I just moved to London from the States, where I have lived all my life (but never in one place for too long). I was in Washington DC for the last 6 months and prior to that I lived in New York City (infinitely better than DC). I grew up in and around Chicago and have also lived outside Detroit and in Connecticut. Only after moving to London did I realize that there aren't any British people here. Weird.

I like going to concerts, exploring the city, lifting, running and cycling, reading, and checking out new bars and restaurants. I stay out late and get up early. My body hates me.

Buying and selling companies. No, really.

Outside of work I travel whenever I can, hit up art museums (favorite in NYC was either the New Museum or the Whitney; favorite in London is probably the Tate Modern; DC had no good art museums, sadly), read, and teach myself things (e.g. building a computer, fixing a bike, etc.).

Organizing information. Multitasking. Dragging my ass out of bed. Cultural zeitgeist. Trying to do too much.

Avoiding deer while riding a motorcycle. Keeping said motorcycle on the road after avoiding the aforementioned deer, not so much.

My voice is deeper than you'd expect.

I listen to music all the time, but recently I've been into Dead to Me, Deadmau5, and The xx. More generally, I'm into punk, ska, indie, jazz, and electronic music. I judge people who say they like all kinds of music without any substantiation, or say "anything but country". It's such a cop-out.

Concerts attended this summer:
In DC: Ratatat, Alkaline Trio / Saves the Day, The Gaslight Anthem / Pela / Good Old War, The National, The Hold Steady, Nine Inch Nails / Jane's Addiction, Plain White T's (in my defense, it was free and I had nothing else to do), The Aggrolites
In London: The Bronx / Mariachi El Bronx, Polar Bear Club + A Wilhelm Scream
Upcoming: Dillinger Four; Gallows

I'm always reading something. Right now I'm in the middle of re-reading "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. Favorite authors: Salinger, Kerouac, Klosterman, Diaz, +more

The last good movie I saw was Up. I'm not going to lie, I love Pixar movies. Other favorites: Easy Rider, La Haine, American History X, Rebel Without a Cause, Igby Goes Down, Paranoid Park, Wristcutters: A Love Story, The Wrestler, Entre les Murs (aka The Class)

London has ruined breakfast for me. Seriously, breakfast food here is crap. What gives? Also, it's really difficult to find good peanut butter. Go to a Waitrose or a Sainsbury or Tesco or M&S and check out the peanut butter. You'd think you're eating peanuts, right? Wrong. Peanuts and palm oil, even in the organic varieties. Whole Foods is the only place I've found so far that sells good natural peanut butter--i.e. peanuts and no additives. If I want crap in my peanut butter I'll add it myself, jerks.

in-ear monitors (think headphone/earplug combination)
physical activity (lifting, running, cycling, tennis, sex, whatever)
white t-shirts
music (playing (drums), listening to, watching live)
adventure
books

My next big project/goal. Currently: marathon (on hold due to injury), getting my motorcycle license here

Aesthetics, memetics, and what makes specific works of art/literature/music/movies "great".

These days I've been working a lot. If I'm not, I'm usually out either seeing a show, checking out a new bar or restaurant, or just hanging out with friends. I've decided I need to go out in Shoreditch / Hoxton more.

I don't really like celebrating my own birthday. I don't know why.

you don't take yourself too seriously. People on this island are pretty high-strung. I don't know if it's the latent class anxiety or what, but it's perplexing.
