I am loyal, opinionated, and often wrong.
My Self-Summary
Go to work. Come home. Go to the
gym. Come home. Go to
band practice. Come home.
Listen to
records. Go out. Buy
beer. Come home. Weekend: make
pancakes. Play a
gig. Go to the after party.
Drink too
much. Spend all day Sunday wondering why I feel so bad.
What I’m doing with my life
Studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Exam as a means to
get a job doing international businessthings between an English
speaking company and a Japanese company.
When I'm not studying, I'm either practicing, playing a gig or
recording with one of two bands. And when I'm not doing it with one
band, I'm doing it with the other band.
My current job is interesting, but I'd much rather be cooking for
eight hours a day.
I’m really good at
cooking
spending money
procrastinating
cycling (or was, I
haven't had a real bicycle for going on three years now)
The first things people usually notice about me
In Japan: "oh, you can speak Japanese so _well_!"
In America: "you've lost weight!!"
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
magazine: Cinema Sewer
movies: The Jerk, movies directed by Terry Gilliam, movies directed
by Stuart Gordon, movies directed by Luc Besson, movies directed by
David Cronenberg, a handful of movies directed by Lucio Fulci or
Mario Bava (even I can't get into Cat In the Brain).
music: random bands from my record shelves & ipod - Oingo
Boingo, Destino Final, Rezillos, Ramones, Guns N Roses, John
Coltrane, Wu-Tang Clan, Paintbox, Thelonius Monk, Government Issue,
Iron Maiden, Motorhead...really, most of my life is focused on
music, so I could go on forever.
food: Hot dogs, cheeseburgers, pizza, General Tso's chicken,
tempura, burritos, tacos, tamales, stromboli, fried chicken, mashed
potatoes, collard greens, pulled pork/chicken/beef BBQ, ribs,
Turkish food, chana masala, pakora, samosa...as a former very fat
kid, make any of these for me and I'm yours.
The six things I could never do without
Water
A stereo
Passport
General Tso's Chicken
warm socks
A towel
I spend a lot of time thinking about
what I am doing with my life and how close/far I am to various
points of no return.
On a typical Friday night I am
at the gym, then at home and in bed by 1.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
one of my feet is flat, while the other has an arch.
You should message me if
you find me mildly interesting.
