I am electrified, lousy with momentum, and distracted.

My Self-Summary

I am sixteen tons of fresh-roasted Indonesian coffee.
I am wearing flip-flops.
I am trained to write pretty words.
I am enjoying living in Memphis.
I am locked out of my car, again.
I am literate, rarely articulate
I have a thing for girls in glasses.
I have a thing for girls who read more news than I do.

Listen. Seriously. I've recently been paying attention to Yo La Tengo's records, and I've come to the conclusion that I really should have been paying attention since the day I saw Janeane Garafalo introduce "Sugarcube" on MTV. That was a really good day, but the network has only gone downhill since Kennedy left.

What I’m doing with my life

I graduated with a Bachelor's in creative writing from Ball State University. Unsurprisingly, I'm not making a living with that degree.

I am, however, scrounging a living with some freelance graphic design, but that's mostly layout. I don't make the art, I make it look good in a brochure.

I also work for a Web design/online marketing firm.

On top of that, I write for a geeky public radio blog.

On top of that, I write (what I think is, at best, passable) poetry.

On top of that, I'm a singer-songwriter. You could probably guess that I don't really have time to play out much, but I'll play whatever show I'm asked to play. Especially if I get paid.

Also, I just shaved off my beard. I feel naked. And cold. So cold.

I’m really good at

Poetry.
Reading poetry.
Breaking things.
Trivia.
Balancing pretention with accessibility.
Singing the Powerpuff Girls theme song while sprinting to the rescue.
Elaborate, slow, but thorough dish-washing.
Irrelevant cultural references.

The first things people usually notice about me

"That guy sure is emphatically affectionate when he's been drinking."

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

The six things I could never do without

1. A decent cup of coffee.
2. Macaroni.
3. Tony Hoagland's collection of poems, "What Narcissism Means to Me."
4. A decent record.
5. Ultra_velma's will to help me stop smoking.
6. A way to play that decent record.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Who is Lamar Sorrento, and why does his art adorn every possible surface in Memphis?

On a typical Friday night I am

Early evening, I've fallen asleep watching "The West Wing" or "Mad Men." After that, I'm awake and drinking another cup of coffee and playing guitar while waiting for something to start happening. Fridays are my relaxed, creative, and aloof days.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I don't watch TV. It's not a political thing, it's that I cry at bad TV and sappy commercials.

You should message me if

You can best me in an argument.

You can best me in an argument while looking hot.

You can best me in a game of Monopoly without resorting to shady corporate dealings.

You can outwit me in a game of chance.
