I grew up in the Fort Wayne, and I hate it here. I plan to move
back to Oregon or California as soon as possible. Or maybe Mexico.
Or Japan. Or...
I'm looking for friends while I'm here. Not really looking to date,
at least not seriously.
Figuring out my next move.
Pretty much everything I put my mind to. Too bad my attention
span's so damn short.
I've been told that I always look like I just woke up and realized
where I am. This is often not far from the truth.
I grew up reading Heinlein and Asimov, but my imagination has moved
on. I like stories that make the world seem wonderful and
mysterious like it did when I was young. My current favorite is
Wind, Sand, and Stars by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. Particularly
chapter 6.
I don't watch many films. I still think the original Star Wars
trilogy are the best films ever made. Terminator II is another
long-time favorite. I liked the new Star Trek, mostly because the
casting was so amazing. Other films I like, it seems most people
either hate, or admit they simply don't get. Films like Children of
Men and The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human...
I'm bored with most of my music. Recent discoveries that are still
tolerable include Rocky Votolato and Blitzen Trapper. I often
return to the timeless solace of
guitar instrumentals and Iron & Wine.
I also play guitar a little, but I suck. I learn about four bars of
a song, then get bored with it and start learning a different song.
Simultaneously, I'm learning to transcribe music and engrave it
using LilyPond. I quit playing WoW again recently, so perhaps I'll
practice more.
I'm an unrepentant carnivore. If there's one food I could eat every
day forever, it's
sushi. Other favorite cuisines include
Thai, Korean, and Indian. But I'm usually too lazy too prepare real
food if it's only for myself, so I mostly subsist on ramen, frozen
pizza, and
cheeseburgers.
Friends in far-away places.
How to achieve my dreams without compromising my ethics.
What I'd regret not having done if I were to die tomorrow.
Repeatedly mashing the Stumble button.
You miss human contact, you want to drink coffee and play
Arimaa, or you're just as
bored as I am in this shithole town.
