I am thoughtful, wearing a sweater, and not a republican.

My Self-Summary

i'm 26, and still looking for what i want and what i can have. i elevate the absurd and awkward to the plateau of an art. i despise capital letters and capitalism.
Now in French
il y a une fois, je suis ete prof d'anglais, directeur d'un restaurant, programmeur du web et windows, eleve, ivrogne, ecrivain, auteur.

What I’m doing with my life

i'm a freelancer. copywriting, editing, proofreading, blogs, web and windows application design; if it's made of or by words, i'm all over it.

my dream, since i was young, is to be a shepherd. honest, ask my sister. i have no idea how that's even possible today, but i'm keeping my eyes open.

I’m really good at

predicting the future
wrestling bears
making things up

The first things people usually notice about me

sometimes they notice my eyes.

sometimes my sarcasm.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

books: it's been so long since i've read any fiction. mostly these days it's been political, environmental, economic, and social.

movies: disney's robin hood. i still identify with the rabbits.

music: the rolling stones are my beatles, but mostly i listen for the sounds and not the lyrics. radiohead, weezer, les claypool/primus, tryo. i haven't listened to music radio in a year.

The six things I could never do without

learning deeply about other people.
occasional extended time away from electricity and clocks.
my conviction that compassion and love are stronger than contempt and hatred.
the bitter honesty of friends.
a roll of quarters.
the urgency of now.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

the dangers of capitalism and how to find social value in a commodified world.

that time i had a fever and imagined that i smashed a mirror with a radio, and the shards of glass rained down around my bare feet with the weight, speed and danger of snowflakes, throwing light around the room. that one comes up a lot in my mind.

how i really miss my high school backpack.

On a typical Friday night I am

avoiding the bar scene.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

i bite my nails.

You should message me if

you're sick of waiting for me to message you.
