Listen to the music with no fear. You can hear it too, if you're sincere.

About Me

So here's the deal: Music makes me tick. I have alot of it, I'm constantly obtaining new stuff, I'm incredibly open to it, and I have an indescribable appreciation for it. All in all I'd estimate my collection at somewhere near 10,000 albums, although about 250 of them are vinyl LP's and 50 or so are on cassette tape (some things you just can't get rid of...) Although only about 1500 are compact discs, I've dedicated about 200 gigs of hard drive space to ripped music from outside sources. I love to eat fruit (pretty much any kind). I love trying new micro-brews. Reading Magazines (mostly music, pop culture, and counterculture). CS:S (Clan 7 & NC-Cubed). Aimless internet surfing. The Lexis Nexis database. chomskytorrents. Being a pack-rat. Being particular. Being a grammar-Nazi. Going to shows. Bagels with mascarpone, peaches, and pine nuts. The entire continent of Asia. Coffee. Stickers. Tacky posters. Saving my bottle caps. Computer hardware. Reading (mostly non-fiction). Thinking. Scene kids. Shopping of any sort (especially second-hand shopping). Cooking. Hitting the snooze button (keeping the dream alive). Photography. Keeping my bar well stocked. Drinking in moderation. Old Nickelodeon shows ala Pete and Pete; Salute Your Shorts. Benevolence. Chuck Palahniuk. Spontaneity. Writing myself notes. Aimless drives to new places. Being in tune with my senses. Sarcasm. People watching. Fantasizing about Bjork. Daydreaming. Cookies. Ridding the world of cancerous nubcakes. Coffee. Chocolate. Arguing for the sake of arguing. Meeting people; Pondering the lives of said people. Laziness. Replies. Shameless bickering. Administrating. Dialectics. Endless lists...The Best Page In The Universe

My Interests

I have to try this out. Supposedly it's going to make recommendations to you and I about new music, based on what I've already listened to. We'll see...My new girlfriend:P4 3.6 Ghz Dual Core socket 775 w/ HT (OC'd to 3.67 Ghz)__ ABIT Fatal1ty AA8XE (loads of cool features like OTES fans)__ ATI Radeon X1800XL GPU (530 mhz core clock, 525 mhz memory clock)__ 2 x 1 gig GEIL DDR2-533 Dual-Channel RAM__ 150 gig WD Raptor X (sata)__ Ultra X-Connect 500 Watt PSU__ Ultra case w/ clear side panel__Normal young guy stuff i guess. Partying. Going to bars. Going to shows. PC stuff. Umm... The standard "movies and music" thing. I dunno... Brightening days (unless I don't think your day should be brightened... then I just may dim it). Promoting thinking.

I'd like to meet:

I'm not really sure who i'd like to meet. It doesnt really matter though, does it? Either I'll meet them or i won't. Whether or not I'd like to is ultimately irrelevant.I guess ultimately I'd like to meet people who share the same skewed realist values as me. Someone who understands the difference between logic and reason, and who is willing to be without reason for the sake of logic. To just do things because they makes sense or feel right, not because of some stupid agenda. Someone who's not on a path. Someone who wants to throw this whole "Go to school for 16-20 years, then make a career for 30-40 years, then retire wealthy" shit right out the window and just better ourselves on our own terms rather than someone else's.

Music:

Mmmm... music. It's delicious.Ask if you'd like elaboration on that. I'm a music geek. Even more so than I'm a computer geek./Twee!

Movies:

I'm pretty hit or miss when it comes to movies. I usually judge them solely on a 0-2 scale. 0 being "I don't ever want to see that crap again". 1 being "That was an ok movie that i might watch again on TV in 5 years." 2 being "That's worthy of my time. I think I'll download it and put it on a DVD." OR "That's worthy of my time. I think I'll rent it from the video store and make a copy of it." I'm generally accepting to movies that I haven't seen. Chances are, if you liked it, I'll watch it. Expect honest afterthoughts though... I don't lie about my taste.

Television:

Yeah, i have a television. I try to limit my intake though. For comedy, I watch Fox News. And some cartoons. I guess I've been watching The Office alot lately. I enjoy most shows that have been produced by HBO, like The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Oz, Sex In The City, although the only one I've ever set aside time to watch liberally was The Sopranos; the bestest show ever. But yeah, I don't watch much television.

Books:

Chuck Palahniuk. C. West Churchman. Tom Wolfe. Charles Bukowski. C.S. Lewis. Oh and those "Simon and Schuster's Guide To" books are pretty rad. Douglas Adams. Noam Chomsky. Al Franken. George R. R. Martin. Nelson Goodman. J.K. Rowling. Alex Garland. A.A. Milne. Howard Zinn. BF. Skinner. Zellig Harris. Soren Kierkegaard. Karl Marx.

Heroes:

I don't have heroes, but I greatly admire people without selective appreciation. People who are genuine. People who display candor and equitableness.
