About Me

------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------“How we spend our money and invest our savings helps to shape our society and our world by channelling resources in some directions rather than others. Ethical consumerism and ethical investment recognize that people have a responsibility to use their money power, if they can, to support what they think is right and not what they think is wrong, and thus to help to create the kind of society and kind of world they would like to see.” – James Robertson – (Beyond the Dependency Culture p. 178)-------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------Join The Thinking San Diegan's Connection..

My Interests

Gaining knowledge and building on it for the sake of a better world is most important to me. Economics is my area of focus. My other main passion is music. I especially love to sing. I also love to make music with my V-Synth . My other hobbies inlude writing poetry, meeting new people, going on road trips, traveling, going to the beach, bodyboarding, going to awesome clubs, exploring the wilderness, taking pictures, playing sports, and running. If you want to check out my photography Click Here . I'm really into hiking and climbing up tall mountains. The first mountain I climbed was San Jacinto Mountain. I went all alone, there was tons of snow, and the trail was not vissible past the valley of the mountain. It was the craziest thing I've ever done in my life. I can't wait to do something like that again. However, next time I definitely don't want to go alone. If you want to check out my music Click Here . I'm currently looking for a collaborator to produce music with. So if you're interested, let me know.

I'd like to meet:

I'm looking for people that our fun, nice, and humorous. I'm especially looking for people that actually think about things. Someone that doesn't just follow the the crowd. Someone that is idealistic yet open-minded. If you're a vegetarian that's a plus.

Music:

Josh Groban is my favorite singer. Nsync still stirs my heart. Rage Against the Machine is my favorite band. Primus is my second favorite. Most of their shit is pretty damn weird, but some of their compositions are amazing. When it comes to the funk I like Rick James, George Clinton, and Jamiroquai. When it comes to Electronica it's all about Cosmic Gate, DJ Isaac, Alphazone, Flutlicht, Ferry Corsten, and DJ Tiesto. And when it comes to hip hop it's all about The Coup!

Movies:

I watch alot of documentaries. Some of my favorites are: "Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media", "Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy", "The Corporation", "The Weather Underground", and "Che: Investigating a Legend". I like other types of movies too, like "Mind the Gap", "Finding Forester", "About a Boy" and lots of other comedies.

Television:

Mind of Mencia, California's Gold, 60 Minutes, The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, and especially The Research Channel

Books:

Non-fiction, historical fiction, philosophy. Some of my favorites are: "The Wealth and Poverty of Nations" by David S. Landes, "Intellectuals" by Paul Johnson, "Beyond the Dependancy Culture" by James Robertson, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins, "Freakanomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, "Disposable People" by Kevin Bales, "The End of Poverty" by Jeffrey D. Sachs, and "Preparing for the Twenty-First Century" by Paul Kennedy, "No Logo" by Neomi Klein, "Overthrow" by Stephen Kinzer, "How Washington Really Works" by Charles Peters, "Masters of Sociological Thought" by Lewis A. Coser, "Six Thinking Hats" by Edward de Bono, "Handbook for the Positive Revolution" by Edward de Bono, "Profit Over People" by Noam Chomsky, and "The New Industrial State" by John Kenneth Galbraith

I'm in a weird place right now. The world seems to get madder by the day. It's almost as if the goal is to reach Hell. This pattern can be reversed, but why should I even bother? I could become the le...
