About Me

Anything i say about myself can and will be confused against me in a later context. Favor your instincts and ask. You want any gooey morsels from my brain wrinkles, try to pry them out from between lobes with the blunt instruments of language and meaning. Please. Don't lick your fingers, i've given you enough cookies. Still, i'll answer. Sharpen your wit and sterilize your questions, they can answer much more than intended. Observe your research into the science of discontent. Something begins. Ontology reciprocates phylogeny. Searching the chaos in order, while the order in chaos may be more rewarding by a figment of contrast: the lingering strange attraction in even the most carefully random scenario reveals the tenacity of the natural universe to organize itself with an unerringly proficiently flawed symmetry. And it is so strange; so very attractive. The pattern repeats, but the flaws persist perfectly. I hope that in its alchemies, what i say can be heard in its potential meaning; an aching golden truth in my jaw, which remains.Take the quiz:
What Song Will They Play At Your Funeral? ((PIX!!))

You won't have a funeral
Odd. You're either immortal, have no living relations, were found face down in the gutter somewhere like Poe, or all of the above. I can't seem to pin you. I guess that means you get to choose. Aren't you lucky?

You Are 78% Evil
You are very evil. And you're too evil to care.
Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot. How Evil Are You? Surprisingly, i'm still a really kind person. Usually.

My Interests

Fermenting things. Cocoa, grains, fruit, ideas. Remember to thank the yeast. Glycolysis still fascinates me. Natural Science. Philosophy. I'm in it for the really big payoff, understanding life, the universe, and everything. While doing something else for income. Preferably something else i also inherently enjoy enough to not become deranged from a full time schedule of it.

Which Tarot Card Are You?
You are the Hermit card. The Hermit has chosen a solitary spiritual path. He shines light on his inner self and, by this means, gains wisdom. The Hermit's home is the natural world and it is by being in tune with that world that he learns the laws of nature and learn how they operate within himself. His path is a lonely one as he lives in silence and has for companionship only his own internal rhythms. But those crossing his path are touched by his light and wisdom. Though often alone, he manages nevertheless to instruct those who meet him and guides those who chose to follow him on a path towards enlightenment.

I'd like to meet:

Friendly aliens, preferably vegetarian ones, just in case. You. Maybe. Me, in high school, with a list of specific advice and sporting event scores. Real life cartoon and nonfictional characters. People i've met or know or haven't met but know anyway. People with surrealistic jobs which would almost drive me insane, preferably hiring. Several prehistoric deities, nameless ones. Someone who won't mind trying to teach me to dance. Someone who makes me laugh, preferably with and for, rather than mostly just at them. Smart-asses, neither dumb- nor jack- need apply; and it helps if the brain parts are smart too. How hip is your pocampus? I'd like to meet the unearthly apparition of several famous dead scientists, more to hear their observations on the dying process and see how their works persist than for any really personal inquiry. Although a hint on Lottery picks from a certain Mr. Turing wouldn't hurt. Mystics, lunatics and rocket surgeons, no derelicts or southern-fried hicks on a crucifix. Anybody with a positive fascination for learning. People who tolerate being talked at and listened to simultaneously, and those who think out loud because they're sharing, not because they move their lips when they read minds. Co-conspirators, partners, and whisperers. If you somehow manage to shock me, i'll probably just laugh. Warped records are more creative listening material when Tchaikovsky is played at 78 rpm, and if you're odd but brilliant i'll probably be nicer to your wierd self...in case you go all Hannibal Lecter on me with your fava beans and nice chianti. I don't want to meet anymore people, ever, who can't use the proper form of words like "allot / a lot", "there / their / they're" and "your / yore /you're" or misplace apostro(phi)es catastro(phi)cally. Save me from text message (il)literacy.

You are at medium risk for having a social phobia. It is somewhat likely that you feel most comfortable in your mom's basement.

You are at medium risk for obsessive compulsive disorder. It is somewhat likely that you are addicted to hand sanitizer. How Abnormal Are You?

Music:

"Acquired Tastes" in general, i like things i haven't heard yet and understand well enough to expect to enjoy them more as time passes. Music i suppose. Electronic, Ethnic, Ambient, Organic...the aging refrigerator's compressor shuddering with the crickets outside as the sink drips and distant sirens fade past with canine chorus. The music of celestial radio, industrial noise and lingering voices. If you play britney at me i'll burst into flames, forever. Some whose choice of sounds captivates my ear unerringly, and always resonates with the first introduction. In a whispered syllable, suddenly i find i have days of intent listening to do.

Movies:

What about me suggests i'd enjoy two hours in a darkened room watching the work of some revolutionary visual genius unfold on screen? Aside from everything; the willful suspension of (dis)belief? The popcorn? Which Twin Peaks character are you?
You're Agent Albert Rosenfield, the snide and superior forensics expert. Your tongue is sharper than your scalpel, and it doesn't take long for people to start hating you for your supercilious quips, but you are the very best at what you do. You don't suffer fools gladly, but you give respect when it's due. In fact, you're a good guy at heart, but so wedded to your sarcasm that you can rarely stand to treat people kindly.

Television:

Is mostly only worth watching for movies, and even then it's a dubious exchange, bubbles in the soap scum of commercial brainwashing. A few exceptions...CSI, Prison Break, X Files, Discovery Channel and almost anything Nova. Remember Rosie Franklin, kids, the Cathode Ray Tube can emit X-rays. Marie Curie's glowing portrait. Bad Genetics. Television will swallow your soul. Like Elmo.

When living in space, Never open Windows.

Books:

Authors instead. Some. I always want more new things on my To Read list. Frank Herbert, Neal Stepheson, Kathe Koja, (lusciously dark) Phil Hine, Isaac Asimov, Bruce Sterling, Umberto Eco, (gratuitously thought-demanding) Harlan Ellison, Egdar Cayce, (too funny) William Gibson, Anne Rice, Robert Graves, J.R. Tolkien, Edgar Allen Poe, Lewis Carroll, Aleister Crowley, Robert Heinlein, H.P. Lovecraft, D.H. Lawrence, Kurt Vonnegut, Anthony Bourdain, George Orwell, Stephen Hawking, Bertrand Russell and anything burned at Alexandria. (Does anyone have a convenient, portable cuneiform-to-english dictionary i could borrow?) A slowly growing heap of darkly beautiful children's stories.

Heroes:


Shave the cheerleader; shave the world. I hate it when television tempts me with all the possibilities that a new series has, and later fails to develop or reveal. Back to the evolution of a plot, not a plot of evolution. Heroes find the courage and means to do that greatest and infinite task which is uniquely theirs and ours to do, exist, and in such an unquestionably elegant and simple fashion that we all wonder what keeps us from living like ourselves. Raise the level of individuals, not praise their heroes as something rare that all could not be. Listen to them, and try not to repeat, "we all have to think for ourselves" in monotones. That helps. For all those who stare into the sun:
