Who is John Galt?

About Me

We are the hollow men


I'm Drew. I'm a bit of a geek, but I'm not anti-social in the least. I work in theater and I'm hopelessly in love with the arts.I'm in a relationship with a wonderful, beautiful girl named Jenn, and I still don't know how I got so lucky.
These days I spend most of the time I'm not at work reading, mostly books related to philosophy, spirituality, politics, or history, but I enjoy cheesy fiction just as much.
I'm fairly obsessive when it comes to music. I tend to get lost in it for hours at a time. I used to record my own under the moniker Automate , but I've become a bit lazy recently.
I'm a proponent of interfaith pluralism, but I don't adhere to any specific creed, life-philosophy, or religion.. However, discussions or debates revolving around said subjects are something I enjoy very much.
If you'd like to have a discussion sometime, you'll find me at www.rorap.net with the screenname: SunAlsoRises.
Or you could just instant message me on AIM at: skygreen leopard .

An abandoned shoe, a rotten tooth, a snub nose, the cook spitting in the soup of his masters are to love what a battle flag is to nationality. ..

Heroes:

So heres the plan. The ides of march are always at hand. And when the power hungry strike, they strike the poorest of man. And if you dare put up a fight, theyll come and fight for your land. And theyll call it liberation or salvation. A call to the youth! Your freedom aint so free, its just loose. but the power of your voice could redirect every truth. Shift and shape the world you want and keep your fears in a noose. Let them dangle from a banner star spangled. Im willing and able. To lift my dreams up out of their cradle. Nurse and nurture my ideals til theyre much more than a fable. I can be all I can be and do much more than Im paid to. And I wont be a slave to what authorities say do. My desire is to live within a nation on fire, where creative passions burn and raise the stakes ever higher. Where no person is addicted top some twisted supplier who promotes the sort of freedom sold to the highest buyer. We demand a truth naturally at one with the land, not a plant that photosynthesizes bombs on demand, or a search for any weapons we let fall from our hands. I got beats and a plan. Im gonna do what I can. And what you do is question everything they say do, every goal ideal or value they keep pushing on you. If they ask you to believe it question whether its true. If they ask you to achieve, is it for them or for you. Youre the one theyre asking to go carry a gun. Warfare aint humanitarian. Youre scaring me, son. Why not fight to feed the homeless, jobless, fight inflation?! Why not fight for our own healthcare and our education?! And instead, invest in that erasable lead, cause their twisted propaganda cant erase all the dead. And the pile of corpses pyramid on top of our heads. Or nevermind, said the shotgun to the head.~saul williams ________
