About Me

What's it gonna be then, eh? I'm somewhat of a hippie, but I despise the term. I'm more like the longhaired Zarathustra who came out of his cave after years of solitude---somehow a speaker for society, somehow a goofball that lost sight of it. I like Naturalism (that's the philosophical and literary concept of Emile Zola, not the nudist lifestyle---not that there's anything wrong with that), writing, mathematics, and polemics. I really like independent films and books with outlandish humor. I'm very cereberal, and I enjoy opportunities to discuss ideas and engage political activism.

My Interests

Mathematics. ACTIVISM: Same-Sex Marriage, Single Tax-Penalty Reform. Coffee Houses. Poetry Readings. LANGUAGES: German, Latin, Spanish, Telugu, and Swahili. Independent Films.

I'd like to meet:

Friends of all varieties. Like folks who can appreciate intellectual and artistic aspects of life, yet not terribly bourgeoise either. (*Forgive the wishful thinking of a bohemian.*)Traveling to Malta July 26 - August 1. Plan to see a lot, but would love to meet people on my adventures.

Music:

80's New Wave. Morrissey, Cyndi Lauper, Missing Persons, Talk Talk, Lene Lovich, Talking Heads. Brian Eno, Philip Glass, and David Bowie. Dream Theater. Musicals Hair and Chess. Black Metal.

Television:

Rarely watch television. When I do, it's usually a documentary on PBS. When there's digital cable around---Vh1 Classics.

Books:

Point Counter Point, The Young Visitors, The Art of Being, One-Dimensional Man, Do It! Chronicles of the Revolution, We Are Everywhere, The Medium is the Massage.

Heroes:
