not that i can't, with both hands behind my back, devastate all.

About Me

new york city is home. my aspirations are lofty. i've convinced myself that they are attainable. i struggle. some days i think it's foolish. other days i think it's admirable. i left almost everything behind. one day i will return to it. i have a big heart. it stems from my obese past. if things don't work here, things don't work here. no regrets. i'll move on. mountaintops and moped shops.

My Interests

vintage mopeds. fear. laughing. awkward moments. the past. benevolent racism. camping. oregon. tennis. getting lost. love. hand jobs. freestyle running. vermont. telekinesis. teleportation. time travel. various fighting techniques. film. dinosaurs. hunting dinosaurs.

I'd like to meet:

someone who can teach me how to turn fat into gold.
someone who can craft wooden boats from aluminum cans.

Music:

the national. radiohead. sigur ros. the cinematic orchestra. lcd soundsystem. jason molina. wolf parade. foo fighters. anything mark kozelek related.

Movies:

tombstone. there will be blood. the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford. the adventures of buckaroo bonzai across the eighth dimension. anything with an excruciatingly long title.

and how about a solid bigfoot movie? is that asking too much? why is the yeti the black sheep of cryptozoological film? how about something serious? a dramatic piece that centers around the yetis longing for acceptance...that would of course end on a freeze frame of a yeti smashing a small boy's skull between his gigantic mitts.

Television:

a third world.

Books:

house of leaves

Heroes:

mag pipes.

the answer is nothing.

the time for somersaults and hot fudge sundaes has come and gone; summer became fall. but now fall fears the bitter, biting wind we felt today was actually winter's whistle. months cascading down from...
