About Me

I think too much for my own good.I am shy and quiet with little tolerance for small talk and pointless babble.I like good company and stimulating conversation.I love learning new things -and I hate never being able to recall those things when I need them. I deeply appreciate art and things of aesthetic value.I love the Earth -and I am trying not to destroy it so that someday our children can love it too.

My Interests

Trying to understand our nature and that of the world we inhabit.

I'd like to meet:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars-"Jack Kerouac

Music:

Misfits, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, CCR, The Clash, Social Distortion, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, GG Allin, Flipper, Iggy Pop, Subhumans, Dead Boys, NOFX, Less Than Jake

Movies:

I don't watch too many movies but there are a few classics: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Soylent Green, The Big Lebowski, Suburbia, Lord of the Rings, Reservoir Dogs, Bubba Ho-Tep

Television:

is keeping you sedated.

Books:

1984, Ishmael,Story of B, Siddartha, JLS, Tao Te Ching, You Can't Go Home Again, The Great Shark Hunt, On the Road, The Dharma Bums

Heroes:

At this present time I am enthralled by Jack Kerouac and Gary Snyder. I envy how Kerouac spent his life, I wish I could be a wanderer, going wherever the wind takes me. Both their writings, especially the poetry, make me feel alive.

My Blog

On boredom and eyeballs

So...this is my first blog. Well, I am indeed lacking stimulation at the current moment. I had to come in from reading on the balcony because the setting sun was making it impossible to see the pages....
