I am articulate, rhythmic, and polytechnic.
My Self-Summary
Hello! Glad you could make it. Welcome to my humble expository
oasis.
I'm a creative burst of verbose insistence. I'm a crazily renounced
impious pontificator. Out of time, out of mind, out of place, out
of dimes. Above all, I'm a lyrical conflux of collective
unconscious looking for your elusive arch-melody.
I write poetry when it deigns to use me as conduit
I play music when it insists I cooperate
I draw when it seizes my hand in reluctant exasperation
Currently, I'm settling into my brand new city.... it's a Gemini's
paradise! I needs new friends, dear readers! Message meh! Special
Consideration given to roleplayers, musicians, logophiles, empaths
and polymaths.
Okcupid thinks my self-summary is brilliant.
Ecce! scintillae! *scampers off*
Now in French
Je veux dormir! dormir plutôt que vivre!
Dans un sommeil aussi doux que la mort,
J'étalerai mes baisers sans remords
Sur ton beau corps poli comme le cuivre.
-Baudelaire, "Lethe"
What I’m doing with my life
Constantly expanding my horizons in a quest to probe the heights
and depths of human experience (à la Jim Morrison). Reading,
listening, watching, pondering, letting it all flow over and
through me.
Though I've recently reinstated a regimen of running, I remain
ruefully out of shape. Yoga here and there, T'ai Chi from time to
time. Intermittent meditation.
I work as a dray, but play every day... the piano, mostly -- by ear
but also the written note. It teaches itself the guitar, as
well.
We're also working on a few computer certifications with the
intention of using them to fund study of pre-law (when we reengage
ourself in scholastic toil.) The frontier of internet and computer
law is a siren call to distinction.
I’m really good at
Paraphrase, turn of phrase, marinades, and accolades
linguistic and musical ventures -
holistic and odd misadventures
Sleeping late, getting laid, staying staid, and serenades
The first things people usually notice about me
Bad puns and soulful eyes.

The reconciliation of taoist and discordian ideals.
The next exponential leap in creative musicianship (WE'RE ON THE
BRINK!). At least one melody.
Birthdays and the mechanisms of fate -- *glares at the
Scorpios*.
A half completed list.
Stray lines of Frost.
Whatever happened to jjoed34?
On a typical Friday night I am
Wondering what day it is.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
My first word was "pretty". I'm a self-styled, professional admirer
of beauty.
I might as well add that (among myriad minor kinks) I'm a
hypnofetishist.
You should message me if
You are of pure heart.
-or-
Your evil is capricious, teasing, and liberated enough to turn me
on.
These requirements are waived if you know why Edison died laughing
in a pile of money wearing a "Suck it, Tesla!" T-shirt.
