About Me

I like to talk to people who think about things. And I like to debate. I believe the best idea wins, and i don't care whose idea it is. I moved to L.A. from D.C., and from Rural Pennsylvania to D.C. before that. At some point I will live in another country for several years. Front runners include Australia, New Zealand, Vancouver, and Spain. I've been to exactly none of these places. I think marriage is a real crap institution, but then again, i think most institutions are crap. I found an amazing, amazing woman. I play guitar and bass. The most satisfaction i get is from creating and performing music. I believe that all the bad things that people do come from a place of insecurity and/or fear. If we can eliminate those, this place would rock. I have a hard time relating to people who lie. Even if it's just a lot of little ones. I think all growth is painful.

My Interests

Music. MMA.

I'd like to meet:

Cool people who like to be positive. L.A.'s got over a million people who can cleverly point out how much something sucks. How about the folks who just get all kinds of excited for cool shit? I want to meet them. I like strong people. And not strong in the way that they can endure really crummy circumstances for years on end. Strong like they know what they want and they go and get it. People who go find cool shit to be excited about. Good energy rules. Anyone who's fun, likes to laugh, and lets me be me is aces in my book.Also, I stole this from my friend, 'Kayla'. But she knows what she's talking about.. and i wanna meet these people too: "real people who make mistakes, fail, try, believe, experience, listen, see, succeed, fight, bleed, try again, own their flaws, try to better themselves, and care. real people that attempt, that dont regret, that don't fear the reasonable. people that take risks, fuck up more, learn from their mistakes, and appreciate every moment and person that makes up their existence.... "

Ways to live

Some of these I've read, and some I made up. But I like 'em all the same. 1) Find truth. Find your own truth. Find real truth. Real truth is rarely given to us by others. It's felt. From 'doi...
