I am inquisitive, tall, and relaxed.

My Self-Summary

I was born in Florida, moved to Los Angeles in my twenties, and I've spent most of my thirties in London. Who knows what my forties will bring.

What I’m doing with my life

Computer stuff pays the bills. I go to gigs every chance I get.

I’m really good at

Telling stories, finding and recommending books, films, and music to my friends. I'm starting to get decent at photography, but I'm a long way from "really good".

The first things people usually notice about me

My height (6'4), my (somewhat country-fried) accent, my shamelessly silly sense of humour.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books:
Anything by Harry Crews, Michael Chabon, Kurt Vonnegut, John Irving, Neil Gaiman.
Movies:
All things Tarantino, Scorscese, Coppola, Wes Anderson, Coen Brothers.

Music:
Too many to name, but Beatles, Beastie Boys, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Concrete Blonde, R.E.M., The Who, and many, many more. Local acts gigging away in pubs are some of my favourites.

The six things I could never do without

1. A computer with a decent broadband connection (Through this simple tool, many fine things flow).
2. Music
3. Something to read
4. The company of good, interesting, funny people.
5. A pluralistic and open society
6. The time and opportunity to enjoy the above

I spend a lot of time thinking about

I try not to focus on any one thing, but I like to stay reasonably well informed about news and current events.

On a typical Friday night I am

At one of my friends' gigs.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

It's been a long journey from a small town in Florida to the Big Smoke. On the way, I've lost my religion, many of my fears, and (hopefully) most of my prejudices, but I do miss that little town sometimes.

You should message me if

You've liked anything about what you've read/seen on this profile. Don't be shy, I really like meeting almost everybody (much to the consternation of my more reserved friends).
