Just a balance of juxtapositions, seizing the day, seizing the life (sneezing occasionally during allergy season, but hey, I'm human).

Living a childhood dream, loving Seattle and everything it has to offer. Learning to fly, stretching, exercising, and expanding the right hemisphere whenever possible.

Being interested and amused by the strangest things, being fascinated by strangers and random connections...

That I end up surprising them by actually doing or have done some of the things that a lot of people only say they do.

+Things: raindrops on ___ and whiskers on ___ (feel free to keep going ;)
+Music: I'll listen to aaaaaaaaalmost anything (try me). I like to go see bands play without hearing them first; I'm an open mind.
+Shows: STOMP, Blue Man Group, RENT, more, more, more!
+Food: I love Indian, Thai, Italian, French, Japanese, Southern BBQ, most anything.
+Books: learning books, story books, funny books, nook books (sorry Amazon, I'm a B&N guy for sentimental reasons :)
I'm currently reading a book about the fascinating neuroscience behind some of our everyday deceptions.
+Movies: Chick flicks are my guilty pleasure. My favourite film is "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain", otherwise I've noticed a trend in that I love love love French films.

1.) Music
2.) A camera
3.) Chick flicks (that's right, I said that)
4.) Sunsets
5.) iPhone, postcards, forms of communication
6.) Learning

People, what makes them think, how people interact, stories, stories behind people (stories can be fiction or non-fiction fun), art, creativity, the psychology of how our brains perceive impossibility, and the next F1 or Red Bull Air Race. Random connections between unlikely people and things (the more seemingly impossible the connection, the better).

Wandering downtown looking for an adventure or something fun to catch my eye. That is, if I'm not already checking out a band or learning something new at the symphony or watching a movi...okay let's face it: there's so much to do out here.

I may or may not know all of the words to "Ice, Ice, Baby." Okay that's probably not *the* most private thing, but it does catch people by surprise sometimes (usually after discussing Shostakovich's 10th Symphony).

I'm a Mac (I just prefer to do without the elitism, don't worry).

I'm also a Canon guy, but I'm also open-minded about those things ;) I also like it when people talk nerdy to me. Oops. Too much?

Also, have you ever tried "The Birthday Project"?

If you're interested, naturally, I'd love to hear from you. Also, if you're looking for a challenge at a game of bowling, bring it on (you've been warned).
