I cant say what I want to. Even if I'm not serious

About Me


[I was going to update this to come off less retarded, but I got to this point and realized that I barely even want a myspace anymore. So it was either leave it how it was or delete this whole mother. I decided that I like getting open invitations to bored peoples' houses and helping to offset the ratio of actual site hits to the hits that want to buy ringtones. "You got ripped off .. Reward Center!"]
Oh lord, where do I begin again? I have finally updated this damned section lest anyone should care to read my banal biography, full of high school inconsequentialities and unbecoming details of lust and inebriation, knowing full well that anyone of sufficient kinship to be reading this would already have a more accurate account. If you expect these proceedings to include the aforementioned elements or present a subject matter that is crazy, sexy, hip, or remotely interesting, pilot your myspacing elsewhere comrade. This is not your destination. This is my lame ass bio condemning the forces that preserve the status quo (Wal-Mart? Viacom? The Masons? Who knows?).
I currently reside in Minneapolis, Minnesota where I attend the University of Minnesota for Psychology. I am not going to be a psychiatrist. I am taking a print studio and I love it.
I try to pay attention to the times, making sure to maintain as broad a regimen of periodicals, texts, catalogues, cinema, museums, social functions, music, classes, drugs and food as I can, so as to achieve a balance of knowledge, wisdom, and relevance as well as a sympathetic relationship to mankind, without actually establishing a true sense of the violent and chaotic reality within which I exist. I live in a comfortable environment surrounded by a protective coating of music, design and pop culture to insure that I may observe the passions awoken by the desperate circumstances that are created as byproduct of my convenient lifestyle, without ever experiencing such intense life firsthand. Yes sir, living in America is great, and I know youre loving it like it was McDonalds.
Despite my somewhat vicarious point of view, I like to consider myself fairly aware, or at least conscious in aspirations for truth. I do appreciate my fortunate condition. People who dont appreciate such privileges dont deserve them. If you were born with the capital, you are a disgrace to squander it on bling. I'm hardly one side or the other on most issues, because relative to the human condition the incentives are often pretty obvious and even accessible once allegiances are set aside. That doesn't mean that I don't have strong opinions but I won't judge your deal. I dont have any answers to the problems of uncertainty, but I like to pretend I do just long enough to write a bio. I pretty much do it for humanity, like it was part of the body of scientific knowledge, on some boom bap, hip-hop, blues, soul, rock and roll shit and right now I'm thinking "That's my about me? I can't be serious."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Maynard James Keenan, Good Ol' Socrates, Jack Kerouac, David Cross, Outkast, Bill Hicks, Matthew Barney, Talib Kweli, Rene Descartes, a Buddha, Fuckin' Shah Jahan, Salvador Dali and Leonardo DaVinci. Pretty much all people who still get their props years later (and some of my favorite more contemporary artist). I want to meet alot of people, but it's not something I think about alot. I'm pretty content with the people I know, but then again I'm always down to meet some more people who live artistically. I'm interested to meet some people who's reputations don't precede them so much. I guess that's just more of a surprise.
