I'm looking for serendipity around every corner. I'm pretty mental. I exert more effort on philosophy than most people. I'm also goofy (slightly dorky) - but that's coming under control. I enjoy funky art, funky music, and funky people.

Currently freelance designing - buildings, print ads, etc - & playing drums... Working towards live performance of my compositions. Also looking for work as an architect in the best economy of the past twenty years!

Making music, architecture, and art are among my favorite hobbies. I like to philosophize, conjecture, and postulate about life, sex, meaning, metaphor, and once in a while, politics.
I also give killer back rubs and have been known to help friends with back injuries / subluxations. Other things.
Pretty good at scrambled eggs.
I sometimes do really good impressions of people I know.

Maybe they notice my brilliant, radiant humility. There's no universal first thing, to my knowledge... Except maybe my knowledge. The walking encyclopedia of useless information which is my brain sometimes elicits responses from strangers of "Who IS this guy??" I'm pretty sure it's not in a good way every time.

books: Pretty much creative nonfiction: Godel Escher Bach, Coming Into Being, Atlas of Novel Tectonics (it's a lot of bullshit but interesting ideas are floated in it), Digital Mantras

movies: Moon was pretty good. Eternal Sunshine, Brazil, La cité des enfants perdus, Fight Club, 2001, action/adventure, all the good sci fi.

Smart rock; Electronic music that's more than 2-step, less than breakcore. OK here comes the list:
Apparat, Cepia, Beastie Boys, Radiohead, Frank Zappa, Yo la Tengo, Heavy Vegetable, Bonobo, Amon Tobin (sometimes), Wayne Krantz, Iron & Wine, Grand Pianoramax, Oz Noy, Cat Power, Amadou Et Miriam and misc artists from Tuva and North Africa (Senegal, Mali and Morocco), Chris Zippel, Four Tet, Deadbeat, Ochre, pretty much anything they'll play on Soma FM, Boom Bip, Trilok Gurtu, are you tired of reading yet? I could fill my profile with the music I like.

Omnivore, but prefer gruyere over velveeta. I love to cook spicy foods, enjoy mexican, thai... I'll try anything exotic.

a sound reproduction device (i.e., mp3 player w/ great phones).
Salt.
filtered water. (this is a popular one, I've noticed people care what they put into their bodies more lately, which is good.)
culture.
nature.
a best friend.

I've been told by many people that I think too much. So, apparently, the wrong things.

hopefully not having to work (which isn't often)... I'm
where my friends are, at a show, cruising on my bike and peoplewatching, enjoying gourmet street food, and/or feeling really great, because it's Friday night.

I'm way behind on pop culture. I killed the TV a while back, and have missed some awesome movies.

You want to perhaps consider maybe actually meeting me.
