About Me

Meet Jon, he quarter-century dreamer, passionate, thrill-seeker, visionary, people-loving, disallusioned one. Hopeless romantic. I seek life and life seeks me.Our critique begins as all critiques begin, with doubt. Doubt became our narrative. Ours was a quest for a new story, our own. And we grasped towards this new history with the suspicion that ordinary language couldn't tell it. Our past appeared frozen in the distance, and that our every gesture and accent signified the negation of the old world and the reach for a new one. The way we lived created a new situation, one of exhuberance and friendship, that of a subversive microsociety in a society which ignored it. Art was not the goal but the occassion and the method for locating our specific rythym and varied possibilities of our time. The discovery of a true communication is what it was about or at least the quest for such a communication. The adventure of finding it and losing it. We the unappeased the unaccepting continued looking, filling in the silences with our own wishes, fears and fantasies, driven forward by the fact that no matter how empty the world seemed, no matter how degraded and used up the world appeared to be, we knew that anything was still possible and given the right circumstances, a new world was just as likely as the old one.

My Interests

I'm getting tired of this list and working on something different/better. To come soon

New Profile Layout and Features Coming Soon

I'd like to meet:

YOU!
I aim to leave my mark on the world by leaving something whose exists supersedes that of my own short time on this earth. I would very much like to have some of my work either my writing or projects to be appreciated by others. Some of my current personal projects involve uniting the numerous social music projects into a universally accessible application.What I really want is an intelligent sincerity which is not vexed by failures and shortcomings past, present, or future.

And check out my photo scrapbook sometime at http://pics.livejournal.com/coru_rhaw/ if you'd like. I will start updating it with some of the wacky pictures I take in my adventuresNo Doubt - Running

Television:

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Books:

"Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit."
