So for the sake of sparing you my somewhat precarious hold on writing and my use of a thesaurus, here is a quick, and grammatically obtuse as possible rundown of me.

I am goofy, sarcastic, remarkably huggy (everyone gets a hug, no exceptions or notes from mom), musical, compassionate, honest, honorable, straight-forward, easily amused, disciplined, non-judgmental, easily amused, chill (unless the situation calls for diferent), and extremely hardworking. I also don't put up with games, drama, cruelty, and tend to avoid the "This is what is cool right now/I should do this because that's how you are supposed to experience life" way of thinking.

I also tend to write longer emails (more than a couple of sentences). If I correspond with you, it's because I have genuine interest in getting to know you better. That being said, why not type a bit more than "you should"?

I'm a musician/composer/bartender. I try to maintain my cliche, but it turns out to be more difficult than I thought it would be. It might be because I lack "Musician" hair... At least I have the tattoos.

Placing myself in awkward situations, being me, self-control, making dangerously good martini's and other alcoholic concoctions, and getting injured/being a klutz. I have separated my right shoulder four times, and have some fun scars. Martial arts is fun.

I am pretty sure that the usual train of thought goes something like this...

"Hey, that guy has a lot of tattoos."

and if I know you it tends to expand on that likes so...

"Hey, that guy with a lot of tattoos is hugging me. Oh, it's Drew. Hi Drew."

Anything by Christopher Moore and Dante. Just finished the Bhagavad Gita, , now it's "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov, next on the list is finishing Dante's "La Vita Nuova". This is all amidst bartending and russian language books.

As far as music and movies go, I can't for the life of me remember everything, but for the sake of names: Thrice, Dear Hunter, Kevin Devine, Manchester Orchestra, Sevendust, Dethklok, Iron and Wine, Ryan Adams, Joe Pug, Nick Drake, Will Stratton, Sufjan Stevens, Peter Cincotti, Monk, Brecker, Julian Lage, Puccini, Orf, Metalocalypse, Venture Brothers, The Office, South Park, Sword of Doom, Evil Dead 2, Sanjuro, Seven Samurai, Drag Me To Hell, Night/Day Watch, Mongul, Dr. Strangelove, Young Frankenstein, Shaun of the Dead, Dead Alive, What Dreams May Come, Donnie Darko, Pan's Labyrinth, Dark Knight, and so on...

I have been known to sing along to Joanna Newsom.

In the same key.

Terrifying.

Oh, Sushi, Thai, Greek, Tiramisu, Raw, Vegan/Veggie, and mostly paleo/caveman stuff. I eat super healthy.

Getting ready to play shows, Marketing, Training/Martial Arts, Learning Russian, Portland, If the owls will come out and talk to me tonight...

Who knows, but I always end up doing something it seems. Even if it's a lone adventure into the night.

I have a web comic. It's about the awkward moments I have had and continue to have in my life.

Porcelain dolls, and anything that looks remotely similar, creep me out like nothing else.

You have a good/genuine/honest soul who does not pretend to be something they are not.

That being said, I would also like to meet people who post the worst possible pictures of themselves available. Put your best foot forward, then lug the other one along for a laugh.

You know the difference between their, there, they're, your, and you're.

You live in Portland, Oregon.

You know what a Lagotto Romagnolo is... WITHOUT the google.

You are above 70% my enemy.
