TRANSCENDENCE, ART, MUSIC, LITERATURE, POETRY, PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO ART. different/new ways of knowing, different/new ways of experiencing. Believe it or not, I LOVE a good lecture, not the demeaning sort, I prefer transcendental, but strait up educational will do. Other interests include, politics and power structures, Marx, social constructivism, social science, different religions/cults, philosophies/perceptions, linguistics, neurolinguistics, neurobiology, evolutionary biology, cultural anthropology, Goethe, Steiner, animal rights, environmental issues, health food, Macrobiotics, meta physics, the paranormal, quantum theory, lucid dreaming, time travel, "Billy" Meijer, other dimensions/trans-dimensional experiences, string theory, wave length theory. When it comes to video games I'm pretty picky cause I'm generally not too into it, but the games I love, I REALLY love. I absolutely love Fable for Xbox360 and Fable 2 has exceeded my expectations! I also admire the design work on Black and White and dig the god complex concept. I absolutely love Peter Monlinou's take on design, he's a genius and I'm a huge fan! I also am a fan of Tim Shaffer creator of Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, Psychonauts. Also wasted many a hour playing Spiderman and Tony Hawk for Xbox. I am a fan of the spoken word and stand up of, Jello Beafra, Bill hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Zach Galifanackis, Daniel Tosh, Steven Wright, Jim Gaffagan, Jeanne Garaflo, Demetri Martin, Patton Oswald, and Henry Rollins...other cultures, other perspectives....new thoughts and ideas...

PROCRASTINATION
I'd like to meet:
Myself from the future, myself from the past.....Below are my BOYZ! I'd be happy to meet them any day :)
Music:
MOSTLY,THE NAIN ROUGE. (See my blog THE NAIN ROUGE IS...) but also MOST OF MY FRIENDS, so check them out!!! Also any kind of music/noise that makes me feel something. My fiance Tim is a founding member of the NAIN ROUGE, and I have been very involved from the beginning, though most intensely for the last 5 years or so (the first date tim asked me on was the NAIN ROUGE's 1st show). I'm into music/art thats really intense, extremely thoughtful and totally honest, genuine and provocative. Some of my favorite bands, I think are best at orchestrating tension and chaos, examples: neurosis, botch, nirvana (bleach), dillinger escape plan (calculating infinity), thoughts of ionesco, norma jean, the chariot, since by man, today is the day, anything mike patton, mr. bungle, the locust, isis, mastodon, converge, breather resist, young widows, these arms are snakes, Wolf Eyes, Playing Enemy, Hemingway, A Death Cinamatic, Art of Falling, Lick Golden Sky, Intronaut, Swallow the Ocean, Engineer, Refused, the International noise conspiracy (survival sickness), Modest Mouse (Antarctica & ...nasty parlor tricks), At the Drive In, Mars Volta, KNUT, Unsane, Swallow the Ocean, Russian Circles, Maps and Atlases. 2 Great indie MI labels that I love, that put out killer jams and are good friends are Friction Records (GR) and Saw Her Ghost Records (Birmingham). Definitely take note of these terrific MI bands as well: Amino Acids, Fortune Favors the Bull, Slicer Dicer, Signs of Collapse, Bahumut, Today I Wait, Idol and the Whip, Super Continent, If He Dies He Dies, Ozenza, La Dispute, Victor! Fix the Sun, Beast in the Field, And the Sky Went Red, Human Wick Effect, Stab Stab Die
