Is it the folly of hope to find wisdom in chaos?

About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Hmmmmm..........About me.....Well. It's always impossible for me to think of what to write on these things. I'm a human, pagan, male of the homo-sensual persuasion. I enjoy a variety of environments and wouldn't say that I have a specific "scene". I've been many things in my life and intend on being several more.I tend to enjoy writing, reading, and creating art. Though I definately have a tendency towards being a homebody, I do also enjoy going out with friends and clubbing and dancing until four in the morning. I tend to go through phases.I ultimately see myself a spiritual person and strive to live my life accordingly. Notice I said spiritual and not "religious", there is a huge difference. Currently I am working in retail to pay the bills(hoorah!). I am excited to be back in school and working towards a degree in comparative religious studies with an emphasis on mythology,folklore and symbolism. Don't know that I'm sold in the comparative religious approach just yet. I could just as easily go towards and English or Anthropology major as well. My final goal is to become a professor and publishing author in these fields.

My Interests

Reading, Writing, The Arts, Speaking Aramaic Backwards, Dancing, Independent film, Good Music, Sincere People, Wicca, Paganism, The Occult and Magical Arts, Mythology and Folklore, Acting like I'm Cool, Playstation 2, Driving long distances in reverse, Pretending that I'm a Narcoleptic, Getting Dressed and Undressed Repeatedly, Throwing Salad Forks at Children, and Random acts of Randomness.................HOORAY FOR GANYMEDE!!!

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meet interesting people in the GR area and the world abroad. I have already met some wonderful people through my travels in life that are some of the best friends I could imagine. I hope to meet more of the same.I am usually drawn toward people with an intellectual nature, creative talent and open mind. I enjoy the company of spiritual and passionate people.I tend to find myslef attracted to others with similar passions. When it breaks down though, I really enjoy the lessons of all kinds of people. Cute boys, cute girls, cute androgyns, tall people, short people, people with hot bodies, people with large asses, people with one eye and people with three, and people who are forced to take heavy doses of medication to supress their psychotic urges (okay, that one's a lie). I'd like to meet you, your mom, your brother, and your cat. In specifically that order, no exceptions......

Music:


Electroclash, Synthpop, New Wave, Darkwave, IndieRock, Electro, BreakBeat, D&B, Funky Ass Disco-House, Techno, Jazz....everything...ect.....Scissor Sisters, Ladytron, Fischerspooner, Miss Kitten, Felix da Housecat, The Darkness, Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, The Vines, The Strokes, The Killers, The White Stripes, LCD Soundsystem, The Bravery, Basement Jax, Daft Punk, The Donnas, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Smiths, Joy Division, New Order, The Cure,Brighteyes, Postal Service/Death Cab, Le Tigre.............Okay this is just a sampling of some of my more recent choices.......the real list is too long and I'm too lazy.

Movies:

Donnie Darko, What the Bleep do we know?, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Velvet Goldmine, Adaptation, Party Monster, Underworld, 24 Hour Party People, I Shot Andy Warhol, Nowhere, The Doom Generation, Totally Fucked Up, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, The Hunger, The Nightmare Before Christmas.........um and a whole lot more...Um Reefer Madness the movie musical. Not because I'm a raging pot head, but because it has brilliant lyrics and music and makes a great statement about the use of propaganda in America both in the past and currently. If anyone has seen the original propaganda film from the 1930s, likes intelligent satyrical musicals you need to see this.
