Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I moved to Philly a few months ago, by way of Austin, Texas (17 years), with a brief stopover in Santa Fe, New Mexico (1 year). The extra two years are from being born and living on a houseboat in the San Francisco bay.

My body is 15% wanderlust, 15% internet, 5% headbutting, 5% getting punched, 20% wingnut punk, 20% nerd, 10% hippie faggot, 5% burrito, and 5% alcohol.

Today marks day 5 of project "Burnout", in which I smoke weed any time I am not at work and sober. I spent the day using StumbleUpon, finally settling at looking at pictures of kitchen sinks. I predict my only venture outside will be for indian takeout. I might make gin and tonics. Running low on weed; the project may soon come to an end.

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Maybe going back to college, maybe dying at a young age in a dumpster in San Francisco, maybe settling down and becoming old and grizzled and boring. Mostly just having fun.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I'm excellent at being introverted, but I'm also very good at yelling. I chalk it up to general social dysfunction. I'm also pretty hot at videogames and photography. And stitching. I motherfucking love to stitch.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

The fact that there's blood streaming down the side of my face. Did you get in a fight or something, dude? Yeah, but you should see the other guy. Why, did you fuck him up? No, man, he was a total babe. I would've hit that in a minute if he hadn't been punching me in the eyebrow.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

I only read comic books unless I'm on the road. Which is rarely. Grant Morrison's Animal Man rules. So do Tom Robbins, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the Watchmen.

My favorite movie ever is Brazil. I love camp and exploitation. Vampire Hookers is an amazing movie. So is Forbidden Zone. Oh, and the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin is the best movie theater in the world, bar none.

The music list is hefty. It all centers around punk, folk, indie, black metal, early emo, and all things DIY. A few bands: SHELLSHAG, Bomb the Music Industry!, The Big Boys, 1000 Travels of Jawaharlal, Judas Iscariot, Defiance Ohio, The Pixies, The Door-Keys, Minor Threat, I Object!, Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains, Mannequin Makeout, Modern Life is War, The Soviettes, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb, Witch Hunt, Youth of Today, Matt & Kim, Paul Baribeau, Cap'n Jazz, The Mountain Goats...

Food: I'm vegan. If I'm poor, I go freegan and occasionally dumpster dive for foodses but it hasn't happened in a while. Anyhow, I'm very very enthusiastic about food. It's the only thing I spend money on aside from beer and shows. My roots lie in tex-mex; burritos, tacos, nachos, and such. I will get angry if you admit to eating at taco bell. I also have an affinity for asian food in general. If you've been to Veggie Heaven in Austin, TX, you might as well have visited my actual personal heaven. My diet these days, though, is usually a sandwich from work, then general tso's tofu from the place across the street. Oh, and tofu scramble. And, god willing, tofu hoagies from fu wah.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Burritos.

Just burritos.

And maybe legs, I like those. They make it easier to go places.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Travelling again.

People.

Photo theory, sometimes.

Headbutting.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Friday night is just as unpredictable as any other night,and I dread the day when that isn't true.

If you mean general night time leisure activies... it's often somewhere between adventure and urban exploration, movie-watching, drinking, loitering in 24 hour coffee shops, playing board games, seeing bands, and sleeping.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I'll admit to anything, as long as I did it. I have very little shame.

Also, I admit that I am a goon.

HERE LIES THE TREASURE

You should message me if Propose an edit

You want to travel the world with no budget, or just want to put me up for a night when I do. And maybe convince me to stay for a week. It's the best feeling in the world when someone tries to make you stick around with them and you can.

Or if you want to sit on a deck or porch and smoke and talk about game theory and stupid/brilliant ideas and themed mixed drinks you just made up. Bonus points for crude remarks delivered in deadpan.

If you want to get me in on a scheme, maybe something that involves holding a sign in public? Or breaking and entering? You fucking message me now.
