Dilettante's Diary

About Me

The sands of my life are going to shift during the next six months. I am not checking this account. If you know my personal email, I can be found there. If you're part of the Rammstein FA, PM me there.

I'm a rugby player first and foremost. After that, I'm an editor and technical writer at a biomedical research center. Oh, yeah, and I'm on the board of directors of American Mensa, which is part of Mensa International, the high-IQ society.

My Interests

Rugby, fencing, fitness, intellectual history, Mensa, writing, literature, gourmet cooking, microbrews.

I'd like to meet:

Rammstein, rugby players, fencers, anyone interested in philosophy and intellectual history.

Music:

Rock. For specifics, Rammstein (big gap between this as no. 1 and the next items), Junkie XL, Orbital, Kraftwerk, Darude, DJ Tiesto, Astral Projection, Front 242, Public Enemy, Squeeze, Sander Kleinenberg. Much else, but these are the artists for which I have more items than fewer.

Movies:

Sample of my tastes: Fight Club, Clerks/KS oeuvre, Boondock Saints, Groundhog Day, Pitch Black, Matrix/Reloaded/Revolutions, Reform School Girls. But I will watch whatever my sweetheart wishes...as long as it's not a chick flick.

Television:

ESPN, MTV, and their international flavors.

Books:

HP Lovecraft.

Neal Stephenson, William Gibson, Herman Melville, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Ellison.

Frank Miller, Alex Ross.

Till Lindemann's book Messer, as soon as I can get my hands on a copy.

Heroes:

Vin Diesel, for living his Plan A day in and day out.

John Godbee, for playing XV rugby at 52.

And anyone who lives with passion and focus.

I decided that my writing was way too serious for myspace. I got tired of silently weeping as my posts of essays expired on herzeleid.com and the Rammstein fan area. I do not expect anyone to read it...
