I am pain, pleasure, and plenty ready..

My Self-Summary

On most days, I wake up and feel like tying myself into a pretzel and shoving my fist into my mouth. I'm hoping, if this were possible, the muscle strain and aching jaw and laughter upon viewing myself in a mirror (upside down, through the middle of my legs, of course) would distract me from my general confusion about life.

I need people. Who else would be there to salt me and hoist me to a mirror?
Pleasure and pain bring truth.
You supply the pleasure and pain...I'll discover my own truth.

What I’m doing with my life

Working. I call businesses all day on behalf of other businesses. I want to know if people at the businesses I'm calling want to take a survey, or go to a seminar, or hear a salesperson talk to them about a product being introduced to their industry. I solicit and read interest for a living, which in the business world is known as qualifying and generating a lead.
I'm in marketing. I am required to know a little bit about a lot and to talk about whatever little bit I know like I know a whole lot more.
People at my job are persuasive, quick-thinking, communicative, creative, theatrical and psychoanalytical. I'm sure they would say the same about me.

I’m really good at

Cracking jokes that few understand
Drinking micro-brewed beer
singing (they paid me for it at college)
writing
playing piano
selling
acting
smoking (still perfecting that art with the American Spirits, blue pack)
laughing
smiling
paying attention to children/animals/homeless people...and everyone/everything else that everyone else just naturally ignores.

The first things people usually notice about me

my eyes
my smile
my lips
my hips
my...

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Scarface
The Last House on the Left
A Few Good Men
The Devil's Advocate
Hairspray
I'm obsessed with Bollywood movies ever since traveling to India.

My CD collection is epic. The pile is vast and numerous. I favor ambient/experimental, alternative, funk, neosoul and metal music.
Some favorite artists: Aphex Twin, Belle and Sebastian, Sade, Brazilian Girls, Smashing Pumpkins, Fiona Apple, David Bowie, Van Hunt, Bjork et al

The six things I could never do without

Beer
Music
Poetry
Teddy (his ear is transparent)

sex ad infinitum

On a typical Friday night I am

Playing pool/dancing/drinking with friend/s. Noone
1. loves pool more than me
2. is worse at it

when we get sick of each other/I get sick of them/I get sick of my own voice

I go home.
I keep my own company very well.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

is that I have so many private things to admit.
Everything is nothing and nothing is everything.
My reality, my mind, my world is as expansive as the universe and as micro-cosmic as a single cell.
It's exhausting, but fun and never dull.

You should message me if

smart, sexy, beautiful women entice you.
congratulations! You may be the last on earth.
Let me be the first to shake your hand.
We can keep each other company and re-populate the world.
Just kidding.
