About Me

I'm a social liberterian, writer, critic. I'm into photography, art, indie films, music, history, economic theory, philosophy. I suffer from a rare genetic eye disease, Retinitis Pigmentosa

I spend most of my time working, writing, updating my wordrobe, going to concerts, antique stores. I also love to go clubing, the more industrial the better.

My Interests

Exploring the world as it can be perceived, intellectual discussions that I can't ever quite seem to find.
Enjoyment, connectedness, dark bars with great bands that no one has ever heard of - drinking a thirty dollar bottle of wine from a plastic cup.

I'd like to meet:

Chuck Palahniuk, William Gibson, Trent Reznor, the Spice Girls

Music:

Celldweller, Bent, Explosions in the Sky, Nine Inch Nails, Vigilantes of Love, Joe Henry, Uncle Tupelo, Elliott Smith, the Postal Service, the Flaming Lips and too many others to ever mention.

Movies:

Jackie Brown, Sin City, Blue Velvet, Undertow, Fight Club, Brazil, Princess Mononoke. Basically anything by David Lynch, Terry Gilliam, David Gordon Green.

Television:

Carnival, Firefly, Drawn Together, Six Feet Under, Twin Peaks, Lost, Rome. I hate commericals so I don't watch that much tv.

Books:

William Gibson, Orwell, Neal Stephenson, Chuck Palahniuk, Jonathan Franzen, Connie Willis, Ambrose

Heroes:

TheFIRE.org, F.A. Hayek, George Orwell. People who don't get caught up in the left/right of an issue but question the basic assumptions of the debate.
