I am musical, earnest, and inquisitive.
My Self-Summary
A marble rolls down a better mouse trap and it distracts me like
shiny objects do most. It would make me very happy if I could unzip
the universe and peer into how it works. Instead I'll listen to
music of
Lady Tron,
Low or
Why? (to name a few) and wander in
thought.
Dreams are
the litmus of life and so I wait for the periodic ones that you
wake from like a good movie. My latest gem was about a Turtle
assassin, but he was unaware of the fact of his role.
Found Objects as art,
conversations that make you forget
what time it is and
wet kisses are the stuff of a good
afternoon.
What I’m doing with my life
A continued exploration of music composition and electronic sound.
Riding motorized two-wheeled vehicles. Making children smile on CTA
buses.
Then there are the friendships that are really what life is about.
I’m really good at
Making a green bean casserole
Parallel parking
Strumming a B bar chord
Tapping the dash with random music on the radio
Other things (music|sound) that involve too much text space than
this little box provides.
The first things people usually notice about me
People usually get a sense of how open I am. I'll talk to anyone
about anything. Also, folks usually notice my acute perception of
the situation at hand. Or maybe what I think is my acute
perception.

The six things I could never do without
Coffee
my scooter/motorcycle
A musical instrument (any, really)
Opposable thumbs
The changing of the seasons
Spicy food
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The nature of things, relationships and deconstructing the mystery
of a good melody.
Systems that feed on themselves in a perpetual positive or negative
direction.
Whether or not society will extinguish itself / An impending
Apocalypse.
On a typical Friday night I am
Going to a show, playing a show, taking it easy or hanging out with
the roomies.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Getting caught for shoplifting an album of Ornette Coleman. I've
put my criminal life behind me.
You should message me if
If you want to ride (I will provide a helmet) to a coffee shop or
an art museum or even a roller derby, contact me. If you want to
lay on the grass and talk about who's an introvert and who's
not...same. Also, anyone who knows what entropy is, definitely cc
me.
