I deal with things somewhat flippantly.

Let me elaborate: I have a serious job in finance (no, I'm not an apologist for all the damage caused by certain people in this industry) and for the most part, I would consider myself an adult. However, I feel that my sense of humor and admiration for creativity are also a huge part of my life (here's the grammatically dismissive "Stream of Conscious" part): I play in a band, most of my friends are engaged in art/other creative works, I constantly point out the absurdity in today's world, I love to go out to restaurants and enjoy cooking, I'm making up for years of not reading enough after college, Netflix rules...

I currently work as an analyst in the Finance industry, though at heart I wouldn't consider myself a "finance guy" (a somewhat abstract term, but I think most people have that same image in their heads when they think of "finance guys"). At my job I mostly deal with managing our very large Salesforce database, so I'm looking to transition into more of a tech based role (self teaching java/other programming languages and such). Outside of work, I play in a band. Bass playing is my primary musical trade, though I sometimes play acoustic and electric guitars.

bass playing, cooking, Microsoft excel (blech), listening to people, impressing people at work when solving problems that have extremely simple solutions.

Books: Well, I shamefully admit that up until last year, I was on a bit of a reading hiatus for a while. I have some serious catching up to do in this medium. Currently reading Inside of A Dog. Favorites: Snow Crash, Song of Ice and Fire, 1984 (Yeah I know it was required reading in high school, but I still loved it), The Kite Runner, The Stinky Cheese Man.

Movies: Kind of difficult for me to name my favorites... The Dark Knight, The Big Lebowski, The Matrix, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Inception, Coming To America, Fight Club, American History X, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Donald Duck in Mathemagic Land.

Shows: The Wire ( I can't watch Law & Order anymore after watching this show), Breaking Bad, Battlestar Galactica (newer), Game of Thrones, True Blood, Rome, Homeland, Archer, Boardwalk Empire, The Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, Metalocalypse, Family Guy, Animal Planet's: The Most Extreme, Planet Earth, Blue Planet, Life.

Music: Oh boy...here we go: Alice in Chains, Incubus, Primus, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, King Crimson, Sithu Aye, David Broza, Storm Corrosion, Animals as Leaders, Nine Inch Nails, Blonde Redhead, Gipsy Kings, Greg Howe, Dave Martone, Bombastic Meatbats, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, MF Doom, Michael Jackson, Jamiroquai, Killswitch Engage, Luna Sea, Maudlin of the Well, Pain of Salvation, Tool, A Perfect Circle, various classical/opera, various Jazz (Jaco Pastorious), a little Sinatra, good film scores/tv scores/game soundtracks (John Williams, Nobuo Uematsu)...I tend to gravitate towards hard rock/heavy metal/progressive music, but could enjoy any other genre except for National Socialist Black Metal (yes, that's an actual metal subgenre).

Food: This city has so much good food to offer it could get overwhelming at times. I love eating sushi and dumplings especially. As far as cooking goes, I make an awesome shakshouka, and I try to experiment making dishes with mostly vegetables (they usually go over pretty well...last time I made stuffed mushrooms at a party they were devoured immediately). I have been told that I am very talented on the grill and can make awesome burgers.

Meh...I'm adaptable.

The futility of human greed.

Recording an album that syncs up to Army of Darkness - Dark side of Oz style.

Going out, which usually means a good restaurant and a decent bar. I'm really liking the spots here in Park Slope, but also enjoy being around The Lower East Side, The Village, Williamsburg, or Greenpoint (not much of a Midtown guy). I'm not a club person, but don't mind dancing.

Sometimes I like to stay in. I don't mind those kinds of weekends once in a while.

As a kid, the most traumatizing thing I've ever seen in a movie was from Home Alone 2, when Marv got electrocuted with a brief flash showing his skeleton. For some reason, that freaked me out, and I was perfectly comfortable watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

you feel like it. As much as this statement will be present in 98% of OKC profiles, I can't really say much else...ultimately, you know how comfortable you are when messaging people.
