I build stuff. Need work of any kind done on your house? Interior/exterior/finish/framing/custom cabinetry or fine woodworking? I can do that for you.
i love biking, hiking, camping, rock climbing, cooking, coffee, and dark chocolate. among other things.
characters of depth, intelligence, and intrigue.
to name a few: Tom Waits, Ozomatli, The Meters, Les Claypool, Soulive, Sam Kininger, The New Deal, Maceo Parker, James Brown, Peter Tosh, Brazilian Girls, Lotus, Thievery Corporation, Touching Saturn, YMSB, Johnny Cash, JBB, Flaming Lips, Railroad Earth, K-OS, J5. . .
I mostly enjoy foreign, independent, and classic films. A few recently viewed films: Blue Velvet, The Host, Meet the Feebles, The Devil's Backbone, Seven Samurai, Army of Darkness, The Bicycle Thief, City of God, The Third Man, Being There, For a Few Dollars More, The Constant Gardner, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. . .
I think that Samurai Jack is the best tv show/cartoon of all time.
A few authors that I have been reading recently: Umberto Eco, Thomas Friedman, Paolo Coelho, Bukowski, Thich Nhat Han, Tom Robbins, Kerouac, Lao Tzu, Ken Kesey, Dumas. . .
Bukowski. That guy could kick my ass and drink me under the table when he was 70
