I haven't purchased paper towels in nearly a decade. If I could get by without a car I would. I used to go to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts once a week, mostly just to look at the Rembrandt. I worked as a journalist in Italy. I am a pacifist, but almost got beat up by a cop once for standing up for someone being abused by him. I know all the lyrics to all the songs from the Little Mermaid. I once questioned my sexuality because I thought Brad Pitt was so hot. I backpacked through Europe for a year after high school. I have a hip hop alter ego that spits mad rhymes and if you are lucky you get to hear some. I am literary as shit, my cat is named Rilke. Also though being a parent is a huge part of my life don't be freaked out, you won't be stuck watching my son or likely meeting him unless we really hit it off and spend some time together. His mom and I have a drama free healthy co parenting relationship.

Crying and watching reruns of The Golden Girls.

I think I am a pretty damned good father: my son is sensitive, creative, open minded and accepting, and already wise beyond his years. For Christmas he told me that the best present is how warm I make his heart: I cried and hugged the hell out of that dude. I am also pretty funny, 2013 will be the year I try an open mic for some stand up. Lastly I think I am a talented writer; my prose plumb depths, sing, and through it all remain accessible and relevant. Bam: bragging done.

My huge muscles, also I have dimples

favorite book of all time: Absolom Absolom by William Faulkner, maybe The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy. But I'll pretty much read anything.

Movies: My absolute favorite movie is: Todo Sobre Mi Madre, by Pedro Almadovar, but I also like anything by Terrence Malik in particular The New World, anything with a good car chase, and I am a sucker for sci-fi just to veg out.

Shows: I consciously don't own a TV, but I watch online: Walking Dead, Louie, Archer, Workaholics.

Music: my favorite of all time may be Neutral Milk Hotel, but I listen to everything. Literally everything. Here are a few: Mos Def, Brother Ali, Doomtree, Die Antwoord, MF Doom, Band of Horses, Radiohead, The Shins, Modest Mouse, Metric, Elliot Smith, The Smiths, Portishead, Ellie Goulding, Massive Attack, Bob Dylan, The Greatful Dead, Alison Krause, The Carter Family, The Louvin Brothers, Dolly Parton, Gram Parsons, ....

Food: if it is good I will eat it. Weather it is poached quail eggs or summer greens with balsamic and chevre. I don't do much fast food though.

Puppies, bunnies, snugly kittens, baby polar bears, penguins, and hard core pornography.

What sort of cool nicknames I can give myself, so that I can employ cool catch phrases. Example. Nickname: "the sauce" Catchphrase: "Everybody likes the sauce." Nickname: "the dong" Catchphrase: "Hello my nickname is "the dong.""

Drinking whiskey and working on the novel.

I sort of think of nipples as natures tattoos

I'm looking to have my socks knocked off. I am looking for someone who can challenge me, comfort me, make me laugh, and above all inspire me.

If you don't like the gays, move along. If you think Obama is a socialist, forget about me. If you driver a hummer, get lost.

If you rate high on the radical scale give me a holler. I'm game to meet.
