I am ordinary, imaginary, and tiger.
My Self-Summary
I like watching television with the sound off. Watching obscure
french films. Hiking in the woods alone. I like naming inanimate
objects, just ask my plants. I am an explorer, a dreamer and a
realist. I'm a graphic designer and a fontophile. I work for a
casino on their creative team as a graphic designer.
I'm from Wisconsin, went to school in Ohio, worked in Michigan and
even lived in NYC for an internship at National Geographic
Adventure Magazine. I wrote a thesis concerning deceptive language
behavior. It's pretty fascinating stuff--I'd be happy to bore you
with it sometime.
I consider myself rather indie as far as tastes and interests and
generally am interested in the finding the same. I'm always looking
for music recommendations.
I find pleasure in going for walks at night by myself, exploring,
working on some obligatory art project or just sitting in the
comfort of a quiet conscience. I enjoy rain, a nice cup of sport
tea, Converse, fall, paperclips, corduroy, cows, candy apple red,
and tapioca pudding. I've been known to eat a 6-pack of pez in a
sitting.
What I’m doing with my life
I think I'm destined to be alone. Not because I'm not nice or
un-attractve, come to think of it, I'm not really sure why, but I
think I am.
There was a story about the Greek gods—they were bored so they
created human beings. But they were still bored so they invented
love. Then they weren't bored any longer. So they decided to try
love for themselves. And finally they invented laughter...so they
could stand it.
Wouldn't it be great to just meet the one you are supposed to be
with, settle down and just live? I'm not interested in playing your
games. I'm interested in Nick Drake. And camping. And hiking. And
hiding plastic army soldiers around my apartment. I like shitty
beer like Blatz and Schlitz. I've never been good at flying kites,
but I try. I love adventures. I prefer polaroids to digital, even
though they are stopping producing the film after this year. I like
James Dean. And the way red and orange clash. I roll the cuffs of
my jeans. My favorite letter of the alphabet is lower case h. I
don't throw away fortune cookie fortunes. I'm tired of being alone,
but I can't be content in a relationship. Now rinse and
repeat.
I suppose that's what I'm doing with my life. If you can relate to
any of that, send me a message.
I’m really good at
Quiet observation, smiling, sarcasm, procrastination, and
self-depreciation
The first things people usually notice about me
People don't usually notice me. I like to wear bowties though. The
real ones you have to tie. And sometimes the right people notice
that.

Trio, CSS, Le Tigre, Ladytron, Daft Punk.
D) I like most all foods, with the exception of fake lime
flavoring. I do like real limes though...
The six things I could never do without
A morning shower, Double-stick tape, Music, A sharpie, Fonts,
Personal space
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Myself. How I relate to others is important to me. I want others to
be happy, but I will put myself first when I'm not happy. Just
sorta how it is. Don't get me wrong, Im not vain or egotistical, I
just believe in being content in myself before making others
content.
On a typical Friday night I am
I most likely am out with friends or trying to find a moment to be
alone.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
It absolutely drives me nuts when people don't put their license
plate stickers in the correct places. It even shows you where to
put them on the envelope! Don't get me started.
I really have no secrets. If you wanna know, I'll tell ya.
You should message me if
Honestly, if you are a mans man. I consider myself to be a normal
guy (not that flaming guys are not normal), but I'm just lookin'
for people like me.
I am always looking for new friends just to talk to...I'm not
looking for anything specific, probably here for the same reasons
you are. Drop an e-mail and get to know me.
