When you diss Hall & Oates you diss yourself

About Me

Moved a while back to the beautiful Southern Oregon area all the way from North Carolina to work in web and graphic design. Been staying real busy since the move, but now that my plans for world domination are falling into place, I've been looking to play a little more...to balance out the work of building an oppressive empire.
In my spare time I'm into snowboarding, hiking, and sitting around looking pretty.
Ok, so I was kidding about the snowboarding and hiking.

My Interests

art in any of its forms, snowboarding, web and graphic design, astronomy, music, copious amounts of sleep, the socratic method, meditation, spoken word, comedy, chaos theory, fractals, sarcasm, pantheism, reiki, camping and backpacking, anthropology, the intersection of spirituality with the quantum level

I'd like to meet:

Genuine people below the radar and outside the box, musicians, especially dj's and producers, artists on every level, and anyone else that brings something interesting to the table.
I try to surround myself with good people, quality music, and unlikely teachers.
Oh, and Carmen Sandiego. She was too fast for my Tandy 1000 back in the day.

Music:

Drum & Bass, Downtempo (apologies to those Shoutcast stations I shamelessly wore out), Trip Hop, Acid Jazz, Experimental, non-mainstream hip-hop, all sounds tribal and percussion-oriented, and the few rock bands that still innovate (I'm looking at you Muse, Tool, Mars Volta, Radiohead, and Hobex).
And not that you asked, but here's a few more that I'm digging these days: LTJ Bukem, Saul Williams, Amon Tobin, Ninja Tune, Talib Kweli, Blackalicious, Calibre, DRS, MMW, RJD2, DJ Shadow, 311, Bjork, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Sixtoo, Jill Scott, Portishead, Deeizm, Res, Roots, Mos Def, Outkast, James Brown, Norah Jones, DJ Krush, Frank Sinatra, Big Bud, Erykah Badu, and Sigur Ros.

Movies:

Don't watch many, but I'm working on it. Baraka, The Big Lebowski (one of the funniest movies of all time!!), Lord of the Rings trilogy, anything by Kevin Smith (except for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, which was pants), Fight Club, K-Pax.

Television:

not really at all....but I can sometimes be tricked into watching comedy central or wrestling. go figure

Books:

The Holographic Universe - Talbot, Ishmael & The Story of B (both by Daniel Quinn), the Convergence books by David Wilcock, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, The Seth Material by Jane Roberts, The Ra Material and the Law of One series, A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

Heroes:

Eckhart Tolle, Goro Adachi, David Wilcock, Daniel Quinn, Calvin Mercer
My grandmother - and not in any sort of cliche way

She's better than some Dr. Thunder after you've been playing FIFA 06 with your boy for like 4 hours.Don't even act like she isn't.

What I've got my eye on today

Sixtoo - Incredible lyricist, intelligent and unorthodox beats. Bjork - An album made entirely of human voices, no? My boss at my "regular" job - Never has someone done so little with so much......
