Show me a path I haven't been down, and I'll say "Cool! Let's check it out."
Point to the lights that are busted out, bathing the path in darkness, and I'll say "Ooh, spooky! Let's keep going."
Say "Hey, what was that noise?" and I will pull out a crazy steampunk contraption of gears and lenses that turns moonbeams into lasers, and with it melt the flesh of whatever it was that dared to go bump in the night.
Translation: I'm into everything. Rather assertively so.
Music
You don't have to like the music I like, just LIKE music, in that extreme and swoony junior-high sense of the word "like".
Movies
"When the child was a child,
it didn’t know that it was a child.
Everything was soulful,
and all souls were one."
- Wings of Desire
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
- Ferris Bueller's Day OffTelevision
Freaks and Geeks never deserved to be cancelled.
Bush Mechanics is the best TV series no one has ever seen.
All news is now satire. All satire is now news. The only thing to do is look at yourself and laugh.
Books
I've read Invisible Cities seven times now.
My childhood favorites were Stuart Little and Sloth's Birthday Party.
If I'd read The Little Prince as a child, that would have been one, too.
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou - when most of the world is underwater, will it really be this peaceful and serene?
"The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea." - Vladimir Nabokov
Heroes
Just for one day.

I also play keys, guitar, and melodica. I make burbling squelchy noises on the laptop, or use it to wrangle immense numbers of dots and lines into something resembling a string quartet. I make field recordings.

Blurbs
About me:
.."If I were able to live my life anew,In the next I would try to commit more errors.
I would not try to be so perfect, I would relax more.
I would be more foolish than I've been,
In fact, I would take few things seriously.
I would be less hygienic.
I would run more risks,
take more vacations,
contemplate more sunsets,
climb more mountains, swim more rivers.
I would go to more places where I've never been,
I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans,
I would have more real problems and less imaginary ones."
- Jorge Luis Borges
Who I'd like to meet:
Travellers, not tourists.People who dance or sing through life...
"We thought of life by analogy with a journey, with a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end.
And the thing was to get to that end.
Success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead.
But we missed the point the whole way along.
It was a musical thing, and you were supposed to sing, or to dance, while the music was being played."
-Alan Watts

BANDS: I can vouch for every band on my friends list - not only are they great musicians, they are great people to chill with. Meet me first, then friend me!

Thanks for the add,
I had SO MUCH FUN in KC!!
Maybe we can all meet again
at next year's Fringe?
Still very sad I missed the show though, we tried so hard to get in,
and I had to leave early the day
everyone else went to see it...
I had an awesome time with you guys,
nonetheless.
Good luck and maybe I'll see you in Austin sometime soon!!
Kisses,
