*faux pas master* coming to you directly from the imperialist, colonial backwater known as "america"

About Me

i'm a warm hearted misanthrope, a cynical idealist, an obnoxious joker, a jewish atheist. being a monkey, i bite! - but, with words only. so, don't fear: my biting won't break the skin. you're safe! - i'm a vegetarian. and if you are a plant: i apologize deeply. (for biting). i am a wanderer, an innocent, an accident... a mystery of animated earth and energy... a passionate soul reaching for goodness... yet another of nature's paradoxes...

My Interests

international music and art, progressive activism, the spectacular beauty of nature. creative culture. people with heart. wordcraft. living a creative, sensual, non-materialistic, non-violent life. peace and respect between all people... - with a big dose of sarcastic humor and straight up sarcasm thrown into the mix, considering the fucked up shit so many people are doing to each other and to the rest of this planet... - respect for mother earth and all of her creatures and creations... riding bikes & pumping iron, recycling stuff & making stuff...

I'd like to meet:

artists, musicians, idealists, activists, and other souls resisting the daily grind that destroys all life... as well as those toiling to survive. everyone who stands for truth, justice, music, art, equality, and mother earth. oh... let's be real. i am looking for all of this, but here on myspace, i'm mainly looking for music, &, since i'm here anyway, i take the opportunity to vent about politics. i rarely "friend" individuals, so, please don't be hurt if i don't friend you. it's not cause i don't care! i just don't know who you are. but, if you really want to meet, feel free to say hi, cause... you just never know. ;) ************************************************************ ***you can follow this one to its next 5 parts:interested in the banking scandal? check these videos out:meet cynthia mckinney, the green party candidate for president:the nader group and the greens/mckinney should be cooperating instead of splitting the progressive vote... this lack of insight and commitment to practical action for the public benefit will result in failure of the attempts of both groups and a failure to bring about the changes necessary in this country. practical necessity should come before ego... nancy pelosi violated her campaign promises to impeach george bush and end the u.s. occupation of iraq, so cindy sheehan is campaigning to take her seat:

Music:

african, afro-latin, afro-caribbean, middle eastern, romany, s. asian,, e. european, reggae, ska, funk, dub, international hip hop, klezmer...

Movies:

mars attacks

Heroes:

hiawatha, mahatma gandhi, the true rev. dr. martin luther king, jesus the rabbi, noam chomsky. hugo chavez - as long as he proceeds democratically - though he's getting a little questionable now, what with expelling human rights observers... people in ethnic conflict trying to make peace, men standing up for women's rights, majorities standing for minorities, straignt people standing up for gay people, adults protecting children, and everyone standing against abuse, inequality and oppression. dennis kucinich, ralph nader, lillith, ali g. ha ha... respect! for information on lillith, see:http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/a/adam_and_li lith_thanatos_and_resurrection_of_the_archetypal_goddess.htm lhttp://witcombe.sbc.edu/eve-women/1evewomen.htmlhttp://www. lilithinstitute.com/history.htmhttp://www.angelfire.com/real m2/amethystbt/lilith.html *some of these discussions are inappropriately eurocentric, but, they're still worth looking at.
