I spend a decent amount of time thinking about where I want to go on vacation.

Since I have battled some major health issues over the years and knowing that we are all working with borrowed time, I stay away from game-playing, bullshit, and rotten people. If you are into any of the above listed, we can't be friends.

*Not dying. I do not know why people read this and automatically believe that I am, but I'm not.*

I'm not a good liar. My facial expressions and eyes give me away every time.

I'm often a few minutes behind schedule.

I worked in the music industry for years. That was a terrible idea.

Whale Wars makes me cry, but most situations involving people have little effect on me...except for when they involve children.

Heads-up: I have tattoos. Like, more than one or two and not one of them is a tramp stamp or on my ankle.

When I have time I am a contributor and content editor for a music website.

I want to stand for something.

If humor can be found in a situation, I will find it.

I grew up performing in musical theatre and absolutely love to sing.

Enjoying it.

Making people laugh. Listening. Picking out awesome gifts. Music selections. Approaching things in a diplomatic fashion. Researching. Going with my gut. Losing hours.

My eyes, or so I have been told.

Authors: Augusten Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Klosterman, Audrey Niffenegger, Hubert Selby, Chuck Palahniuk, Tom Robbins.

Movies: The Big Lebowski. Fight Club. Dancer in the Dark. A Bronx Tale. The Burbs. Grandma's Boy. Control. Plenty of others.

Music: Anything that makes me feel*. For example:

Muse. Joy Division. The Postal Service. Death Cab for Cutie. Pink Floyd. The Temptations. Ray Charles. Black Flag. The Sex Pistols. Jimmy Eat World. Weezer. Massive`Attack. City and Colour. Kings of Leon. Bjork. Brand New. Iron and Wine. And plenty more. A shit ton of hardcore and punk, mostly old school. The new wave of the so-called hardcore bands are incredibly lackluster, though there are a few`exceptions.

*Getting lost in a song is just about my favorite thing in the world.

Food: I like all sorts of food, so long as it is considered vegetarian. Or absolute junk.

Time spent with my daughter.

A place to rest.

Music.

Moments in time that still themselves in your head.

Any opportunity to learn.

Coffee and conversations.

Rooting for the underdog.

My daughter. Space. Time. Evolution. Vacations.

Either working or stoked over the fact that I am not. It's usually the former.

Every day I tell myself I'm going to delete this page but never do.

You're not crazy. Weird, idiosyncratic, innovative, and/or passionate? Sure, that's cool. Just don't be crazy. It's sort of a deal breaker.

Also, anyone with kissy face/peace sign/etc pictures need not apply. It's bad enough when females post them, but men? C'monnnn.

You're not into clubs or packed out bars. They're not my thing and I wont pretend like they are. I would much rather have a great conversation over a pint in a smallish bar with a great jukebox than be forced to hang around dudes with popped collars and shotgun-blast-to-the-head haircuts.

You're a dreamer.
