I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I do not have a tribal band or barb wire tattoo, I have never worn a visor upside down or at all for that matter (maybe if I ever work at a casino, but that is a long shot), I do not and will not ever own a leather jacket, I hate to high five, and I liked Belltown better when it was dangerous. I like to pretend I know what I am talking about. When I am not spending my time being too quiet I am spending my time antagonizing friends and family. I like to do just about anything, but I don't always do something. I am on a crusade to rid the world of stupidity, which may result in my own demise. I am too shy for my own good, which makes my need to be the center of attention such a weird personality trait (a humble Leo if there is such a thing). I am a walking contradiction and I love it, so screw you. My favorite phrase is 'I get it, wait no I don't'. I like irony and misusing the definition of it. I like to do things when people are not looking. I am also a firm believer in that you don't know someone until you take a road trip with them. I am easily distracted and tend to aimlessly multi-task. I tend to repeatedly use words and phrases and see how long it takes to catch on or keep alive. For instance, the word jackass is a long time favorite of mine and is grossly underused. I also wander like an old man from one group of friends, or activity. I am a big fan of new people and interesting stories (the last one involving an Iranian bar, Vancouver, shots of tequila with the bartender and owner, a belly dancer, and a very bad Iranian cover band) and I pay a great deal of attention to the little things. If/when I throw a party it ends up being an odd collection of people, but I think that describes me pretty well at the end of the day.

My Interests

Music, Movies, Photography, Soccer, Writing, Mountain Biking, Live music, A good baseball game, dive bars, Beer and BBQ's, sleeping in, staying up late, an occasional wicked bender, heated debates, string theory, questionnaires about my interests.

I'd like to meet:

People who are not smart enough to realize I don't know what I am talking about. Someone classy who swears and tells dirty jokes under their breath. My idea of a fun time is spent with anyone with a sharp tongue and a mischievous mind. I have a problem with agendas, whether it be simple planning or subtle grand plans. Simply put, people need to apply the brakes, slow down and take it all in a bit more. Life is a marathon not a race; enjoy it while it lasts people. And if you know how to do that let me know, because I only figured out the philosophy not the application. You have got to know how to take a joke and have great pride in humility. Someone who has a sense of who they are and won't back down if challenged on it. And if you ever throw your guitar on stage, don't look back to see if it is ok, very un-rock & roll.

Music:

Radiohead, DMB, Spoon, Beatles, Stones, White Stripes, Clinic, McClusky, Beta Band, Neutral Milk Hotel, Cat Stevens, J5, Nirvana, No Doubt, Kings of Leon, The Shins, Gomez, Modest Mouse, John Denver, Eels, Built to Spill, Tragically Hip, Blind Melon, Bobby Bare Jr, Cake, Chevelle, Detroit Cobras, Clapton, Gordon Lightfoot, Hall & Oates, Kinski, Lemon Jelly, Mates of State, Frampton, Pinback, REM, Apples in Stereo, Dandy Warhols, Delgados, The Kinks, Long Winters, Postal Service, The Vaselines, Tool, The Black Keys, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah,

Movies:

Deer Hunter, Anything Oliver Stone, The Dark Crystal, Dumb and Dumber, Rushmore, Baraka, Office Space, Donnie Darko, Tao of Steve, Bullitt, Thomas Crown Affair. And Dreamcatcher is the worst movie of all time. Any movie with an Alien that has an english accent is sure to blow.

Television:

Cops, I'm with Busey (that's funny stuff). Average Joe. Basically TV train wrecks that I can't help but watch. Oh, and Discovery Channel because it makes me smart. I got digital cable and now the National Geographic channel never gets turned off.

Books:

Motley Crue- Dirt, The Universe in a Nutshell (I have an odd interest in science that I never apply other then useless facts, Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise. Salvador Dali (obviously not a writer, but there is nowhere to sound like an artsy asshole on here.)

Heroes:

You're kidding right?

Super Tits

definition of me

So here is a great example of me. I absolutely hate those songs where they run through a normal 3-4 minutes of music and then end, but they are not over. It is dead air for about 7 minutes until it po...

Fact or Fiction

I think, sometimes, if you point out the obvious that people will actually think you are very smart.
