Also, please try to IM me if I'm online.

I am a musician. A singer/songwriter/keyboard player. Music is my life and anything artistic is usually interesting to me.

Well, I'm hoping to pass the GED tests soon and get a car, as well as a job. I didn't do well in high school, so if you have high expectations of someone who graduated, don't come looking for me. That is not to say however that I'm not educated and doing well for myself.

Other than that last slightly self-deprecating paragraph, don't let that distract you! I am overall a very nice person who is happy most of the time, or at least generally neutral, and can adapt to most any situation. I like both being around people, and spending time home alone. Sometimes I can be incredibly lazy and sleep until 2 or 3 PM.

If insomnia is a problem for you we may have to work something out.

I am not looking for anyone who has an attitude or thinks overly highly of themselves. If you're super preppy and listen to the top 40 and love the Jonas Brothers and think Diddy is an "artist", you should probably stay away from me.

Overall, I'm a chill, passive guy who just wants a real relationship with someone who doesn't take any bullsh*t or fall for any of it either. If you started babbling about "Oh my god, I love Madonna" or some crappy person like that, I'd probably walk away. Where has music gone these days?

Anyway, anyone with high or unrealistic standards shouldn't bother talking to me. I'm simply a real, down to earth, and humble person. We're all only human, don't expect me to be your Superman. All I can offer is caring and understanding and a real passion for anyone I can connect with.

Also, if I send you a message, PLEASE send one back. I consider it rude not to, even if you're telling me you're not interested in talking to me.

No one overly feminine or full of themselves, please. I don't take conceitedness as a fun or cute quality, it's not worth dealing with. No drama for me. I am masculine and would prefer the same.

When it says looking for a man, It means man.

I'm very low maintenance. I don't know what to say, I like to watch movies on the couch, listen to music, go out into the city occasionally [SF]. I'm not a big people person, but those who know me know that I'm nice, and a sincere person. If you've come looking for a hook up or a passing relationship, keep looking. It ain't me. I can be serious, funny, philosophical, stupid, smart, insane, quiet, calm. Everything a person usually is. I'm a bit eccentric. Certain aspects of my sense of humor aren't considered normal or appropriate by some people but hey, life is what it is. :]

Talk to me sometime. Get your feathers ruffled.
