About Me

Lanky. Laid-back. Love ukulele and running and am pretty sure that there's more than this just around the corner.I like the ocean and the mountains, although, I'm sure if I combined them, lots of things would drown.

My Interests

Playing music, listening to the droning voices all around me, staring out at the ocean, screaming in abject horror, ass-slapping...actually, slapping asses is pretty high on the list. Recently, I've begun to really dig super-long distance running. I've been a runner for a few years, but I'm talking big-ass trail runs in the mountains that go on for 5 hours. I ran my first 50 mile race in January and am preparing to run 100 in October. No, I'm not an idiot.

I'd like to meet:

a really good juggler, like the kind that juggles chainsaws. Attractive, boring, vacuous people that have no real sense of the ways of the world.That or a hobo tapdancer.

Music:

Tom Waits, Neutral Milk Hotel, Iron and Wine, Beatles, Housemartins, The Shins, Sufjan Stevens, Magnetic Fields, Camera Obscura, Johnny Ca$h, Elvis Costello, old REM, and that's just for starters.

Movies:

Yes, thank you. Some that I enjoy: American Movie, Reservoir Dogs, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, This Is Spinal Tap, Memento, It's A Wonderful Life and many more...

Television:

Ewwwww...tv. Isn't working in it enough?

Books:

Karoo, Love Is A Dog From Hell, Confederacy of Dunces, Geek Love, Tropic of Cancer, Post Office, Rum Punch, Breakfast of Champions, the shorts of Hemingway, Parker, Fante and Fitzgerald...I could go on, but you get the picture.

Heroes:

That guy that I saw on the news who swallows numbered pennies and barfs them up in numerical order.My friend David.My friend Billy.
