I am here for Friends

About Me

I enjoy soaking up culture as sound, taste, picture, or smell.

I enjoy walking as opposed to riding, and definitely hate driving.

I revel at being a wallflower.

you can check out a small portfolio of what I do here.

My Interests

designs, musics, photographies, relaxing, sunny days in parks, conversations that last hours longer than expected, spending days without my cell phone

I'd like to meet:

Someone that'll push me forward when I stand still.

Music:

Hip Hop is in heavy rotation. Jay-Z, Biggie, and Dr. Dre all the way to my favs including Common, the Roots, MF Doom, Madlib and Lord Quas, Mighty Most Def, my new favorite K-Os (sick sick sick), O.C., EPMD, Emanon (never knew they were so good), Slum Village, and of course meanering into soul with the likes of Dwele (Rize EP!), Roy ayers, and new stuff from Van Hunt, etc. Basically if it's on chocolate City (favorite show on KCRW), then it's in my box. I'm really into Antibalas and Fela Kuti right now ... who doesn't love 10+ people on stage gettin' down? Of course I listen to a lot of indie stuff too, but I'm sick of typing ....

Movies:

last few movies watched: ??Things I have never seen that you will make fun of me for:
Twin Peaks (soon)
Finally saw the Shining, and it was good.

Television:

I use my TV for movies I guess. I watch TV on a computer now, and that's limited to episodes of the Daily Show and The Office.

Books:

i read slower than a third grader. Here's what I've read 'recently' (in reverse chronological order): Blindness (Jose Saramago), Snow Crash, Blink, Breakfast of Champions, The Walmart Effect, Dune, The Tipping Point, The Future of Freedom (Mr. Zacharia you are the man)Dune Messiah (word up Alia), Dress your family in Corduroy and Denim, The Art of Innovation, Oil (a must read), Dune

Heroes:

Charles and Ray Eames Mr Gallant My Grandmother

morning air

Winter mornings are tough. They are cold, and your nostrils scream when you breathe. They do, however, invite coffee aromas and those beautiful smoke plumes that dance above buildings. I'll be ...

caffeine enema

I have never lived in a city as obsessed with coffee and it's cousins as MF Seattle. Trying to cut back on coffee here is like asking a sex-addicted businessman to pass up girls in Thailand. No way ...
