Cubist impression of me ... I am a first generation immigrant. I love pictures and music. I have the uncanny ability to predict the past. I have travelled. I work in the field of medicine, but it hasn’t monopolized my persona (I promise I won’t mention hemoglobin…before the second date). I’m just like you, except I sometimes mistake an island for a peninsula. Existential crises are not unknown to me. I value family and community. I am biodegradable. If you are kind-hearted, open-minded, and have considered your own mortality, let’s talk. If you 'love to laugh', are looking for a sugar daddy, or are in any way affiliated with the anti-cruise, please move on. Things we may discuss on the first date: myself, yourself, brunch, fires, fisheye lenses, Nabokov, Cminor7th, didgeridoo, the Hallucinogenic Torreador, the East, the West. Quote of the day: “The cranium is a space traveller’s helmet. Stay inside or you perish”.-VN

You will take the key in your hand and carefully lock the chains around my hands, arms, legs, and ankles. Once you have made sure the chains are secure, you will toss the key into the water. You will then blindfold me and put a large burlap bag over my body, tying it tightly. Finally you will push me off the pier into the lake. You will wait with baited breath and be astonished as I emerge from the water in thirty second's time unshackled, clutching a crimson rose between my teeth! (if I'm not out in two minutes, call someone because there's probably trouble).
