On a constant search for the perfect mix of high brow and low brow.

A swirl of words I identify with:
harpsichords, mid-century furniture, the color black, droste effect, Matryoshka dolls, talk boxes, vocoders, the moment the lights dim in a theater and everyone goes silent, chess, portmanteaus, the guessing game, the feeling of jubilation after running while drunk with friends, taxidermy, sapere vivere, bon vivant, TED talks, the ecstasy that is clean sheets, violin, symphony, black and white tile, the etherial way words come to your consciousness; almost out of no where, nostalgia, obfuscated information that appears to be meaningless noise to most but comprehensible to few. The pursuit of ideals, making toasts with good friends, riddles, the point at which the experiencial present turns into the past. When two mirrors are faced parallel to each other and develop a visual feedback loop until everything is black. Attempting to be less Machiavellian, all things fringe.

Finally found a cologne that smells of cedar and comes in a cedar flacon!!

I'm going to live forever or die trying.

I have a radio show (old school FM not internet)
I left a job in r&d to give people money to save the planet or something. I miss the possibility of dying at work.
I record and produce tunes .
and try to work on some art projects when I'm motivated

Je voudrais apprendre à parler français

Making mix tapes
Finding rare music or films
Recording and producing music.
Making people laugh
Storytelling
making GIFs

Restraining my desire to make sardonic comments.
Dancing like there's no one there, while there's someone there.

I posed this question to my friends and they responded:
"really tall, eccentric, bright smile"

I'd like to think my affability and gregariousness.

Art

Time,conciseness, efficiency, how things were fabricated
Art, Music composition, epistemological questions.

get rich quick schemes so I don't have to work another day in my life so I could travel around the world and work on projects. How it's impossible to find a decent cinnamon roll at a bakery in SF

at a friend's dance/music performance, splitting a bottle of champagne with a friend, or being reclusive while working on music

I once had a mullet.
Inexplicably, I get vertigo in OMNI theaters and will fall over if I go in one. :D
