life is like beer... good head is essemtial

About Me

I'm older than you think but I'm younger than you feel.
I play a plethora of instruments and make music noises.
I like sushi and beer. Especially Karl Strauss. Few things in life are finer than Red Trolley on tap.
I pretend I know how to design websites...

My Interests

sushi, music, beer, mediatation/contemplation/good-ole-hanging-'round, eastern philosophy, music, cycling, spending time with family and good friends... often with the beer

I'd like to meet:

Frank Zappa, Lao Tzu, George Harrison, William Burroughs... and you

Music:

you name it, I'm down. I've even begun acquiring a taste for country, mostly through bluegrass... still not down too much with the modern pop-country although, but you never know... as long as the singer looks as good as Shania...

Movies:

just about any good documentary, even if by Michael Moore (taken with a grain of salt and a quasi-liberal bent, mind you). Notable standouts in my collection: Snatch, Pump up the Volume, Spinal Tap/Waiting for Guffman/Best in Show/A Mighty Wind, Fifth Element, Blade Runner, A Clockwork Orange, Apocolypse Now, SLC Punk... I'll stop there

Television:

Good Eats, the Discovery Channels and Adult swim... need I say more?

Books:

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance/Lila, Tao te Ching, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the Tao of Pooh/the Teh of Piglet, more and more history and economincs books lately. I tend to read very little fiction these days... weird, considering I was a huge sci-fi freak as a young'un

Heroes:

Frank Zappa, Mike Keneally, Woody Guthrie

There are places I remember, all my life, though some have changed&

Okay, so as many of you may have noticed I have been dwelling on the past and the fact that I'm getting older a lot lately. I have been formulating thoughts on the concept of time and how our very ess...

12 months do a year make

Well, it was one year ago today that Craig was killed. In many ways it has gotten easier to think about and in many ways its just as difficult to think about as it was a year ago. I can tell you this...
