About Me

Musician, Atheist, and Libertarian. I play guitar for Mental Floss and The Cherry Bomb. What more do you want? Watashi wa nihon no bunka ga daisuki desu.
Pause the music, sit back, and watch some interesting videos. Or maybe even support a Libertarian candidate while you're at it.

Quotes"We are all atheists about most of the Gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one God further." - Richard Dawkins
"Education is favorable to liberty. Freedom can only exist in a society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights. And where learning is confined to a few people, like liberty, can neither be equal nor universal." - Dr. Benjamin Rush, 1786
"Anywhere I stand is a 'free speech zone'." - Michael Badnarik
"It ain't the right guys versus the left guys, cause first of all, I don't see anything really creative happening on what could be described as the left. The Democratic party, I'm sorry folks, but this is a waste of time. The whole idea of party politics has been superseded because the people who are the extremists on the right, they are Republicans in name only. What these people really are is fascists. Call a spade a spade." - Frank Zappa, 1990
"I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the earth." - Thomas Jefferson
"I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe. Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837
"The moral and constitutional obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people." - Congressman Ron Paul
"The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail--its roof may shake--the wind may blow through it--the storm may enter--the rain may enter-- but the King of England cannot enter--all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!" - William Pitt, describing the Declaration of Independence to the House of Commons.

Other Shit This forced astrology on MySpace is bullshit. Fine, you have my birthday, but do you really need to assign me a bullshit zodiac sign that means nothing at all and is actually off by one sign? (The earth has wobbled a bit since the Babylonians made all that shit up 2000 years ago.)
Take your astrology voodoo mumbo-jumbo and shove it up your ass.
