I am enjoying my job and am happy to be taking a break from the college chaos. I enjoy drinking, singing, and playing music. I am a semi-serious guitarist and am always trying to learn more about it and spend lots of time jamming with friends. I am a terrible pianist and really have no interest in learning more about it, which means I might never be allowed to teach music in a professional setting because all they ever want is people who love classical and fuckin' Bach-y Mozart-y bullshit. Maybe I would be good at giving guitar lessons though. I have an extensive vocabulary and am a voracious reader. I really like to spend a lot of time online, but still like to go out and watch films and eat dinners at restaurants occasionally, or go sing karaoke like a jackass in some local bar, or forget about the karaoke and go to the bar anyway and just get incredibly tanked.

Paying off my student loans very slowly, working for a telecommunications company, living alone in an apartment, and drinking like a fish. Learning to cook, and trying to cook healthier foods. I also like to ride my bicycle around a lot. I was a commuter during college and am totally sick of constantly driving everywhere when I could just walk there or ride my bike. I also spent way too much on gasoline and consider the past eight years to be the worst time in American history to have been a college student. It feels like kind of a mistake. The way I did things worked out pretty well, but I should have made some better decisions. At least I'm not still living in a car. I guess that's doing better. I'm also always looking for new STL friends on Twitter!!! Read my tweets and be my friend: http://twitter.com/rockkevinrock

Playing the guitar and singing, making people laugh, turning people on, throwing a fuckin' pawty!!! Making pizza dough from scratch. Going for really long walks or bike rides, I can go all day.

I guess people seem to notice my sense of stylishness. I like interesting clothes and shoes and t-shirts with funny things on them. A new BFF recently told me that I seem like a really geeky sort of guy, but with a bit of a "rocker" side to my personality. I wear glasses and have really curly hair so I usually straighten it out or keep it cut really short.. I have several piercings although I don't always wear the jewelry (just trying to look more professional at work), people always notice those. When I'm on stage doing karaoke or practicing music with my band the first thing people notice about me is that I'm very confident and comfortable with my voice and enjoy singing for people and have a lot of fun with it. I've always been into screaming and yelling and lately have been trying to practice growling and grunting so I can do more of a death-metal sort of thing.

Fiction: (Nick Hornby, Tolkien, Brian Lumley, Stephen King, Anne Rice, Clive Barker, Arthur Clarke, Isaac Asimov, JK Rowling, Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury, Poul Anderson, Robert A Heinlein, Roald Dahl, HP Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, Ian Fleming, HG Wells, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, Colin Wilson, Norman Mailer, Chuck Palahniuk, Bret Easton Ellis, etc.). I guess you can tell I like sci-fi and horror and beatniks and surrealism and dramatic sorts of themes. Non-fiction? I read a lot of that too. I read a BUNCH of different webcomics during my breaks at work, just ask and I'll be happy to tell you which ones. Music: pretty much anything, rock, metal, pop, punk, country, reggae, classical, hippies, folkies, songwriters, 80's, girl bands, performance art, electronica, radio stations, file-sharing, mp3s, etc. Movies: horror, comedy, action, sci-fi, westerns, vampires, werewolves, zombies, classics, but yeah sometimes I watch the tearjerker sort of movies and I cry like a little emo!!! Food: I love Asian, Italian, Burgers, BBQ, coffee & espresso, tea, juice, water, etc.

Aside from the basic survival sort of things, I like to have some sort of entertainment going on around me at all times (that would be music or films). Also enjoy good food, tasty drinks, having a job, having money, and having sex (although I've been really lacking in that department for quite some time, anybody wanna help me out with that?). Yeah, that's six.

Actually I think a lot about what I'm going to do after I finally finish paying off these damn student loans. I've really got nothing tying me down so I might just get up and walk around the whole world. Sell everything that doesn't fit into a backpack and just hit the open road. But I do love St Louis, I grew up around here, I just sometimes think I'm going to catch the travel bug and start exploring and getting curious. Go on some adventures. I might try to go back to school eventually, if I want to keep going in my current profession I might have to get a degree in communications or some sort of technical thing or engineering or something. I sometimes think I could make a good music teacher if I just tried hard enough. Or a guitar tech or studio recording engineering or record production (I like to tinker with parts and modifications and sound design and computer recordings and microphones and synthesizers).

I have been too reclusive lately, although I do go out on weekend nights a lot. I haven't stayed in touch with old friends and really ought to get back to that. I ought to go spend some time in my hometown because since I moved to the city I haven't gone back and there might be people who would be surprised to see me. Usually I'm trying to find new places to hang out here in the city. In the summers sometimes I go biking down the Katy Trail and spend time camping.

I sometimes do "80's girl songs" when I'm out doing karaoke, and my friends say it's the most ridiculous thing they've ever seen.

Do you like music? Do you want to go out on a date? Do you want to hit the trails and ride bikes with me? Are you looking for someone to have some fun with? Do you like to party?!? Do you need a drinking buddy? If you answered yes to any of these questions then by all means please feel free to contact me.
