I am skeptical, ornery, and capricious.

My Self-Summary

I've been living in Chicago for the past 3 and a half years and I love it. You can usually find me in dive bars and off-the-beaten-path restaurants. For the past year, I've been reading a lot about memetics and it's quite fascinating. I'm very statistical-minded; sometimes I feel more like a robot than a human, but I try to work it to my advantage. I get mixed results.

What I’m doing with my life

I've been working in the restaurant industry for a while now, and I really enjoy my life yet I feel there could be more. I have a lot of half-baked ideas that I would like to get off the ground. When I'm not working, I'm either composing music or writing about some sort of current event that irks me. I recently came to terms with the fact that I probably won't have that idealistic future I dreamed about when I was growing up. But I'm happy with that.

I’m really good at

learning, cooking, and using the oxford comma.

The first things people usually notice about me

That I have an opinion on nearly anything. I would consider that virtuous, but I suppose I can see how most people wouldn't. I also have a beard and that's pretty damn noticeable.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I mostly read non-fiction. Here are some random books that are either on my computer desk or on the floor within eyesight:

The Great Derangement by Matt Taibbi
The Drunkard's Walk by Leonard Mlodinow
Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
Lamb by Christopher Moore
Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
What's the Matter with Kansas? by Thomas Frank

As far as movies go, I will watch anything worth watching. For the record, Vince Vaughn movies are not worth watching. I watch a lot of documentaries on Netflix.

I love The Beatles (collectively and individually), Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens, Spoon, The Kinks, Devo, The Cars, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Wilco, and Elbow.

I love middle-eastern and eastern-European cuisine. I will try anything once.

The six things I could never do without

1. Cigarettes
2. Coffee
3. torrents
4. the CTA
5. Wikipedia
6. puns

I spend a lot of time thinking about

how superstitious we are as a people. It really bothers me.

On a typical Friday night I am

Working, usually. Afterwords, I like to be hanging out with a small group of friends drinking beer and trivializing life's major problems while blowing out of proportion its minor inconveniences.

If I'm not with friends, I'm drinking a sixer of tall boys and perusing Wikipedia trying to get lost in a sea of useless-knowledge.

Peruse, as in: examine or consider with attention and in detail; "Please peruse this report at your leisure"

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

that I like sports. Namely, Baseball. Mostly because of its statistical nature. My love for baseball (and game theory in general) taught me advanced calculus and Bayesian statistics.

You should message me if

You promise not to talk about what your minor was/is in college. Seriously, nobody really gives a shit.

Or, if you just want to talk about nothing in particular so that can evolve into us hanging out and doing nothing in particular. That's usually the hallmark of a great friendship. Also, I'm not really interested in one-night stands. I'd like to make friends. If something else comes from that, I'm not afraid to embrace it.

If you'd like to hit up some sort of ethnic grocery store.
