playing music, random exploration and adventures, vinyl records, making weird sounds and beating on things, ephemerata, painting, photography, writing, reading, collages, drawing, making magnets, comics, sci-fi, comparative religion, history, museums, archeology, lost civilizations, dreams, people watching, good and subversive stand-up comedy, playing games that make me feel smart one minute and incredibly stupid the next, scribbling, sudden jerky dance moves, wandering through strange parking garages, sitting and looking at clouds and trees and contemplating this bizarre world

embarrassing myself, making people laugh both intentionally and unintentionally, beating people at uno, making smoothies

space/time, the nature of reality, what is happening in parallel dimensions, what is happening in the heads of random strangers, what i am going to eat next,what i am going to listen to next, who gave the silly names to all of the objects and animals, why cartoon animals wear shirts but no pants

we have some things in common and you would like a new friend. if you want to play music or be crafty and work on art projects together. if you enjoy exploring random areas of the city you have not seen before and just wandering around.. if you prefer something chilled out like dive bars and board game nights to downtown. if you just want to be silly and enjoy life. if you are interested in actually trying to make a connection and get to know someone, whether that be friendship or something more.
