About Me
Usually I wait for people to ask about me rather than just volunteering information about myself, I mean who knows what someone is going to be interested in, right? And it's quite tempting to just say, like many people do, that I can't be bothered, because my real life is too interesting. But if you can't be bothered to write something about yourself then how are you going to be bothered to do anything? Are you going to be bothered to write, text, call? Are you going to be bothered to make space in your life for someone? Are you going to set aside time to spend with them?
Or are you just not going to make the effort, because you shouldn't have to. You can wait for ages for someone to ask you the right questions. This is actually much better than telling people things in person. At least in this medium you don't have to look at their face suddenly go blank when you try to explain to them your job, you don't have to bear the sweet, but insincere smile as they think about something totally different to what you are talking about, and if they are really not interested they can always save their precious time and scroll down the page looking for keywords and names of movies and bands (which they aren't going to find on mine, since I dont actually like any, well that's not true exactly, but I don't see the need to worship any and most all have their merits). If you are really going to be interested in someone because they are interested in the same crap as you are interested in then you really don't need to meet anyone new.
Also I don't think there are any particularly good bands. I think good music is random. Writers write a whole bunch of songs and play them to people and they wait to find out which one is good. The more songs they write the more chance that one of them will be inspired. This is why most bands only have 1 or 2 good songs and the rest of them are fillers. We only get attached to the other songs, and hence the band itself because we are forced to listen to the filler songs along with the good songs and hence it becomes familiar and what is familiar we develop a bond with. Awesomeness runs through everything in hills and valleys and no one can achieve awesomeness at a constant rate, because then the hills and valleys lose their definition and become average. And average means lack of high points. If you can't find the beauty in music taste and genres that you aren't familiar with then its because you've grown up on metaphorical junk food and probably haven't put in much effort in life generally. That's quite a sweeping statement and I don't mean any disrespect to you personally I'm just saying you should always have an open mind and not cling too tightly to the things that you think make you you. Because they aren't really. You make yourself you. And the more you can recognise the awesomeness in others the more you can achieve awesomeness yourself.
Sometimes I don't think I'm doing anything with my life. Then I'll speak to a friend and they'll say, "Andrew you do so much how can you say that?", "You don't need to do anything else you're doing plenty". I think sometimes no matter how much you do, at some point it still becomes not enough. You still feel there could be something more, there should be something more. There's something I'm not doing. Then something inspires you briefly like a small light at the end of a tunnel that you glimpse. Sometimes its something you thought you could never do or would never want to do. You choose your response .. "It's too hard", "It's too expensive", "I won't be good at it", "I dont have the time"... The correct response is: "I don't care, I'm doing it!". I think it's true that, sometimes, the best time is not now, but it's also true sometimes it's now or never. Just don't ignore that inspiration, always remember what inspired you. You will get stuck and you will have obstacles, you will get hurt, your ego will suffer blows, you will give up, you will return, you will give up again, you'll embarrass yourself, you'll do something stupid, you'll go the wrong way, you will get to a dead end, but you will also find your way out of it. You'll make new friends, you'll lose them, you'll connect, you'll be part of it, you'll belong, and you'll be left out. You will live. Sometimes we don't know why we do something we just know we need to do it and we'll find out why later. To quote a famous swing song "It's not what you do it's the way that you do it". Find the essence of what you are doing, find what makes it special, find out how you can make it better. We all have something significant to contribute, just being there is what counts everything else is a bonus. If its too hard, maybe you are trying to hard, use the momentum, use the situation, involve others, let the right thing happen on its own.
I'm really good at saying the right thing at the right time. Although the other person or people may, or may not, reasonably interpret it as the wrong thing at the wrong time, I usually can't help myself. I'm getting better at knowing what I can get away with and what is just plain funny. I act differently around different people, perhaps it comes from being a Gemini (probably just a coincidence). All it takes is for one more person to be in a room and my behaviour will change to include them. If there are too many people listening then it can be a bit stressful to stay in the zone, it depends on how well you know them all. I am a good listener. I don't believe conversation is about giving and receiving information, its about acknowledgement and being heard. You don't have to be interested necessarily in what the person is saying or what exactly they are talking about (although it helps). You just have to be interested in the other person.
The only reason I'd really list my favourite books is if I were recommending them to someone. Most of my favourite ones I quite obscure anyway so listing them wouldn't really be that helpful. I also find that books you stumble upon yourself in a charity shop or on Amazon or something like that become much more meaningful to you than ones recommended by other people. I think you can identify with them more than books that you already pre-identify with someone else. I don't read books for entertainment. I read them for the knowledge and sometimes wisdom, not that I ever remember half of what I read. The other reason I read is to get closer to the author, I want to be more like them. You can get to know someone really well by reading their book. You learn how they think and you can start to think like them. So just pick a something you you really want to know written by someone you really respect and read it, yeah?
I love music, but the list of songs I like are too embarrassing for me to list. Well some of them are. Actually most of them. I like Lionel Richie. There, I said it. Wow that was like coming out of the closet, I feel so free now.

First Date
I'd try to get to know you, however much you are willing to share. I'll also try not to eat the food off your plate, because I hear some people don't like that! :)
