About Me

What came first? The music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns and watching violent videos, we're scared that some sort of culture of violence is taking them over...But nobody worries about kids listening to thousands -- literally thousands -- of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable, or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

My Interests

major league baseball, kentucky basketball, writing, films, books. things of that nature.

I'd like to meet:

Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soulmate and his fiance. He was 35 years old and soft-spoken and obsessive. Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But in the final days of his life he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona...surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit for his long-reputed soulmate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night...in complete and utter failure.Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief... that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather it's a tapestry of events...that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life."Things were clearer for him, " Kansky noted.Ultimately, Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum," - what we currently refer to as destiny.
