My self-summary
Dogs are gross and I don't love to laugh. Hee hee.

I really like anti-intellectualism. It's so appealing. But complexity and intricacy are sublime.

There is a painting I am going to make and welding I will do, a building I will build and a still-picture film I will assemble.

I recall being very startled by cold baths. I romanticize drunks, to my peril.

Art galleries and small plays thrill me. I like reading the news, trying to understand music, and trying to regain my youthful love of challenge and growth. Languages are great.
What I’m doing with my life
I am working on a few projects:
Theoretically starting a youth center in Brownsville, writing a play about inter-generational love, finishing my book on forgetting and building a machine with wooden gears. There will be an equestrian portraiture series soon, too.
Can't we fix lots of things in the government?
I'm a doctor.
I’m really good at
dusting off, hooting and hollering
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
moby dick, la virgen de los sicarios, cheri, torture garden, a better angel, the dialogic imagination, the story of the eye, the work of art in the age of mechanical production, notes from underground, the geopolitical aesthetic.

On a typical Friday night I am
watching movies about crying and self-torture
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I dislike Melville's Pierre.
That, after age 11, I began defining myself increasingly by my sexuality and less by more interesting things. That I retain a nostalgic sadness about that, all the while being as perverted as the next guy, grappling for relevance in the world.
I think I need to spend more time crying.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 24–38
  • Near me

You should message me if
If you wanna go to some galleries with me.

You want to make broken-electronics collages with me.
You like hugs.

What drives me to date and seek out women is two-fold, the branches of which are sometimes at odds and then occasionally in concert, and when so, possibly divine: on the one hand carnal pleasure, on the other, a sense of belonging and purpose that comes with companionship.

If you are tolerant of "one-liners" as an opening, to see if you might have any interest at all, asking only that you say hello. A more involved message can follow.

You don't think it's an interesting and novel idea to make a project/piece out of your experience online dating.
