About Me

misanthropologist

a random packet of energy on a ceaseless oscillation towards the unknown

My Interests

Travel, reading, plants, hot springs, hiking, camping, green curry, fireworks, stout, conceptual physics, trains, cultural anthropology, medical anomalies, natural and ethnic body piercing jewelry, authenticity, potential energy...

I'd like to meet:

someone who can explain how mathematics = god;
people with tails

Customers and fans of our Organic jewelry are welcome to
add us as friends and to make comments testimonial style. Thanks!

I am trying to limit the amount of Myspace friends I have here. I really do prefer quality over quantity. Real friends are here to stay. Good comment leavers are safe. Profiles with inane main photos, terrible aesthetics, and poor spelling will be denied. People I don't know either personally or professionally either as peers or customers are unlikely to be added, unless you are obviously someone I would enjoy having a beer with.

Please email me at my regular email address (NOT through here!).
I have the email function set to 'away'; your message will not reach me here.

If you want to submit a clear picture of yourself wearing Organic jewelry
for our photo gallery , email it to us at our normal address.

------------- I WILL NOT ADD YOUR BAND!!! --------------
Alrighty then.

P.S. I will deny most comments with HTML/pictures...
I want those with slow connections to be able to load this page.
So keep 'em small and beautiful: make me want 'em.

Music:

Ethnic music, experimental, loops, noise, water, fire...

Movies:

Mainly foreign films, wacky stuff, anything time lapse, visuals with no plots...
Here's one you must see: Even Dwarves Started Small by Werner Herzog.

Television:

Why is this even a category?
Why not have a video game category instead?
To which I would reply: Ms. PacMan! Old school arcade love.

Books:

I primarily like books on cultural anthropology (especially as it relates to body modification), entheogenic plants, intense artwork, medical illustration, conceptual physics, ethnographic jewelry and ornament.
I have almost exclusively read non-fiction for the past 15 years or so.
I can spend hours in university libraries.

Heroes:

My ancestors
The narration of David Attenborough
Life vs. entropy
The unknowable
