is this where i engage in shamless self-promotion? i will go with something a friend wrote: he is kind, loyal person who tries to do the right thing. you can always count on him for satire and corny jokes that are sometimes funny because they aren't funny at all. he can be amazingly gregarious for a guy who does not need to be in a crowd to feel comfortable. he loves art (fine, literary, pop) and is constantly striving to learn more about the world in which he lives.

trying to find the right balance between work and play.

finding good homes for stray dogs.

my keen intellect, superb wit, handsome features and, um, natural sense of style.

books: in search of lost time, devil in a blue dress, pride and prejudice, portarit of an artist as a young man, get shorty, la confidential, infinite jest, the book of laughter and forgetting, a confederacy of dunces, wonder boys, the amazing adventures of kavalier and clay, white noise, the sportswriter.

movies: godfather, annie hall, midnight run, the third man, being there, the big lebowski, groundhog day, the lady from shanghai, apocalypse now, chinatown, scarface, the incredibles, young frankenstein, the wild bunch.

shows: deadwood, sopranos, lost, the office, breaking bad, the wire, mad men, friday night lights, curb your enthusiasm, sons of anarchy, freaks and geeks, six feet under, peep show.

music: bob dylan, patsy cline, david bowie, the rolling stones, motown, pavement, wilco, miles davis, billie holiday, tony williams, the replacements, thelonious monk, sinatra, faces, t rex, jeff tweedy, dusty springfield, tom waits, elvis costello, sonny rollins, prince, velvet underground, steve lacy, charles mingus, keith jarret, big star, sonic youth, paul motion.

food: i love good food of all kinds, which makes it pointless for me to be specific.

dogs, friends, art, laughter, comfortable bed, sleep.

but i was so much older then, i'm younger than that now

i tend it take it pretty easy (reading, watching netflix) since la can be so hyper-active on friday nights. i am sure that this could change with a little persuasion from the right person.

i enjoy my privacy.

you like what you read and see.
