helping people get fit. social change. birthday challenges. film. making fun of the spectacle we've created. i ride bikes a lot, climb a lot, run a lot, sometimes compete a lot. other than that, i spend a fair chunk of time writing, reading, studying, and occupying various pubs and coffee houses.
i've got a great circle of friends around the world but, ya know, friends; you can't have too many.i travel a lot, so those that like to get out and do stuff are always welcome additions. especially those who hit the pub, er, i mean climb, ride (anything without a motor), and generally like to push limits but aren't so serious they can't hit to pub afterwards. there, that sounds better. what am i supposed to say? my bike team is sponsored by a pub.
i tend get along with those who embrace and challenge life. we only get one shot at it, as far as we know, so we might as well make the best of it.
as we say at birthday challenge, live your life
and meeting this guy wouldn't suck either.
pretty eclectic tastes: from mozart, to trance, to 70s soul, to zero 7, to miles davis, to los tigres del norte, international folk music, and in between. pretty much anything but pop except, of course, korki butchek, who is number one recording artist in all of central asia.
i'd seen the AFI top 100 list prior to its release, so i guess you could say i'm a film buff.
43 Films That You Must See
note: this article was written before the release of the life aquatic, the finest film of the decade, so far. docs, like why we fight, have led the list over the last couple of years, though layer cake, badasss, and the proposition stand out in the narrative genre.
if i had TV i'd watch the daily show and the colbert report but my television only gets dvds. tv worth renting seems to all come from hbo: da ali g show, deadwood, firefly, and sex and the city (that's right, buddy. so i watch an occasional chick flick. if my life ever gets to the point that i need to watch UFC to raise my testosterone levels, it'll be time to cash out.)
fairly well versed in the classics, and always have a few books going. whatever happened to writing like this?
anyone who lives with passion and, more importantly, compassion.
this paul watson speech is long but if you've got 30 minutes it might change your life.inspiring, indeed.
