic music, looking for whats on the other side of the rainbow.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that's riding on this ship of fools.

Music:

Most things electronic. Been getting back into jazz of late and some classic rock, but I don't really listen to the radio anymore. I would like to get back into music production though...

Movies:

Like sci-fi a lot. Most of the movies I have not full of explosions and aliens, but I have a few here and there that are real gems. The Big Labowski is one of my all-time favorites.

Television:

Don't watch too much other then the rare TV movie rerun or my really sick vice of professional wrestling.

Books:

Most of the books I read lately are childrens books that I try to read to my son. He ususally just takes the book and sticks a corner in his mouth so I must be doing something wrong.

My Blog

He's born!

I guess I should place here as well, but my son was born! OMG!OMG!OMG! so happy :)
