My name is Bandini! Arturo Bandini!

About Me

SHITTY SCENESTER HIPSTER SCUMFUCK BANDS:
DO NOT FUCKING ADD ME!!! I THINK YOUR MUSIC SUCKS AND YOUR THIN TIES AND PRETENTIOUS BRAINDEAD GIRLFRIENDS ARE THE WORST! FUCK OFF AND DIE!
But really, I'm a nice guy and pretty easygoing. I just think Beethoven is better than everything, including you.
My name is Rob, I just moved back to Edmonton from Montreal to start a new company with some friends. If at first you don't succeed, give up for two years and take another go! ;-) I work, read, write, play music, drink, read, write, work, play music, and drink. I'll hit the bike if it's working (lowrider or mountain, dinna matter), and walk around town a lot when I have nothing to do, which is when I'm not working, reading, writing, playing music, or drinking. Life is going great for me these days, I'm just waiting to get hit by a bus or something here soon what with the amount of good luck I've been having. Good true friends are the only thing worth anything in this world. Sincerity, loyalty, and honor seem to be virtues that just aren't in style these days. Most people seem to be opting for this transient exchange of interests which is pretty removed from the most meagre potential of human interchange. "A life not examined is a life not lived."

My Interests

Meditation, reading, the Arts (audio/visual), laughter, good and true friends, writing, design, programming, game theory, quantum mechanics, esoteric texts (mysticism, mystery traditions, symbology, allegory and metaphor), poetry (Hafiz! Rumi! Bukowski! Rimbaud!), PEACE!!!, a reduction in the amount of global kid-death, quitting smoking, removing prejudices and predilictions from my soul through practice.

I'd like to meet:

John Fante, Louis Ferdinand Celine, J. D. Salinger, Eileen Myles, Charles Bukowski, Gnut Hamsun, Albert Camus, James Joyce, and Mark David Chapman. (I think John Lennon was a dick, you ever seen that documentary about him? What an ass!)All my heroes are dead it seems.

Music:

Classical, classical, classical, and extreme grindcore. I also enjoy listening to Tom Waits and certain 80's pop songs. Walking in L.A. is the apex of the modern Western Tradition as far as I'm concerned. Any old Jazz singers, I love Jazz singers. Nina Simone, my God, no one sings like that anymore. You figure it out.

Movies:

Sexy Beast, Insomnia (orig. Dutch version), Dogville, Brother, Kingdom of Heaven (I can't believe they pulled it off!), Barfly, Meetings w/ Remarkable Men.

Television:

Turn it OFF!

Books:

Too many to list here!

Heroes:

They're all dead except for my friends!
