Think of me as the real form of where's Waldo

About Me

I am: An artist, scientist, athlete, observer, anti-cubicalist, traveler a person who feels that you should change the world and obtain your dreams or get off. Someone who loves to laugh, enjoys the ride and realizes that there is a solution to every problem.I am not: 9-5, coaster, pessimist, dependant, another cow in the heard of the suburbia dream.But really there is more to it than this........

My Interests

Art, the kind that draws you in NOT the kind that shocks or projects the elitist artist mentality. Photography, film and music. Mountain Biking, Snow Skiing, Rock Climbing, SCUBA

I'd like to meet:

Anyone willing to jump off the fence, all or nothing, death or glory. Provoke me and challenge me, love me or hate me. Question everything. Defend your beliefs like a preacher but be willing to listen and learn from others. I loathe nothing more than the mundane and the unimpassioned: lassitude is heinous. Apathy is a living oblivion, the glove into which evil slips its hand. Create or destroy - don't just replicate. Never second guess yourself and always follow your heart because regret for the things we have done can be tempered with time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. Anyone who isn't scared of my honesty because I will always speak my mind. If you can't handle that and return the courtesy, I don't want to know you.

Music:

Mostly all good if it is modern.....Most significantly the music has to be created by artists! Not prefabricated performers constructed an entire album based on one single. Favorites include: Faithless, Hum, Death in Vegas and Curve.

Movies:

American History X, Oldboy, Hero, The Audition, Jerry, What About Bob? mixed with a little brainless Hollywood excess.

Television:

Turn it off!

Heroes:

What Music Means To Me (part VI - The Chemical Brothers)

Ah yes, I thought the day would never come where I spent more of my day behind a desk then outside. I guess I had to "grow-up" sometime, and at least my current position is in an artistic field. Never...

The song that started it all for me! "Insomnia" introduced me to this great band with a great idea. In a time when categorization of bands was an industry standard Faithless came around and broke the ...
