About Me

1st a message to the evil: you think you are profiling me, but i'm profiling you bitch. i know you better than you know me. i know you better than you know yourself. i know what you will say before you say it, whereas, you do not know that i'm going to say or do inspite of your efforts to track me and know me. i know your object: power, but you do not know mine: love. i'd say fuck you, but i needn't because you are already fuck'd. good luck rotting in your skin you soul-less crap.

now to the people: i'm probably more like you than either one of us would like to admit.

My Interests

philosophy. cycling. surfing. food & dining. public radio. putting an end to our current style of government: learning and teaching freedom.

I'd like to meet:

embodied spirit gracefully shining for the selective eyes view

Music:

music is supposed to be art - so i like some art in my music. but art is a reflection of its times and for this reason i am particular as the barbarian and the idiot have joined hands in order to rule the day.

Movies:

endless summer is the best movie i've recently seen.. its an excersise in cultural imperialism, but its so naive about that fact that the film becomes sweet.

Television:

turn them off if you want to be free.

Books:

attn philosophers, save your time with the bull shit and read the following.
phenomenology of spirit (hegel)
being and time (heidegger)

Heroes:

those who make it to the top of the mountain and take the in the view while they stand up there for a bit before returning to the fighting animals below
