My Self-Summary

--last altered 10:08pm 10.17.2009--

Twenty-six and living in Charlottesville. I work at a place that pays me. Those pictures up there? That's what I look like.

I'm keeping this profile open even as I seriously examine my own openness to an actual relationship at present, let alone my actual ability to sustain one. A lot of soul searching to do, as it were. You thank me for sparing you the details.

What I’m doing with my life

Ah, the direct approach. Since you asked, I moved to Charlottesville in August '06 to play in a rock band. Then that tanked rather unexpectedly and left me to focus on personal creations rather than collaborative. Make of that what you will; I'm quite interested to see where it goes.

On the whole, I'm recently making an effort to stuff as much activity as I can stomach into the spaces not spent sleeping or in a cubicle. Be it known that "activity" here includes reading in coffee shops and intense bouts of introspection along with the requisite nights on the town, various and sundry creative endeavors, and gym patronage. These days I find myself keenly aware of time's relentless passage and thusly compelled to fight tooth and nail with my procrastinatory nature. Sometimes I am successful.

I’m really good at

Tickling the ivories, apparently (I make no claims of virtuosity, but I can hold my own). Crafting a cohesive, listenable song. Cooking an acceptable vegetarian meal, when necessary. Defending opinions. Avoiding sleep.

The first things people usually notice about me

Eesh, color me stumped. Upon meeting someone new it usually doesn't take me long to embarrass myself. So, probably that.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I've avoided filling this bit out long enough. Here are five, no, ten of each:

Books: The Lord of the Rings, American Gods, Good Omens, Watchmen, The Grapes of Wrath, Slaughterhouse-Five, The Dark Knight Returns, House of Leaves, The Prophet, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius

Movies: The Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight, The Seventh Seal, The Fountain, Citizen Kane, Children of Men, Pan's Labyrinth, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, City of God, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

Music: Nine Inch Nails, Peter Gabriel, Sigur Ros, Bright Eyes, Portishead, Amanda Palmer, Dead Can Dance, The Decemberists, Mos Def, Bad Religion

Food: Anything and everything to further dispel the myth of the necessity of animal products

This was ludicrously difficult, and doesn't come close to an accurate cross-section.

The six things I could never do without

Music (which I hesitate to include given its misplacement as necessity by so many). Reason. The perpetual possibility for self-improvement. Wikipedia. Any work of (any kind of) art I have not yet consumed. Hope without regard for logic.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How to make a piece of music I'm constructing actually work (conclusions thereupon scarcely being reached at anything resembling a convenient time). Peak oil. The imminent zombie uprising. How neato it would be to have a TARDIS. Ways to un-dissolution myself towards politics and working for positive change. Why so many of my waking hours have to be devoted to building course books for MBA students (I allot around 40 hours a week to thinking about this).

On a typical Friday night I am

thankful for not having to be up at a respectable hour the next day.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm quite certain that I'm quite delusional.

You should message me if

you read this far and still think it worthwhile. But not if you just skipped to the end. I'll know.
