I'm not going to lie. It been a rough year for me. I don't have many friends left in Philly and I went through a brutal breakup about 10 months ago. Things have been dark and sometimes it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. That said, I've used the time to write music and get in shape. I'm heading in the right direction, for sure.

As my post history indicates, I've been using Reddit to try to find lovers. I haven't tried looking for friends here. Honestly, I need both.

I've met a few cool people from the internet over the years but they are hard to find, it seems. Whether you're interested in friendship or love, I just need you to be genuine.

A little about me:

• I have a good job designing software for a giant, evil health insurance company. I work from home in Center City, Philly.

• I’m an indie rocker and generally creative. I write songs and letters that don’t suck. I’m prepared to defend that statement. When we match up, I’ll send links to my music if you’re interested.

• Philly is my default city. Over the past 20 years, I’ve lived in Philly, NYC, Upstate NY, DC, Czech Republic, Israel, Houston… I was a consultant, so I moved around a lot. That said, part of me dreams of escaping the city to someplace with water, trees, and parking.

Here are some things I like:

• Movies: Wings of Desire, The Jerk, Secretary, Reuben & Ed, Sid & Nancy, Bill & Ted, Harold & Maude, Blade Runner, Annie Hall, Rear Window, Zombieland, Better Off Dead, Scott Pilgrim, Shaun of the Dead, Spinal Tap!, Pootie Tang, Can’t Hardly Wait.

• TV: Bob’s Burgers, Always Sunny, Game of Thrones, Dexter, Community, Troy and Abed in the Morning, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly (pretty much anything sci-fi), Sherlock, MST3k, I Think You Should Leave, Fleabag, Broad City, Baby Billy’s Bible Bonkers, What We Do In The Shadows.

• Books: (Lots of the classics) Salinger, Kundera, Confederacy of Dunces, To Kill a Mockingbird (Fun fact: this was written by Bruce Lee’s sister, Harper.), Day by Day Armageddon.

• Bands: Haywood, Archers of Loaf, Seam, Softies (Those are all 90’s indie bands), Elliot Smith, Wet Leg, Frightened Rabbit, Phoebe Bridgers.

I don't usually favorites, though. It can feel like a kindergarten activity. "So what's your favorite color, little Billy?"
