Trey

I caught the AIDS down in Africa.

About Me

I like falling asleep on the couch while watching baseball.

My Interests

life and how to live it

I'd like to meet:

Bill Buckner and Ted Williams

Music:

The National, Gang of Four, CSS, Portishead, The Ramones, Hank Williams Sr., Jr., and III, The Winter Sounds, Modest Mouse, Harvey Milk, The Melvins, LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads, Spoon, Of Montreal, Tom Waits, Bjork, Grandaddy, Band of Horses, Iron and Wine, etc. I like lots of stuff.

Movies:

THERE WILL BE BLOOD is pretty kinda awesome. If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest you remedy that immediately.

Television:

PBS, the History Channel, the Science Channel, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and Sportscenter.

Books:

I've been getting tons of these lately. I bought one today called "Free School Teaching" about radical progressive education systems. I've also been dipping my toe into "A Very Short Introduction to Post-Structuralism" and "Against Method," which is especially interesting because the author is arguing against using reason as the sole basis for knowledge. I'm also infatuated with a book of graffiti art by my new favorite artist (he calls himself Banksy) titled, "Banksy: Wall and Piece." I'm barreling toward the end of that Marcel Duchamp biography, too.

Heroes:

Kill your heroes.

A: nothing.It seems the FBI got caught breaking the law in 2006 -- for the fourth year in a row. By "breaking the law" I mean, demanding private information from your bank, your ISP, your credit burea...

Ever hear of a man named Scooter?

Bush just commuted Scooter Libby's prison sentence hours after his last appeal was denied. Isn't that a monarchical act? That's the act of a king. CNN is talking to a former US attorney right now who'...

Hugo Chavez and George Washington are both assholes.

Random people have begun commenting on my blog, and I don't mean the rash of junk comments trying to sell me a Macy's gift card or whatever. Today, someone from Tennessee left me a comment about my pr...
