When Blake comes into play, everything becomes awesome.

About Me

I just bought a binder for my Magic cards, and I feel really wierd about it. Believe it or not, that says a lot about me.

My Interests

Black/Red Sac Goblins. Mono-White Weenie. Black/White Control. Red/White Giants. White/Blue Life-Gain. Green/ Black Elves. Green Mana Ramp.

I'd like to meet:

Wait a second...we're MEETING now? I thought this was the internet. Are there real-life implications?

Music:

RECENT HARD STUFF: Polar Bear Club, Paint it Black, the new Verse record, R.A.M.B.O., and the new Ignite album.RECENT LIGHT STUFF: the new Vetiver, Silver Jews, Rocky Votolato, and Anathallo.

Movies:

I've found myself quoting Wayne's World a lot lately, which is odd.

Television:

Don't watch it.

Books:

Ha! Believe me...you don't want to go down that road. Right now I'm reading Bakhtin's "Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics."

Heroes:

Wait...what constitutes a hero? Does it have to be someone I admire? Can they be fictional? I...uh...I don't understand the question, to be honest.

The Party Line

I'm digging birds from the earth, you're beating fists into walls;I'd rather watch something fly than fall.I'm sick of digging trenches,I'm sick of choosing sides,I'm sick of wielding weapons,Still no...

"Moby Dick," final quote
