About Me

I'm a chill, type of guy that generally gets along with everyone. I abhor war and the warped reasons we're in one now. I like the arts in all its forms - especially the visual arts. I'm a graphic designer, artist, and amateur photographer. I revel in the mundane things this odd little world has to offer - small spiders, dew drops, a single crack in the pavement - and will find myself getting really, really close to capture them on film. Unfortunately this leaves me with stacks and stacks of obscure images that serve no purpose but to amuse me.

Music:

Over the Rhine is my absolute favorite. In general, good, strong voices thrill me. Some of my top favs are Chris Isaak, Tori Amos, Peter Gabriel, Lisa Gerrard (formally of Dead Can Dance), Brendan Perry (also formally of Dead Can Dance), the chick from Evanescence, Hope Sandoval (formally of Mazzy Star), Portishead, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Ane Brun, Sia, Broken Social Scene, NIN, Pansy Division, and many, many more.

Movies:

Orlando is number one on my list. It's beautiful to look at during every frame, every shot, every moment. The soundtrack is fantastic (if you like odd instrumentals). Pan's Labyrinth is running a darn good second place with Children of Men in third. The Fall is a new contender in the top three slot duke-out.

Television:

I don't watch too much television. Confession: I've gotten hooked on LOST!, Project Runway, and Heroes. Nip/Tuck used to be one I'd watch but it's gotten seriously dull to me.

Books:

Books are great! Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwarz, Blessings, Black & Blue and One True Thing by Anna Quindlen, Neverwhere, Stardust, Coraline, and American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Blindness by Jose Saramago (whew! What an amazing book!), Chocolat, Blackberry Wine, Coastliners, and Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris, the Harry Potter series by Rowling, I Know This Much is True and She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, Evening (and other poetry) by Susan Minot, White Oleander by Janet Fitch, and pretty much what ever David Sedaris writes. Recently finished Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and Dry by Augusten Burroughs. There are others but there's only so much time to type. Currently I'm working on Middlesex.

Heroes:

To bleed, or not to bleed?

I donated blood today. It's something I've done every eight weeks since the age of eighteen. Some of my friends give me flack about donated blood to the Red Cross because of their discrimi...

Just a taste...

Because I can gush for HOURS about my niece and nephews (to be follow up with a long stream of complaints about them), I've decided not post a blog about them. They came for a visit at the end of Jul...

I just don’t know what to say anymore...

I'm ashamed for our country and not at all sympathetic for the idiots who recorded themselves saying and doing these things and then allowing it to get out to the rest of the world....
