About Me

I'm starting to have sarcastic contempt for the dilettantanti that think they have a true feel for good music that someone told them they should like. Vacuous twats. Possibly worse than hippies or republicans.. I can't wait until they get back into to shit tecnho and coldplay. A yachtrock disco revival shoud have them all back to being more humorous and less hateable soon. I predict that as the next cool trend they will follow aimlessly. Christ, even a His Name is Alive shit era 4AD comeback would have at least been funny. At home, these fuckers all have still Alanis Morissette Cd's... :-)

Loved, feared, hated, unpredictable.

I enjoy terse wit and cutting edge pyrotechnics.

My Interests

All things rock and roll and its many bastard electronic children. Interested in getting out of Pittburgh. Excitement, music, travel, learning, exploring, experiences, doing.. Interesting. Sounds, words, ideas. Humor. Passion. Truth. Beauty, the Grotesque and dark. Empire building. Art. Food. Pastillas and other mind altering experiences. Passion. Ancient and modern history and its various artifacts and legacies.. War. Connections, origins of things. The human animal and psyche. Societies, civilizations, questions, answers, philosophy, thinking. Gripping tales of facts and yarns of fiction. Going on epic benders. Cultures, anti-culture. Wondering why we are here. Relaxed leisure. The future..

I'd like to meet:

People who are not blank slates and lame idiots. People who form their own ideas and opinions rather than to latch on to those of others. Although without them, who would I make fun of?
