i spoke about wings..... you just flew...

About Me

younger than i feel, older than i act. trying to keep the tally of mistakes i've made as close as possible to that of things i've learned. i believe in the benefit of the doubt, in teaching by example, and that true strength is kindness.

My Interests

music, history, books, music, battlefield archeology, music.

I'd like to meet:

interesting, intelligent, eclectic people, record collectors, music snobs, deviants, and all around geeks.

Music:

swans, joy division, black flag, devo, bruce springsteen, interpol, fugazi, arcade fire, the fall, bright eyes, skinny puppy, TV On The Radio, einsturzende neubauten, leonard cohen, crooked fingers, black heart procession, brighter death now, kris kristofferson, legendary pink dots...anything real and done with passion. genre is meaningless when it comes from the heart.

Movies:

star wars, stalingrad, true romance, big fish, wings of desire, donnie darko, downfall... history, scifi, and the documentary section at the library

Television:

simpsons, history channel, battlestar galactica, adult swim

Books:

neal stephenson, charles bukowski, warren ellis, henry rollins, neil gaiman, dave eggers, seth, foundation trilogy, chuck palahniuk, philip k. dick, hermann hesse, john keegan, tim obrien... been on a william s burroughs kick of late.

Heroes:
