About Me

I am just one eclectic eccentric social sound system with a healthy frustration with the world around me. I am a pragmatic-idealist who refuses to accept that simply because it is the ideal that it is unattainable... That there are always steps, we just gotta find the right ones. I am a person who dreads the moments when I have to utter the words, "I don't know." I pride myself on being able to listen to all sides to make my own decision. Thesis - Anti-Thesis - Synthesis.
"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."--John F. Kennedy, inaugural address, January 20, 1961 35th president of US 1961-1963 (1917 - 1963)"Now, the making of a good compilation tape is a very subtle art. Many do's and don'ts. First of all you're using someone else's poetry to express how you feel. This is a delicate thing." -Rob Gordon, "High Fidelity""What is a rebel? A man who says no." -Albert Camus, L'Homme revolte (The Rebel), 1951 French existentialist author & philosopher (1913 - 1960)
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

All perspectives on life. I don't want to travel the world... I NEED TO TRAVEL THE WORLD.

Music:

"As I walk down the street, I put a rhythym to my feet, Breathin' in the Air so sweet, Justa high steppin' to my own beat, I'm so tired of the same old rhymes, you know the ones we hear all the time, 'Cause commercialism is a crime, so please don't put no price on mine, Or even try to define this portion of my soul... it keeps me whole." ------ Social Sound System --------

Last CD Bought: "Vampire Weekend" self titled & two of their 7" singles
I DON'T BELIEVE IN iPODS.

Movies:

Favorite Movie at the Moment: "Across the Universe"
Last Movies Watched: "Iron Man" KILLS IT!!! This is my favorite Marvel movie by far! "Grey Gardens" Is this one of the first reality TV shows? So sad how these once beautiful women from high society have fallen into a state of decay and codependency. "Shogun Assasin 2: Lone Wolf and Cub" I wish someone would make a mashup DVD of all the WU-Tang songs and these movies.

Television:

YouTube and www.VBS.tv: VICE with video cameras = the world in all it's glory... for better or worse.Boob Toob: ESPN, History Channel, Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, Science Channel... Pretty much any television that's going to make me smarter than you.

Books:

I still highlight and annotate my books.
"After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books." -Albert Camus

Last Book Read:
The Gonzo Way by Anita Hunter. Wonderful look at the other side of Hunter's life from his assistant and friend whom he fell in love with and married. He may have been the personification of life, liberty, and rock and roll, but there's always a serious side.Currently Reading:
Lluvia De Oro by Victor Villasenor en espanol... fuck.

Heroes:

Anyone who ever questioned the status quo.

Music

Music always moves forward. It's timeless and infinite progress is one giant sonic mass... Coursing it's way through time ever changing. Never static, always dynamic.
