My Life

About Me

I am reading this book called Guns, germs, and steel that my friend Erika recommended. Yeah, feeling pretty scholarly. Recently I followed my friend Ryan up a two pitch trad route at Lover's Leap, I almost dropped a cam. Oh and I blew $130 bucks at REI on Saturday, new set of quick draws... Haven't been traveling much lately and i'm getting withdraw symptoms.

My Interests

I like traveling alot. I haven't been to Asia yet, but I hope to remedy that this winter(wop Thailand is cool). I am terrible at languages, but I like them. I play the guitar alot, but have determined that I am fairly bad at it unless I am imitating Shane B, and I got tired of that. I like alot of different kinds of music.

I'd like to meet:

Neil Diamond because he wrote this "you are the words, I the tune, you are the sun, I am the moon, play me".

Music:

I just listened to a Sun kil moon a little bit ago, other than that i am stuck on Radiohead, the OK computer cd, I know it is a little old. the Decemberists, Sigur Ros, Ryan Adams, Arcade Fire, Low, Joshua Radin, Sufjan Stephens, Athlete, Over the Rhine,

Movies:

I keep watching I heart Huckabees. Constant Gardener, What the Bleep do we know, Everything is illumiated, Born into brothels, the grizzly man, The sting, Garden state, robinhood,

Television:

i watched every episode of 24 that was available last fall, that is 5 seasons in 4 months. I know, you are impressed. But seriously that is about it.

Books:

the decline of the west , atlas shrugged, a new kind of christian, the fountainhead, the poisonwood bible, i'll admit it; Lord of the rings and other tolkien stuff, on the road, varieties of scientific experience

Heroes:

Hank Rearden, Betty Bop, Kid A, Nostradomus, my dad,
