About Me

Let's see, about me...

My Interests

I'm into buddhism and eastern philosophy. So much, in fact, that I refuse to capitalize them. I'm a big fan of movies that don't make it to big theaters, and music that never gets played on the radio. I also like classic rock. I play guitar. I used to be a computer nerd, so I guess I still am one, but now I use it mostly to satisfy my insatiable thirst for knowledge (that means looking stuff up online a lot). Hiking and camping are pretty sweet, and being a tree hugger almost comes naturally. And I'm a Psychology major. I'll be starting my PhD training in the Fall! woo!

I'd like to meet:

good, honest people that like to think and act naturally.

Music:

Nick Drake, Aesop Rock, CCR, Pink Floyd, Atmosphere, REM, Prefuze 73, Rufus Wainright, Soul Coughing, M. Doughty, James Taylor, Taj Mahal, Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Howie Day, Medeski, Martin and Wood, The Eels, Jurassic 5, AC/DC, and anyone who can wail on the harmonica like there's no tomorrow.

Movies:

Memento, Harold and Maude, Amelie, Waking Life, Pulp Fiction, Bowling For Columbine, Altered States, Magnolia, Scarface, The Godfather, The Royal Tenenbaums, Requiem For A Dream, Mulholland Drive, Indiana Jones, The Goonies, Trainspotting, Half Baked.

Television:

I don't watch much TV because I don't own one, but I do like to watch the food network to refine my culinary expertise, and learn how to make eel sorbet from the Iron Chefs. For some reason I watch Court TV whenever I get the chance. Particularly Sunday nights when they have the Cops marathon.

Books:

Heaven and Hell, The Doors of Perception, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Tao Te Ching, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Island, Moksha, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Choke, Breakfast of Champions, Thinks..., Introduction to Tantra (Lama Yeshe), Self-Reliance (technically not a book, but a damn good essay)

Heroes:

Aldous Huxley, Robert Pirsig, Ghandi, William James

My Blog

I never post these damn things, so you know it must be important.

I just wanted to let everyone know that my PhD program applications are beginning to bear fruit.  I will be interviewing at Duke University a week from today, and at University of Oregon on Feb. ...
