I can never seem to give this a flow of any sort it just comes out like a stream of consciousness list of things. Well any way I'm an anarchist. I'm working class. I'm queer. According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator I have a INTP type personality. I'm vegan. I listen to hardcore, punk, and hip hop, i also love 60s soul and 60s ska/reggae. I like to dance. I also love stage dives and high fives. I love beer. I love hockey and soccer. I love bikes, so much in fact that I don't own a car (that's a bit of a cop out, like I could afford a car), I would like to get a moped because winter biking sucks.

Things I hate: fascists, nationalists, racists, sexists, homophobes.

Just a couple quick notes about me being queer.
1. I consider myself pansexual, gender isn't an issue for me when I'm attracted to someone.
2. Why do I have myself in here as straight although I'm queer? I had myself listed as bisexual and I had received a lot of messages from guys but to be honest only one really stood out and I had already met him via facebook. I changed it from bi to straight to cut down on the messages. I tend to be very picky when it comes to guys. I'm sorry other queer guys on this site, probably not attracted to you, unless you happen to look like Brendan Kelly. Or if you look like Raul Meireles. Really google the two of them: if you're tall, thin, dark haired, scruffy, and tatted up then i probably think you're hot. Some friends have brought to my attention that this somewhat describes me and have posited that I'm not queer but incredibly vain to the point of wanting to fuck myself, I don't think that's true.

I was a history and education major at Wayne State. Bartending Wednesday nights at Woodbridge Pub and barbacking at Rodin. Looking for another bartending job in Detroit (Downtown, Cass Corridor/Wayne State, New Center, anywhere I can bike to) because a man's got to move up in the world. I'm also currently working on starting a mod/skinhead soul and reggae night. I'd also like to eventually finish my education degree so I can teach when I start hating nights and enjoying mornings.

Cooking vegan food. Being an asshole. Stage dives and high fives.

That I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. Oh and how much I fucking swear. No seriously I am socially inept and have the hardest time talking to people outside my circle of friends, especially those I'm attracted to.

Whiskey and beer (If not a craft beer or an import I'm drinking PBR, High Life, or Strohs... fuck mid level beers. With drinking it's either about the destination or the journey: if its about the "destination" (you know getting drunk) don't waste your money: go bottom shelf and buy that Kessler, Popov, Boone's Farm, or Milwaukee's Best Ice. On the other hand if you want to enjoy what you're drinking... spend that way.),
a pen and notebook
my cell phone,
my turntables and vinyl collection,
my bike Holy Diver (yes my bike is named after a Dio song),
xbox 360 and my netflix account

How I shouldn't be so fucking cynical.

How shits hitting the fan... like in Greece, Spain, etc. Then thinking all romantic about the possibility to go off and join the new International Brigades, bailing on the Stalinsts or Trots maybe even social democrats who brought me over and joining the anarchist militias. NO PASARAN!

Working from 3PM to 3AM at Rodin. Going home.

On occasion I will put on Madonna's Immaculate Collection and dance around.

When I'm sitting or lying in bed my cat Purruti (named after the Spanish anarchist Beunaventura Durruti) will come over, lay on my chest and attempt to nurse on me. Straight up nuzzle his head under my chin and start suckling on my collarbone. It's a shame he was taken from his mother too early, but I'm flattered that he feels that way about me.

My ex and I have a really weird relationship right now. Rachael and I are still really close. I take care of her dog and "my" cat is technically "our" cat. Her and I hang out on a regular basis, probably once a week. The only requirement I have is that you wouldn't be threatened or weirded out by this.

You're cute and cynical. Oh... and if you like bikes or vegan food.

And if you happen to look like or be Brendan Kelly.

You love quoting The Big Lebowski.

You've ever gone out for Halloween as Margot Tenenbaum and need a Richie.

You want to buy guns and ship off to southern Europe.

You want to spend a (b)romantic summer drinking Strohs on my porch while listening to Springsteen, Slayer, and the Specials.
