Love comes & goes, but good leather lasts forever

About Me

"Viva bene, ami molto, risata spesso" - loosely translated "Live well, love much, and laugh often". i work too hard, play too much, and can't sit still for more than 10 minutes. i'm a bleeding-heart progressive who wants to change the world and make a difference, and should make more money trying to do it. i don't blend and i don't fit in and i enjoy it that way.

My Interests

Writing, reading, playing pool, meeting people, coffee shops and hole-in-the-wall bars, finding new and adventurous activities and people to do them with me. I love to dance and watch pro football and catch any good live original music when it can be found in this town.

Music:

All kinds. Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, VNV Nation, Funker Vogt, Wumpscut, Sarah Vaughn, Nina Simone, Billy Holiday, Imperative Reaction, Icon of Coil, Laibach, Mozart, Tchaikowsky....

Movies:

Can't name anything in particular. Good art-house type films, independent movies, movies that don't require me to turn off my brain - unless they happen to be really good eyecandy. Key to my heart - spend a weekend watching old bad horror with me.

Television:

I don't watch much tv but if it's on, it's usually BBCAmerica, Discovery, History, Sci-Fi, HBO, and anything NFL.

Books:

Again, you name it. Fiction -horror, sci-fi, fantasy. Non-fiction - biographies and anything politically-oriented.

Happy Holidays

So far, this holiday season has been rather survivable. Going into it, I was dubious about the general state of things and whether the holiday would be rough. No need to doubt.Christmas was very ple...

life through single eyes

So, is this state of confidence a good thing or a bad one?Seems like an obvious question, but maybe not so much.There's a member of the opposite gender over whom I've been suffering a rather strong cr...
