Photos, Rhythm, Books, Weird, Learn

I work at night at a grocery store stocking shelves for an evil corporation. I graduated college with a Theatre degree and write plays etc. but have had no success. Yet. I love walking briskly around the city and taking pictures. I love all things autumn. I love empathy. I love to ride my bike. I love writing songs and recording them. I am a movie addict sometimes and sometimes I'm a music addict and even other times I'm a book addict and sometimes all of these times intersect. I sometimes delve into things I don't like so I can understand them better. I obsess over every side to a story. It's difficult for me to accept stubbornness or finality in a viewpoint. I love to laugh when something's funny or when I'm particularly nervous or ashamed. I can be terrible at getting things done or I can get things done in a frantic high speed, obsessive pace. I love to cook and create almost every meal at home. I love hiking. I love skiing but never get to go. I love adventure. I love going to a bar and shooting pool until it closes. I have slight social anxiety and blush a lot. I come from a Catholic upbringing so I'm sensitive to guilt and pity and I'm sometimes too forgiving. I believe and practice in many Buddhist ideals but keep an atheistic and scientific mentality. I have a TV I've never turned on. I listen to the radio and read contemporary and classic literature as much as I can as well as plays and books for research. I'm told I'm fun to pick on. I'm deathly afraid of people with no sense of humor and hide from them. I enjoy blankets from time to time. Love the rain. Outside a lot.

Deeper

If you could have a dinner party and invite any 4 people, dead or alive, who'd be coming? Kurt Vonnegut, Steve Martin, Joanna Newsom and Diane Arbus

Where are your local haunts? Yukon Tavern, any movie theater, concert venue, library, the streets...

What kind of person are you attracted to? Laughers, shy people and passionate enthusiasts.

What songs would be on the soundtrack of your life? Probably all the songs I've recorded.

What bands do you always find yourself talking shit about? Nickelbackites, Modest Mouse and fucking Muzak.

Where else have you lived and what brought you to Portland? Raised in Phoenix suburbs to Austin's outlying hill country to here because I'm most attracted to the Northwest environment but I adore that ocean and eating all of the creatures who reside.

If I could only eat one type of food for the rest of my life, it would be: Cauliflower.

Fill It

I consider myself an open-minded person, but my deal breakers are bigots and religions that lead folk to ignoring reality.

Design your ideal mate: the brain of Margaret Atwood and the body of a human being.

Something I said I'd never do but did anyway was work for an Evil corporation.

The first section I turn to in the Mercury is film,theatre, music, savage love, or the first page.

The quickest way to my heart is being able to compliment yourself. The quickest way to my bed is running or walking briskly. And in the morning, I like my eggs cooked over mid to hard on a bagel with cream cheese and lox. A tomato. No capers.

The Thing I hate about Portland is? the....um....suicide rate? The thing I love about Portland is? the mountains, the water, the city, the hikes, the people, the neighborhoods, the wildlife, the plants, the grafitti, the weather, the bike paths, the busses, the sidewalks, the bridges, the zoo, the parks, the food, the bookstores, the libraries,

It's Sunday morning at 10 a.m. If I'm not still sleeping, I'm just going to bed.

The last concert/show I attended was... Fleet Foxes

My favorite junk food is... cookies

One sport I will never get is Keno.

Great sex calls for lots of laughter and cheeky exhuberance.

The last time I made an ass out of myself, I took a picture and unfolded.

When stuck in gridlock I don't remember what this means. I suppose I would roll up some spitballs.

My guiltiest pleasure is procrastinating.

My picture(s) reveal that I am a well-respected man about town, doing the best things so conservatively.

I want to make a t-shirt that says If we are not confused then why all the partitions?

My beverage of choice is milk served icy cold.

If I found a million dollars on the side of the road, I would take ten and buy a falafel sandwich.
