About Me

"What's been rewarded for a lot of years now is irony," he continues, "and I'm a smart-ass, and I appreciate irony, but I don't think it should be the gold standard that everything is weighed by. I think people are more comfortable taking a stance like that in the face of the obscenity of the world around us. I think it's easier to be distant and ironic and removed from it. It's maybe a bit harder to struggle to find the words to articulate what's going on around you. I definitely think irony always gets rewarded, but opening your mouth and having an opinion is a contentious thing, which is sad." -Efrim Munuck

My Interests

"We've never lectured or insisted that everyone should believe the same things that we do; instead we've pleaded and pleaded and pleaded -- we've thrown these records into the ocean like so many hopeless transmissions, praying and hoping that some people would get the point, the simple simple simple point; that the world we live in is lost, violent, and obscene; that the relations we have with each other and ourselves are mostly alienated, that together we need to begin figuring out how to fix ourselves, our communities, our world." - Godspeed You!
