Frownland

I'm a tall college male with brown hair and brown eyes. You've seen them one, you've seen them all. Apparently I look like my father, so that's what makes me somewhat decipherable.

Apart from that, I'm mostly independent and introverted. When I'm with my friends I can do some crazy ****e, but when I'm new to people, I need some time. I suppose that most people are like that, though. I prefer to do most things on my own, and will only ask people to help when I actually need it.

I listen to avant-garde music for most of my day. I go on the computer and listen to it in the morning, put it in headphones and listen to it at school, work, or elsewhere. I also make quite a bit of it. I have over 600 recordings of either my band Wolves In Sheepskin (aka WISK) or of myself playing either theremin, guitar, saxophone, trumpet, clarinet, violin, feedback, throat singing, piano, keyboard, bass, or some instrument that I made from **** around my house. All of these are sometimes provided with vocals.

I write lyrics for my vocals often as well, in a black book that I keep on me for when I get ideas. I've sort of used up all of the vocals that I have at the moment in one fifteen minute song already, though, so I'll have to write more soon. I also write some literature, but I've fallen out of the habit with school and work.

I work at a mortgage company that's one of the larger ones in San Diego, but I work for the funding department as an intern. My bosses are really nice and throw amazing parties and events for the office quarterly.

I go to school at Palomar College, where I am getting my general education, which I then would like to transfer to a university. I plan to do this next spring, because I only need sixty credits and I have my fall semester planned out to compensate for that. My major will be journalism with a public relations focus, which should get me a very good job. My great uncle on my mother's side works in the field for a big company and he says that he has a lot of free time on his hands because the company is rarely ever controversial. I'd love to do that because it would give me time for music and writing.

I live right next to my school with my parents. I'm staying with them because the location is good for me being able to walk to school, being that I don't drive. I plan to get my licence before the end of this March because my parents will give me a car if I do.

On me not having a car, I haven't really cared that much about getting to places. We have a very good train station and bus station next to my house that's only about a dollar a ride, and there's a lot of cool **** within walking or biking distance, plus it helps me get exercise. Exercise is something I've sort of fallen down on, I haven't gone to the gym in a couple of months.

I'm a big fan of movies as well, which is why I try to watch at least one movie a week. However, I've been watching a couple of episodes a week of Lost lately, and that kind of interrupts it.

I try to be nice to people for the most part, but I come off as an ******* sometimes because I don't engage in conversation as easily as some people do. The people that I hang out with realize that they're going to be made fun of if they're doing something hilarious though, which makes some people not like me that much.

People like how genuine I am. I'll try not to bash a song if I can tell that a friend liked it, because that'd just be rude. If they ask my opinion on the song, I'll tell them the truth though.

Sometimes I feel a bit loony, like some form of mental disorder is hiding from me and it won't engage until I'm thirty. My drug history which included two overdoses did somewhat mess with the way that my mind thinks.

I do smoke pot quite a bit, but I don't do it when I have anything to do like a test or driving. I also drink, but I've decided to cut back on that in the past week. I have a pretty tight Gandalf-style pipe and I just got my medical marijuana card too.

I'm a big fan of nature. People who buy into **** about aliens don't realize just how crazy the world can be. I see things from a different perspective since my overdose and the world looks pretty strange on this side of the mirror. I've found that if you pay attention to the most commonplace parts of nature that you just ignore after having seen it, you will notice something foreign looking about it. Or maybe I just like to play mindgames on myself.
