into: Live music performed by people who actually know how to play an instrument, unnecessary road trips, amateur psychoanalysis and prophesy

not into: excuses, self-pity, any attempt to justify inconsiderate behavior

makes me happy: a sense of accomplishment

makes me sad: anything I conceive to be a personal failure ...and paperwork. I fucking hate paperwork.

hobbies: making excuses, wallowing in self-pity, attempting to justify inconsiderate behavior

5 things i can't live without: Steam distilled microfiltered H2O, wide variety of listening options available at all times, awareness of the existence of other bitter yet hopeful hippies like myself, adequate transportation, and quality literature or the means by which to produce it myself

vices: Paint Fumes, Comic Books, and Overpriced Scotch

occupation: Part-time penniless philanthropist, Full-time Pariah

current crush: Gwyneth Paltrow's legs

stats: Short guy, thick glasses and an empty wallet...

body mods: Love Handles, Slightly crooked nose due to numerous fractures, Various scars to remind me of my own carelessness and stupidity

heroes: Dr. Ernst Gräfenberg

gets me hot: Self-awareness and personal accountability. ...Humor and talent go a long way, but so does a smooth, firm ass.

fantasy: Living a life in which I get adequate respect.

sign: Leo, Horse...bossy AND stubborn...the best of both worlds.

most humbling moment: Realizing I had become a clichéd tree hugging hippie protester, then rebelling against my own rebellion by spending six months and several thousand dollars at the Exposé.

I AM LOOKING FOR: whoever comes along

MY KINK FACTOR: I will pee on your dog while wrapped in clingfilm.

I WANT: Friendship
