About Me

I am living at the Villa Borghese.
There is not a crumb of dirt anywhere, nor a chair misplaced.
We are all alone here and we are dead.

-- Henry Miller; Tropic of Cancer.

My Interests

I like collecting and listening to music, and I used to have a counter of how many vinyl albums I have... but I lost count 2 months ago. Around 430 or so. And I enjoy the philosophical aspect of politics, so no I am not a Democrat. And no, I am not a Republican. If anything I am a Libertarian Communist, because that would be someone who actually stood for things. ha.
And don't forget that I am a Russophile. Or maybe just a plain ol' Slavophile. Eitherway, I love the history of Eastern Europe.

I'd like to meet:

Someone good at something, and HER:

..

Fellow International Union of Socialist Youth members too!

Music:

Whatever is good, musically complex, groundbreaking, and played on a Fender Telecaster. This narrows it down to Progressive Rock, and whatever music is played on Telecasters.

Movies:

Something with red-tones to them. Movies lately have this... bland, red-less look to them. I like red. I want it.

Television:

History Channel!

Books:

Lately it has just been school books, but those are good history books nonetheless. Otherwise, I read distopian drama, nonfiction (essentially the two are the same), and Russian short stories. No Dostoevsky! (the keyword is "short" stories)

Heroes:

Anyone good at something.

Or Maybe Anarcho-Syndicalists?
