About Me

"I live on the edge of the universe and I don't need to feel safe." Raoul Vaneigem, The Revolution of Everyday Life

"Society has to be studied in the individual, and the individual in society; those who wish to seperate politics from morals will never understand either." -Jean Jaques Rousseau

"Freedom is so much the essence of man that even its opponents realize it... No man fights freedom; he fights at most the freedom of others." -Karl Marx

My Interests

Other people's lives and all the attendent wonder they contain, watching the seasons change day by day as I walk, starring at maps and thinking about the cool places I want to see, playing my guitar

I'd like to meet:

You

Music:

Springsteen, Constantines, Lennon, Costello, Dylan, Guthrie, Beethoven, Chopin, old folk and blues

Movies:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Short Cuts, Constant Gardner, Babel, Young Frankenstein, Im Juli, Before Sunset

Television:

The Daily Show, the History Channel, stuff that doesn't move too fast or have a lot of loud graphics... T.V. is a highly disposable medium therefore it is a dubious decision to get too attached to any T.V. show.

Books:

Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, Maggie Cassidy by Jack Kerouac, Dubliners by Jame Joyce, National Geographic Family Reference Atlas, For Whom the Bell Tolls by Earnest Hemingway, East of Eden by John Steinbeck, Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

Heroes:

Martin Luther King, Jr., for his mericful and powerful spirit, his eloquence and passion, for his moral clarity. a
