About Me

I'm a truthseeking, arcbending white boy trying to heed the man in the mirror. My music is an extension of my entire self and is more articulate about who I am and want to be than any other words I've ever written. I have a huge number of friends that I struggle to keep in touch with because this modern era of escapism, apathy and meme warfare is clouding my thoughts and my soul and threatens to pre-empt any and all healthy communities, past/present/future. I thank humanity for the tools it has given me to fight the effects of oppression: music, logic, emotion, human investment and Unitarian Universalism.

My Interests

writing words and music, producing beats, experimenting with sound design, rapping, being called out lovingly, calling out lovingly, dancing, finding a balance, spending true times with real people.

I'd like to meet:

anyone cool. oh, i forgot to mention: UNLESS you're at the North Pole. You can't just be cold because of where you're at and get away with meeting me. You have to be able to prove that you are cool even when not in a sub-zero climate.

Music:

I have always had eclectic musical tastes but all of my staples are based in and influenced by hiphop at its realest. The underground pushes the pulse of my spiritual and emotional veins. There are too many heads making amazing and real music right now to name names, and everyone already knows the ones that everyone already knows. Let's keep our communities musical and spread the word of mouth while we worship at the temple of truth.

Movies:

I like movies that provoke me viscerally and intellectually. I am easily fooled by Hollywood formulas and desire to learn to see them for what they are without the aid of hindsight.

Television:

The TV is an ally of the enemy, but I'd like to think that non-sequiter-based humor is contrary to the solid lines they want to draw inside our minds. I try to stay up on Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab 2021 (rip Murphy), and Futurama. The Daily Show is the last bastion of the sane, long live Jonny S.

Books:

Catcher in the Rye, Ender's Game, the Sword of Truth, Star Wars books, the Ishmael books, particularly the Story of B. Also, anything interesting and not written by Puritan blowhards back when writing was something only blowhard rich assholes could do.

Heroes:

Jon Stewart. I wish I could think of more.
