not looking for anyone else right now, message me if you want a friend but thats really it at the moment :)

================================

photography geek but not a photographer, piano player but a musician only on my off days; i embrace self contradiction and try my hardest to incorporate impossible dreams into every hour.

right now im going through an underground electronica and indie phase -- but i dont think musical discussion should be a dickwaving contest. all genres are interesting and have their appeal, except for country. fuck country.

i love to dance but the conversation afterwards is the real pleasure. im equally content being packed in a crowded dark room with hundreds of sweaty people or sitting on the roof smoking with a few friends.

facebook, not myspace. cats rather than dogs.

and nothing beats a good rain.

disclaimer: if you think that im taking any of this really seriously, you probably shouldnt message me.

right now post-college and tearfully working for the man, using my occupation as less of an end and more of a means for seeing everything i possibly can.

im an addict to traveling and have been diagnosed with clinical wanderlust; i waste nearly all of my money on frivolous pursuits of alcohol and strange locations.

i attempt to punctuate my day to day with small doses of surrealism, and if i dont discover something out of the ordinary by the time i go to bed i consider the day wasted.

sometimes i take musical notes and put them together and get things resembling melodies and then set those melodies to a beat and occasionally people dance to them. if they're drunk.

i also am very good at falling downward on snowy inclines and occasionally head out west to find even sharper inclines to fall from

im actually a vibrating ball of energy, usually when people see me they go "holy shit youre a vibrating ball of energy"

joyce, marquez, and tom wolfe are old favorites, but my real guilty pleasures are pulp stephen king horrors....the cheaper the thrills the better.

the situation is the same with movies -- while id love to say that i watch ultra esoteric black and white french foreign films, my favorites would remain crappy 80s teen flicks and good pulp action. american beauty is cliched as hell; does that make me cliched as hell for enjoying it?

with music i meander to whatever bright shiny thing catches my eye

www.last.fm/user/efpete if youve gotten this far

my kitchen, my cuteoverload bookmark, my keyboard, my skis, my exploration, my easily distracted mind

where ive woken up and how exactly im going to go somewhere else

avoiding being a stereotype of any nature but due to the post-work euphoria and alcohol interacting with my brain probably failing miserably at that

im motivated to create an okcupid profile more out of a morbid sense of curiosity than anything else

youre looking for an occasionally witty guy, a closet fratboy as well as a closet geek, someone to go to shows at the black cat or rock and roll hotel not because the 930 club has sold out but because you prefer to be up close to the music. i find it hard to take things seriously -- especially internet things -- but who knows my mind could perhaps be changed ~
