Laid back, social conscientious, and deeply into independent music (WFMU especially) I guess are things that first come to mind. I enjoy getting to know where I'm living. Usually through long walking journeys, produce shopping, locating interesting bars, cultural outings and the like. I'm a heavy thinker and listener I suppose. I've been living in cities for the past few years but I like to stargaze a lot whenever I'm away from a city, so deep down I think I have a thing for the outdoors. Fortunately I live near prospect park. Looking to tap local produce and getting more adventurous in the kitchen. I also like radio and the idea of not being able to know what I'm going to hear. Old (somewhat corny) music I grew up with still has a place in my heart with indie band flavor of the week.

Just moved up here from a summer of peace work in Israel/Palestine to get a grad degree in Public Administration/Policy. (also had a great time farming with Palestinians)

I've spent some time in non-profits and in the good government crowd in Philly. Looking to keep the studies going while getting to know Brooklyn and hopefully get into the DJing scene.

picking up hobbies and juggling all of them. The last few months I've been coaching fencing, DJing, studying Arabic, salsa danced a bit, started a non-profit, and maintained a beer homebrewing co-op on the side. Hard to know what I'll have time for up here. I hope that doesn't sound cocky, I'm the first to admit I'm not amazing at a few of these things too. The beer has all turned out good though so far!

okcupid: I don't have a lot of good pictures of myself
real world: I'm not much of an attention hog, especially when in groups of people. But my social life is important to me too, I like to go out when I can.

Music is one of the things that are really important to me. Its hard to rattle off names because you always forget some that are important but I guess important groups would be Animal Collective, TV on the Radio, Girl Talk, MF Doom, The Pixies, Cut Copy, the Roots, Justice, Radiohead, Dangermouse (anything he produces), Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Diplo, Dan Deacon, James Brown, Otis Redding, Earth Wind and Fire, Talking Heads, Jimi Hendrix, and A Tribe Called Quest. I also grew up listening to a lot of classical music, mainly Puccini, Debussy, Berlioz, Rachmaninov, and Mahler.

Authors would be Nick Hornby (high fidelity/fever pitch), Sandy Tolan (The lemon tree), Nietzsche, JS Mills, WEB DuBois, and Nader.

I love local food. I'll eat anything. Very serious about that. I don't watch a lot of tv but I'm a fan of Top Chef, Flight of the Conchords, and MST3K. I'm a big soccer fan, so early morning trips to a pub to watch English games happen every now and then.

music, the things in life music makes you think about, politics, food, eating food, social justice, figuring out what "social justice" means in reality, the future.
