I am patient, random, and alive.
My Self-Summary
I am an unorthodox
human living in
Oakland. I have a basement so that I can
work on all those crazy projects I always have going. I am a
bartender in the
Dogpatch, which works well enough for
me at the moment. I am now pursuing a career in keeping people
alive long enough to make it to a hospital (
EMS). I climb trees in
Mendocino, buildings in
San Francisco, people
in
Arcata, and art
in
Black Rock
City. I am not what you expect, so don't.
I don't go out of my way to contact people much. I usually just
wait until the daring or curious ones contact me first.
What I’m doing with my life
Working in an
organic wine bar in
San Francisco. Staying calm when
people freak out. I quit school because it was holding me back from
truly
learning.
Trying to be a good friend/lover/employee. Not practicing
Sign Language as much
as I should be. Pushing myself to complete a route more difficult
then 5.11C.
Also, I am preparing for the impending
apocalypse. It could come as swarms
of
Zombies,
Aliens, Robots, Nuclear War, or Small
Super-Powered
Marsupials, but it will come. And I will be ready for it.
I’m really good at
Driving.
Surviving.
Storytelling.
Fighting. Remembering faces.
Talking to
Animals. Anything with my hands. Being
there when I am needed. Listening to my body. Listening to the
Seasons. Dealing with emergency situations.
The first things people usually notice about me
The odd way I dress. My large nose (which could have been
indirectly responsible for the fall of the Ottoman Empire). My
on-again, off-again mohawk. The fact that I don't dress
appropriately for the weather. My nakedness (it happens more often
then you may think).

The six things I could never do without
Breath, Water,
Nature,
Physical Contact,
Dreams, a good Jacket and
sturdy pair of boots, the occasional quiet solitude I need to
regroup, the will to NOT follow all rules set before me.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Everything. But mostly the people I care about, projects I am
working on, and how
Zombie-proof a building is. The
end of the world. Body Modifications.
I just had a fantasy of Les Claypool doing a collaboration album
with System of a Down. Thought I should share that.
On a typical Friday night I am
Working (AKA Getting people really drunk). Making lists.
Daydreaming. Driving. Talking on OKC. Proving to the world that
Ninja are far superior to Pirates. Making out (if I am very very
lucky).
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I am poly and I wouldn't have it any other way. This is actually
not a secret or even private, but I just thought I should point it
out.
I am not a secretive person. If you want to know anything about me,
just ask. Seriously.

was.

You want to tell me a story or you want me to tell YOU a story.
