Dear Die Hard. You rock. Especially when that guy was on the roof. P.S: Do you know Mad Max?

About Me

I played trombone in 5th grade for 1 week, accidentally shot the band instructor with the slide and quit. I've carried a keg of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for Yo Yo Ma. I almost failed Home Economics. I remember trivial shit. Cartoons make me happy.

My Interests

I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony.

I'd like to meet:

Ani Difranco, Natalie Dee, David Foster Wallace, Umberto Eco, Kurt Vonnegut

Music:

As cliche as it is, I like at least some representative of most musical genres. My high school was very classic rock, I drew Doors logos on my bookcovers. I really got into punk and 'alternative' rock in late high school. Then came the neohippie jamband phase as Phish and Widespread took over. I love bluegrass and old time string band stuff, the most raucously fun music ever. What I fail to appreciate: modern country music, hyper-preachy gospel, and smooth jazz. I seriously almost got in a fight over Kenny Chesney the other night.

Books:

Anything by David Foster Wallace or Umberto Eco or Joseph Campbell. Arturo-Perez Reverte.

Heroes:
