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.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Music (the last use for myspace): american music club, atropa, blonde redhead, breeders, broken social scene, captain beefheart, cat power, cibo matto, deerhoof, deltron 3030, dewey redman, dismemberment plan, elastica, elvin jones, emmylou harris, faint, heartless bastards, hnia, jawbox, john coltrane, komeda, kronos quartet, larry young, low, lying in states, mark eitzel, mark hollis, marvin gaye, mccoy tyner, meters, miles davis, mogwai, ornette coleman, pedro the lion, pixies, pj harvey, police, radiohead, rocket from the crypt, sam rivers, sea and cake, shiner, shudder to think, sleater kinney, solex, suzanne vega, talk talk, the nein, tony williams, tribe called quest, volcano, wayne shorter, ween, yo la tengo

I'm currently reading A Short History of Nearly Everything, previously: Life after God, Einstein's Dreams to name a few.

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.
