I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Believe that "Nothing lies outside the text"; am a metaphor which is in turn a metaphor; am an author, a poet, a storyteller, and a creator of meanings; am a hyphenated person; desire stability and certainty, am as arbitrary as language; am not what I seem; never know what I mean; am a dreamer, being depressed by what you're impressed by; am a rhetorician; do not like all that I do; am not knowledgable about everything and don't assume anyone else to be; am a single combination of an infinite number of possibilities, do everything naturally yet remain culturally defined.

I am that which becomes me

"I was modest and middle-class enough to aspire to neither composition nor performance as a musical career, but too ambitious to consider teaching."

My Interests

'merica

Literature of Exhaustion,

Literature of Replenishment,

Fireflies,

Wearing layers,

Making incoherent alt-country music,

Breaking open the seals on new CDs,

The smell of grass after it has been cut,

Sunrises,

Practical Deconstructions,

The Blanket,

Studying people on the 17 bus,

Family

Making lots of mixes with all kinds of different themes

I'd like to meet:

THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC

Music:

Classic (Better Than I've Ever Been) - DJ Premier Remix
