More about me:

Let me preface this by saying these things inevitably end up being all about "I" - to the point where "I" can seem like a totally self-centered douche. "I" am not one of those despite what follows.
I've come to realize in the last year or so that I'm one of the most unsuitable people you'll find on any dating site if you're interested in a normal relationship. I abhor downtime - I'm always doing something. I get up and out at the crack of dawn and don't go to bed til well after midnight. There are things to do, people to see, music to be made, music to be heard. I am a former z-list rock star, so you will have to endure a lot of stories 'about that time I was in Poland with the band and this guy bla bla bla...'. I am not shy; I have no shame. I will often get home at midnight and record a stupid cover song, put it on myspace music or reverbnation and marvel at the fact that people listen to it. I'm in two bands - one sucks but is fun and the other is too hip to be understood by mere mortals.
I like my life a lot and I like meeting new people, and I have absolutely no expectations when it comes to dating. I laugh at the world because I've come to realize that almost everything in life is truly inconsequential, but I take the things that do matter with grave seriousness. Ask any of my friends, they will tell you this is the God's honest truth.
Generally, people think I'm nuts because I do things my way, I think they're stupid because they do not.
For example, in college, I turned down an offer for a fellowship in economics, dropped out and went on the road with a punk band. Everybody thought I was insane. It was the best decision I could have made, because the life I've had since then has been absolutely epic. I have enjoyed great success as an artist both creatively and commercially and wouldn't change a thing. (admittedly, I am considering finishing my degree next year).
As a nod to personal ads, I will say that I do like camping and moonlit walks on the beach - but haven't done either since I was like 11. But I *do* stuff, I don't just write about it.
After reading this, you may agree with the 'you need serious help if you are interested in dating me' thing I put up there^^ at the beginning, but in my defense I will say this: I'm one of the most reasonable, thoughtful, generous and kind people I've ever even heard of. I'm told I'm funny, though I think it's more because I find myself in situations that make other people laugh more than because I'm a comedian. I'm not needy or challenging to be with, I have lots of friends and know how to keep them.
On the subject of friends - that's more or less what I expect from dating websites and I am always open to making new ones. If you feel so inclined, shoot me an email.
