I'm a musician/composer/graphic artist currently residing in Phoenix. I play guitar, bass, harmonica, recorder, double bass, and piano. My portfolio is available at matveimediaarts.blogspot.com

I drive many of my friends crazy (in a good way) because I am an anarcho-libertarian, and they don't get it. :) I oppose the Government at every turn and seek maximum individual liberty. I consider myself a deist, and don't care for organized religion. (I tolerate it, though-and enjoy a lot of religious music/art/literature) I have some very controversial opinions, but I try to be civil about it.

I apply the principle of non-aggression and voluntarism to relationships as well. If someone doesn't want to be with me, I won't force them to. :)

Since the job market is dead, I'm currently unemployed. Sites like this help me keep in touch with folks and get others' insight, which I enjoy.

I tend to be the quiet type, but that changes when I'm in the right mood.

I'm kind of an exercise nut-I exercise every day (weights and walking/jogging). It boosts my performance as a musician and makes life easier. :)

I'm mostly looking for friends now, as I can't financially support a significant other. (if I happen to find one, that would be nice, of course) When things turn up, I'll begin looking more seriously. Turn-offs include pretentiousness, blind partisanship, whining, Statism, collectivism, welfarism. Turn-ons include humor, intelligence, compassion, objective morality.
