“The only absolute truth is that this is the only absolute truth"
I posted this as a profile on a social website before I committed myself to city-livin'. I enjoy this as a snapshot of my proclivities, an insight to pre-tsd me, and an amusing look at what I used to think passed as cool.
To be concise: I am an open-ended, transchronological, multimedia artist/musician with hyphen-over-usage-disorder, and a special place in his heart for philo-sci-fi, mischievous language, and tactful appropriacy.
You ask me what I am doing with my life. I am reprogramming for optimal performance, giving in to irrelevant media intake, writing on white-boards, making sandwiches, drinking coffee, impromptu group psychology experiments, babysitting twenty-one year olds, turning esoteric scenery into photography.
I’m really good at giving impartial opinions. I also have a talent for self-reflection, forgetting where I place oft-used objects and biking uphill.
How do I stimulate my senses? I’ve read and thoroughly enjoyed Siddhartha, The Man Who Folded Himself, Brave New World, and Inverted World. Movies I like saying are my favorite are Lock Stock Two Smoking Barrels, Ocean's Eleven and The Waking Life with Freaks and Geeks and Top Gear BBC being programs I will always watch more of than I should. This Will Destroy You, Talkdemonic, Nujabes and The Album Leaf satisfy my instrumental fix while Minus the Bear, The Strokes, Elliott Smith, MF Doom, are admired lyricists. I also love anything pickled, anything spicy, tequila sunrises, or a good porter.
If there were six things I could never do without, they would be my situational awareness, my math ability, a little bit of money (just enough to match a favor), a pen, a tune in my head, somewhere to go.
I spend a lot of time thinking about motives, bass lines, perception, typography, the ghost in the machine, "The Future", effective and efficient solutions to modern problems, the power of synchronicity and accumulation, dichotomies, coincidence v. fate, interpersonal dynamics with consideration to growth and impressionability, what my next bike is going to be.
It’s Friday night, and I’m looking for something to do. Usually, I read a book. I draw people on buses, I admit it. I also admit to enjoying double entendres, accepting challenges, craving meaningful conversations, doing caffeine, and having questionable adventures and giving off an aura of “screw you, don't talk to me.”
