I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

~~~ I sold everything and flew two thousand miles to be here, so all of you who consider yourselves clever, honest, amusing, intelligent, and productive members of society, come and get some. I've spent most of my life in Virginia, however, I have been all over this country and some other parts of the world and now I'm here for a change of scenery and culture. I consider myself to be honest, loyal, and compassionate, sometimes to a fault. I love a good sense of humor, ( especially a warped one ), and I, in turn, like to make people laugh. I like many kinds of music with the exception of egocentric rap and the commercial crap on most radio stations. I like real conversations with intelligent people who like to think for themselves and investigate the truth. I have little respect for those who would believe the TV news and be done with it. I am a spiritual person with no respect for organized religion. Many religious texts are, in my opinion, great and useful literary works that happen to be misunderstood or misused. I have found most religions to be supported by hypocrites, liars and the brain-washed. I like people who believe in themselves, yet still have morals and consideration for others. I like strong, independent women who aren't afraid to be girly at times. I enjoy being outdoors and having friends over for dinner. I like cats and cat people. I believe the eyes and body language of a person will tell you more than the mouth of a person. I respect those who can approach a stranger. I like kids if they're not the kids of bad parents. ~~~ More to come ......

Music:

I like most music that doesn't fall in the catagories of popular rap, popular country, or popular music. I like lots of stuff influenced by rap and country, but the early roots are the good stuff and otherwise, I like some 60's, 70's and 80's radio and b-sides. Today, I hate most FM radio because I like music, not crap. Internet radio is the only hope for broadcasts and FM radio is for suckers. I like stuff that's featured in movie soundtracks. I like Thievery Corporation, Air, Bjork, Sonic Youth, A Perfect Circle, Bauhaus, Arab Strap, Beastiboys, Art Blakey, Deathcab for Cutie, Balanescu Quartet, Miles Davis, DJ Cam, DJ Shadow, Gorillaz, MC Chris, Meat Beat Manifesto, Blur, Mr. Bungle, Eagles Of Death Metal, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Cardigans, The Residents, Combustible Edison, The White Stripes, This Mortal Coil, Tortoise, Charles Mingus, Crass, Gang Of Four, The Buzzcocks, Cure, Pink Floyd, Butthole Surfers, Patsy Cline, Buddy Rich, Tricky, U.N.K.L.E., Plasticman, David Bowie, Thelonious Monk, Dead Milkmen, Blondie, Radiohead, Bongwater, Massive Attack, Coil, Angelo Badalamenti, Antonio Carlos Jobim, David Holmes, Modest Mouse, Violent Femmes, Blonde Redhead, Weezer, Chemical Brothers, Lamb, Pixies, Bjork, Christian Death, Stereolab, Cocteau Twins, Hooverphonic, Dead Can Dance, Smiths, Big Black, Orb, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Beatles, Portishead, Q.O.T.S.A., and Talking Heads, naming only a few.

Movies:

I tend to follow actors and directors. Lost Highway, Fight Club, and Fear and Loathing are my top three, ( three way tie ). I like David Lynch, Stanly Kubric, Cohen Bros., Tarentino, and for actors, I like Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro, Christina Ricci, Johnny Depp, Ed Norton, Helena Bohnam Carter, Natalie Portman, and of course, Deniro, Hoffman, and Gary Oldman.

Television:

Family Guy, Simpsons, and Adult Swim. I'm too busy to watch much else.

Books:

I've liked "A Brief History of Time", "Permanent Midnight", "Still Life with Woodpecker", "The Fermata", "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues", "American Psycho" and the last good one was "Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas"

Heroes:

My father and step-father
