About Me:
I'm perfect, of course! I mean I haven't performed any miracles lately but...
Seriously, though. I'm definitely a bit twisted and enjoy it (most of the time). Hard to describe without writing some overly narcissistic essay. heh. I'm a bit loopy, a dreamer, and a dork. Have a pretty healthy (if somewhat off-beat) sense of humor - especially about myself. I'm a musician (upright and electric bass) so I've got a passionate/romantic side but I also have a strongly cerebral/political side. Mostly an indoor person though I love taking walks at night just after it's rained and the streets shimmer silver montages of colored lights...

Who I Want to Meet:
MUSICIANS MUSICIANS MUSICIANS!!!
I tend to prefer non-traditional folk - left of center, etc. Quirky, odd, freaky, artists, musicians, poets, geeks, dorks, etc. Especially those in the arts - painters, musicians, actors, etc. Hit me with a new view on life and I'll see if I can bounce back. (And I'll definitely try!)
P.S. I'm not exactly here for dating [insert long boring, drama-filled story] but I would like to cut down on the number of "HOW TO FIND WOMEN" sorts of ads and especially the recent rash of women from around the world (Singapore?!? BWAH!?!?) asking me to randomly friend them. I suspect that the latter are of the 'bot variety.

Testimonials and Comments for Toshio
Tosh's acquaintances who's never been
his roommate, I can't comment on his
personal habits, but I can see that he
has the soul of a poet, the talent of a
muse, the face of an angel, and the
mind of a reprobate. We need more
people like that.
housemates! he was very helpful
during my one alcohol-laden summer.
but, sorry, i still think whiskey
sours are gross. would you like to
try my whiskey-chocolate cake with
bailey's frosting?
insaneee and mmmaaaad not angrry mad but
crazy mufucka type mad u know the people
that ur mother tell you to stay i way
from he isnt it, he is too nice but
still mad so verrrryyy maddddd
graduation, we pretty much parted ways.
(For the record, I graduated in a
Mexican wrestling match, he in leather.)
We reunited when I was temping at the
same place he was employed. I was
walking up Boylston and I saw this
person and though, "how odd, a gay Asian
cowboy in Boston." Then I realized it
was Tosh.
best 1.5BR apartment in all of
Somerville, which we polluted with
2.5BRs of cigarette smoke. He took the
0.5 BR, but eventually spilled out into
the LR, which is only fair, I suppose.
He has since quit smoking, but he still
lives life a bit on the edge in other
ways, which I admire. His most recent
stunt was to move to New York (without
a job) to pursue his musical ambitions,
so I am expecting great things from him
before long.
