My wife says I lie to the world about who I am. So here’s the truth…

I am painfully boring and I have no friends. I pass my time busying myself with more hobbies than any normal person should. I enjoy cooking, and working with my hands. I try to make everything from scratch. I don’t know why. But should the apocalypse ever come, you’ll thank me for taking the time to learn to sew a pair of socks. On any given day it’s not uncommon to see me making a pot of homemade soup while walking around in a tool-belt looking for something in which to pound a nail.

I’ve recently learned to love reading, almost as much I love bragging about how much I read (which is not a lot). My favorite new word is “fastidious”. I’m not a smart man or even an educated man. In fact, if I were to go into a sports bar there might be speculation as to whether or not I’m a man at all. I enjoy working out yet I can’t so much as throw a ball, much less name anyone who throws one for a professional team.

I love music, but I’m not a music snob. I may not always know who will be the next big, up-and-coming underground band, but I recognize every piece of vintage electronic gear their music was recorded on by ear. Yes, really.

I play guitar, but I’m more of a connoisseur than a musician. Meanwhile, my alter ego/best friend, “Vinyl Mitchie” can be heard DJing “Club Spare Bedroom” 5 nights a week for an audience that includes my wife, my guitars and my homemade furniture.
