provisionally untitled
curious, not restless.
cynical, not misanthropic. no drama, like mary j said. * YEA: exploration, design, urbanism, my bike, the beauty of decay, things that used to be, lists (can you tell?), wearing sweaters, rooftops in the summer, PBS, making stuff, affordable housing, the prairie school, organic architecture, rainy days, indian food, el taco veloz, danish modern, mixtapes as works of art, eavesdropping on the el, el lissitsky, playful banter, dancing like i mean it, knowing that i don't know. * NAY: apathy, boorish bus behavior, humid nights, video games, network news, poorly made shoes, coffee, impressionism, being pigeonholed, #70, my sedentary peers, neighborhood provincialism, procrastination, teardowns teardowns teardowns. * I... + was a Teamster in 1996. + am tired of the notion that sincerity is a dusty relic of a bygone era. + seek a partner for trips to somewhere or nowhere; as cliched as it sounds, I really do want to see it all. + enjoying being rooted but experience routine bouts of wanderlust. + often get lost in my thoughts but always manage to find my way out. * YOU... + are warm, kind, considerate, and sufficiently irreverent. a dose of street smarts doesn't hurt either. + don't have to be an eco-warrior, but you recycle, shop locally, only drive if you have to and are generally conscious of what your dollars support. + are independent but still emotionally available. + constantly look outside of yourself, your people, your zipcode, and your comfort zone for things novel, challenging, inspiring. + hope to leave the world a better place than you found it. + don't mind becoming friends first and going from there. EssayThe advice I would give Mayor Daley is: retire. please. One thing I hate that everyone else loves is: coffee; i know, scandalous! One thing I love that everyone else hates is: taking the bus. If I could have a dinner party and invite any four people, dead or alive, the guest list would be: William Julius Wilson, Antoni Gaudi, Robert Parke, Jesus (as in, did he really mean to start such a ruckus, or what?) My favorite Chicago haunts are: Tecalitlan, the J&M, Loyola Beach, Tom Ping Park, Pilsen The first thing I do when I wake up is: wish that I didn't have to get out of bed. If I could change one thing about Chicago, it would be: the discomforting level of segregation. The first thing I look at in the Reader is: straight dope! The last concert I went to was: the notes and scratches (a final sendoff). Two books everyone should read are: the sheltering sky / paul bowles; when work disappears / william julius wilson Two albums everyone should own are: the beach boys / pet sounds; new order / power, corruption & lies Fill in the BlankIf you have a pet, it better not be wall-mounted newspaper/beer/records is my favorite way to end an evening. The quickest way to my heart is the surefire combination of wit and kindness The quickest way to my bed is the same, though a few drinks certainly won't hurt and in the morning, I like my eggs cooked elsewhere; I'm not a huge fan The person I'd like to tell off most is Michele Bachmann; or is it Netanyahu? nope, definitely 53% of Maine's electorate. too much sriracha makes me sweat. Two things I can't live without are music and my friends I consider myself an open-minded person, but my deal breakers are social conservatives and Hummer drivers My PreferencesLollapalooza or Pitchfork Cats or Dogs McCain or Barack Glad about the Olympics or Mad about the Olympics Art Institute or MCA Whole Foods or Trader Joe's Grab a Red Eye or bring a book for the commute Lincoln Park or Wicker Park Steak or sushi IKEA or used Movies or Live Theater Dinner and a movie or Pizza and a rental Empty Bottle or Metro Email or letters Reckless Records or Best Buy Chicago tap or Poland Spring Gym workout or bike ride Instant Message or Text Message PBS Frontline or PBS Mystery El or Taxi Print News or Web News Beer or wine |
