I am Awesome, Ridiculous, and A worthy adversary.
My Self-Summary
I have strong opinions on things like politics, environmental
stuffs, interpersonal behavior, what constitutes good and bad
music. How the human species is weakening itself, the ground it
walks on, and how to not be party to it. I hope that doesn't come
off as too standoff-ish, I thought Kanye did Taylor pretty dirty
too.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm a guitar player and a vocalist, and have been studying the
guitar for over 13 years. I knew I wanted to pursue music
professionally about 4 months into my studies. My teacher has
become a friend and mentor figure over the years. On one hand I'd
love to insinuate what one could expect of my playing, on the
other, I savor the joy in surprises.
I run a business transcribing music. I feel very grateful and
privileged to be able to pursue my dream of being a freelance
musician. I look forward to keeping it up, and diversifying.
I’m really good at
Being ruthlessly objective.
Dissecting social minutiae.
Putting things in perspective.
Giving advice.
Breaking up long term goals into smaller ones.
The first things people usually notice about me
It depends, they'll often notice they're being screwed with in some
way. I love getting a rise out of people, and keeping it going
until it collapses on itself. I don't do it maliciously, even
though I have a really dark sense of humor.
Some people think I have a little bit of an ego. Those people are
weak.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Food:
Vegan/
Vegetarian obviously.
Seitan rules my life.
Music: Early
Genesis,
Frank Zappa,
Michael Hedges, early Dream
Theater.
King
Crimson, a little bit of
jazz but not huge.
Movies: The
Shawshank Redemption is my
favorite. I recently saw
An Unreasonable Man and
Who Killed the
Electric Car? I highly recommend both.
The six things I could never do without
Dreams
Values
Laughs
Challenges
Losses
Victories
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How to better myself inter-personally, musically, as a business
person. How to be a better citizen, or how to diminish my carbon
footprint. How I could have better handled a situation, why someone
else handled it differently, which way is better. How being aware
of something is the first step. How only thinking about something
is insufficient.
On a typical Friday night I am
Cackling in the backseat of a police car.
Or bar hopping, live music, I could just be at home practicing.
Catching up on House and the Daily show can also be quite
delicious.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I only use my powers for good.
You should message me if
You suspect Stephen Colbert would accuse you of being a dirty
communist hippy.
