Your Notes
Edit your notesI am curious, courageous, clever, and considerate.
My Self-Summary
i describe myself as a hard cowboy bastard, which is a lie. i have
a handful of close friends who i think are way more interesting
than i am, but i guess i must be pretty interesting too, if they
all like me. lately, when i let my mind wander, it always bee-lines
for a place where people fight bears. i don't know why.
What I’m doing with my life
bartending, wandering, reading, pondering, still trying to figure
out exactly what i am and where i should be. trying to avoid
becoming a total cliche. writing sentence fragments heavy on the
gerunds, apparently.
I’m really good at
enjoying a moment, telling stories, making people feel comfortable,
forgetting what i was supposed to be doing.
OH! and making really bizarre, overly complicated metaphors. they make sense eventually.

The first things people usually notice about me
i'm not sure. i've had a lot of friends tell me that i'm too loud
sometimes, especially when i'm excited about something. i imagine
that sort of thing would be noticeable.
SOME people i've known have also accused me of STRUTTING. as i am rarely in a position to observe myself walkin' from place to place, and this isn't something i've heard from a lot of people, i can neither confirm nor deny that i do this thing.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food
eugh. . . ok, top 9 off the top of my head because (a) i don't feel
like digging through and making comprehensive lists and (2) because
i'm slightly OCD about the number 9 (thanks a lot David Mitchell):
books:
The Sun Also Rises, V., The Once and Future King, The Sea Came in at Midnight, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles, Cages, The BFG, Number 9 Dream
movies:
Lost in Translation, The Parent Trap, RocknRolla, Rushmore, Spirited Away, Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, Amadeus, The Cruise, Old Boy
music:
Jim White, Dj Shadow, Aphex Twin, Belle & Sebastian, Massive Attack, Buck 65, Paul Simon, Air, David Bowie
food:
i'm pretty much a garbage disposal; i'll eat just about anything. though i always like it better if it's spicy.
also, Mushi-Shi is one of the strangest, loveliest things i've ever seen. i'm not really sure how it ever got made, much less translated, dubbed, and stuck up for free on hulu. lucky me, i guess!

The six things I could never do without
tabasco sauce, euphemisms, books, hats, tom scharpling, stories.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
parallels, metaphors, stories, humour, my friends, my family,
language, the differences in the way each person experiences the
world around them, style.
also, my entire approach to bartending essentially grew out of receiving one exorbitantly priced, astonishingly weak, lazily made, tragically pathetic bloody mary - and deciding then and there that i would strive never to be THAT bartender. so, while i do think a lot about how to make the best drinks i can in general, i spend an untenable amount of time thinkin' about new ways to tweak my bloody mary and make it even perfecter. (hint: jalapeno infused vodka is an unfair advantage.)

On a typical Friday night I am
hanging out at a friend's house, restaurant, movie theatre, bar, or
other place of interest. probably not at home.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
i'm sorry, but i just think this question is really weird and
vague. what constitutes "private"? am i supposed to write something
here about my sex life, or my family life, or my inner imaginary
life? am i supposed to reveal something potentially
embarrassing?
see, the thing is, i'm a pretty open person - for the most part if you ask me about it i'll tell you. so i can't honestly think of anything i could write that would constitute some kind of "admission."
uh, i still have a stuffed monkey in my room that i've had since i was like three. is that good enough?

You should message me if
you enjoy long meandering conversations that never resolve
anything, you have good taste in music and or movies and or books,
you like to have a cocktail or a beer now and again, you are
genuinely enthusiastic about something in life, you're the type of
person that will interrupt me in the middle of a story and run off
on a tangent, you can relate to "i had the blues, but i shook them
loose" (that's tribe called quest, by the way, i can't take
credit).
