About Me

I watch a lot of news, read a lot of news, etc. But I find its always helpful to have several nerf objects on hand to throw at the t.v. pundits, and whoever else starts pundificating.

My Interests

Playing drums, painting pictures, lying on the beach, etc.

I'd like to meet:

Jim Lehrer and Gwen Ifill

Music:

From Punk to Funk. I couldnt even make a list. I respect anyone with the ovaries to get out there and make music. Personal band projects include ROIL (fresno and portland), SNY MAGILL (iowa city), URIZEN (fresno), etc.

Movies:

Riddle me this, movie fans: "I'm just a small man...you're a big man."

Television:

I really hate television, but am oddly compelled to turn it on a lot. luckily its at the same time of day, usually, and its often pbs or comedy central. i do like those Mythbuster dudes. And Good Times, with JJ and Dee.

Books:

I am writing this novel about a big brother-like device that people are drawn like flies to, which taps into people's private wants and thoughts, and then people start disappearing. But it will probably be years before I complete it, since I spend most of my free time on myspace.

Heroes:

Jim Lehrer
