Fine Arts degreed, subsisting on odd jobs.
Curious, analytical, pragmatic but soft edged. Well-read but broad-focused.
Well-intentioned loner: randomly, selectively social.
Laid back, friendly, affectionate smart-ass.
Feeling simultaneously inferior and superior to everyone I meet.

I am DIY, iconoclastic, and voided warranty

Learning all I can about your strange land,
Embracing cynicism, fighting pessimism,
Daydreaming about patterns, loops, coincidence,
Learning to cook and be thrifty, to minimize wastefulness,
Watching things grow,
Writing music, drawing diagrams,
Drumming, Didjing, Vocalizing, recording it,
Building a new network of friends and acquaintances,
Planning my next break from my old pathology.

Drawing, drumming, dancing,
Using every utensil in my kitchen when trying to cook one thing,
Misplacing things, forgetting to finish my senten
Sounding like an expert on topics I know little about,
[removed]
Listening and offering alternative perspective to your dilemmas,
[removed]
Making up new words to songs on the radio,
Finding the sources of obscure quotes and samples found in collage music,
[removed]

Probably that I'm talking to myself or humming a tune.

Usually I feel invisible, but then I'll have some kind of awkward interaction with a stranger and realize it's not true.

I'm a bit of a daydreamer and the here-and-now people often mistake me for a here-and-now person. Awkward moment ensues.

You tell me, what is it about me that has captured your interest thus far?

Books: Philosophy, non-fiction, self-help, education, aesthetics, sketchbooks, diatribes found lying in the street.
I like some fiction, but fantasy not so much: I read to investigate reality, not to escape it.

Music: Cacophonous synthetics, french-fried samples, deeply layered instrumental textures. Rhythm heavy bombast, genre-defiant novelty. Organic electronics, eclectic grooves and rootsy guitar driven jams. Psychedelic freakouts. Introspective lyrics. Music for loners and freaks. No whining, no bling-bling, no clear-channel favorites.

Movies: Existential drama, audience confrontation, quirky indie comedy, cult animation, seminal classics.

Food: I eat it. Make it extra spicy, por favor.

Do what without?

As a child, I was an imaginary friend.
