I am inquisitive, musically inclined, and sarcastic.
My Self-Summary
Disclaimer: My photo is intentionally obscured. Message me and
perhaps I'll share more.
I'm always really bad a writing these things on any kind of social
networking site. Let's see: As you'll read about below I'm really
into
philosophy
so I enjoy discussing a lot of different things, even/especially
with complete strangers. I love
reading as well, used to do a bit of
writing but have
had to concentrate on other things more. I've been playing
guitar since I was
13 and can also play drums/bass/a little bit of piano. I'm really
into
live
music, even if it's a band I've never heard of or just a guy in
a piano bar. What I've mentioned are probably the biggest interests
I have so I'll leave it at that.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm currently working towards my bachelor's degree. I don't have a
typical major because I'm in an integrative studies program but it
deals mainly with philosophy and religion.
I’m really good at
Well, the first thing that comes to mind is playing the guitar
(it's not a conceited thing, it's just hard to suck at something
you've done consistently since you were 13). I'm not sure this
counts but I think the ability to coherently articulate ideas (mine
or others) is something I'm good at. I dunno, I feel like I'm just
talking myself up here and that is strange.
The first things people usually notice about me
Beard, hands down. Not sure after that, you tell me.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: Pretty much anything by Edgar Allan Poe, the
Dark Tower books, The
Call of Cthulu, The Dunwich Horror, White Noise, The Stand, blah
blah blah (I also usually enjoy reading my philosophy
textbooks)
Movies: The Nightmare Before Christmas, Little Miss Sunshine, Walk
The Line, The Rock, LOTR, Devil's Advocate, Gone in 60 Seconds, any
Pixar movie, The Corpse Bride, Memento, V for Vendetta, Thank You
For Smoking, Inglorious Basterds, Death Proof
Music:
Tom
Waits,
John Frusciante,
RHCP,
Opeth,
Metallica,
Lamb of God (if you know nothing
about this band, know this: they're definitely not a christian
band),
William Elliott
Whitmore,
CCR,
Murder By
Death,
Don
McLean,
Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers,
Foo Fighters
Food: I love great authentic Mexican food, Italian, Korean, Thai,
Greek, all sorts really.
The six things I could never do without
Family, best friends, food, water, clothing, shelter.
Ok, if the last 4 weren't interesting enough here's 4 more:
music (listening to and playing), reading, in-depth conversations,
road trips.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Theism/Atheism (and a myriad of other questions related to these
issues), how other people see me (which is good and bad in my
opinion), why I have to have so much reading for school that I
can't read what I want :(, what the hell (btw, I curse quite a bit
depending on who I'm around) I'm gonna do this coming summer (I
wanna do a summer study abroad) etc...
On a typical Friday night I am
Hanging out with friends, out at the bars or at someone's house. I
try to spend as much of my weekend-time as possible with friends.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I dunno, I'm kind of an open book, just ask.
You should message me if
you feel so inclined.
