I am here for Friends

About Me

I play music by myself and with my friends , and sometimes I carry dishes places .

My Interests

Uh... I've been trying for a few minutes to think of how to say all this in a way that doesn't come off as pretentious, but I'm pretty sure that's a stupid thing to do. I like ideologies and worldviews, and I like learning about them. Things like primal religions, contemporary organized religions, subculture, etc etc. So yeah, I like learning and talking about things like that. I like listening to and playing music. I also like talking about it. I like chilling out, and I have very little patience for people that, for whatever reason, are unable to chill out. I like feeling frustrated, angry and helpless when it comes to politics, but I don't like to talk about it.

I'd like to meet:

Hey, everybody. Why not?

Music:

Devo, The Wipers, Arthur Russell, The [English] Beat, punk rock, King Jammy, Elvis Costello, Mad Professor, Nation of Ulysses, dancehall, the Buzzcocks, Magazine, Harmonia, Modern Lovers, Parts & Labor, Can, Talking Heads

Movies:

Dr. Strangelove, Slacker, Videodrome, The Big Lebowski, the first half of Full Metal Jacket. Essentially things that are funny and/or have explosions.

Television:

Discovery and History channel shows about aliens and/or ancient civilizations. Arrested Development. Aeon Flux. The Wire. Lost.

Books:

Breakfast of Champions, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Sun Also Rises, and the Crying of Lot 49 are generally the ones I mention when people ask. I feel like there's gotta be One Book that, upon first reading it, I'll immediately recognize as an all-encompassing summary of everything I've ever cared about or stood for. And that book is The Bible. Just kidding, but once I find that book, it'll probably be my favorite. If you've got any recommendations, let me know.
