About Me

Classically educated psychologist/sociologist/human. For most of my life I saw more and more things around me in the world that either didn't make sense, made too much sense or caused me to want to dismantle the whole machine and try to fix the inner workings. Tried that, found the heart of the machine to be rotten and broken. So I gave up, moved into a cave and built a computer from animal skulls and stalagtite drippings just so I could be a part of MySpace and do my part to save the world.

My Interests

Writing (my own and others'), music that means something, movies, reading, the outdoors, and the normal, basic weird shit, like Bigfoot wrestling!Your results:

I'd like to meet:

People who know of things to do around here other than drinking. I'm not knocking drinking, but I am running low on spare livers. HERI edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Music:

Yes, please! Just about anything except 80% of rap. I swear I'm gonna snap if I hear that "let ya shoulda lean" song one more fucking time. Don't make me angry Young Dro, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. Right now I'm digging on Superdrag, Muse, Queens of the Stone Age, Matthew Sweet, The Raconteurs, The Shins and this phenomenal band out of Cortland called The Mellow. Check them out if you get a minute. It'll change your life.

Movies:

Sci-Fi, horror, Wes Anderson, Bill Murray (go rent Where The Buffalo Roam), basically anything worth seeing and most things not worth seeing (Justice League).

Television:

The Repor' baby, The Repor'! Late night Discovery Channel.

Books:

Had to burn my library to stay warm during the winter. I do live in a cave, remember? I couldn't part with my Douglas Adams or Clive Barker. Seriously though, I read like most people breathe. I'll read just about anything. Currently rereading Chris Fuhrman's The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys. Not what you think at all, nothing to do with priests and touching. It's the perfect coming of age story. It's set in the South in the early 70s and tells the story of Francis Doyle, a student at....just go get it and read it. They made a movie version a few years back, not horrible (Only because Josh Homme and Nick O. from QOTSA did the soundtrack) but the book is ten thousand times better.

Heroes:

At least one graveyard full of them.
