every sky is blue, but not for me and you

About Me

Honestly, I have been doing less online since music reminded me that it owns me. Which means that you're best just to follow me that way. Or send me a message. Which I will eventually read...
Check out the band online...The MySpace lacks design and most content. But, we've got some songs up there and a link to our little web site. Give us a listen, won't you? (Oh, the name? varnish)
And, actually, to learn a disturbing amount about what I'm like (though none of the essays mention the part where I'm pushy, something of a boy, and trying to break the habit of being mean), you should go read essays about the Kiersey/Meyers-Briggs type INFJ. We're a rare and thrilling breed....
Here are some random facts about me, just because I like to talk about myself:
    "Ontology" has been one of my favourite words since first I stumbled upon it in a philosophy course. It's not so much the sound of the word, I think, as the idea. I can rarely resist sushi, pizza, or french fries. And, now that I'm not vegetarian any more, there is something about a medium rare piece of beef that I find so enticing. I love to dance. Seriously. I have been known to dance hard for six hours straight on a good night. I used to do it every week, in fact. I would prefer to have one intense and long conversation with one person than to have lots of small chitchat with multiple people. If you ask politely and with sincere interest, there are few things about my past or about how I am now that I consider secret.

***I am honestly not very good with MySpace. Not only have I not done anything interesting with the look here, I also never think to check friends' blogs and I never go out looking for friends' MySpace pages. If you had to come find me or we talk and I apparently didn't read your blog, it's nothing personal.***

My Interests

Apparently, my interests do not yet include doing anything very interesting or creative with this page of mine, do they? But they do include hearing your suggestions or offers to make it a nice looking page...

I'd like to meet:

As if putting my fantasies here would change the world. Really....

P.S. It's "whom." Clearly you're a product of the American educational system.

Music:

I'm eclectic enough to annoy anyone and tend not to have favourites in any category. But, I can say that Bowie and Placebo are 2 of the 3 specific things in this world I can easily say are favourites. (Eclectic? So far today, my iPod has played Bowie, Placebo, the Manics, Ice-T, Anything Box, MC Solaar, Beethoven, Bloc Party, Johnny Cash, Blondie, Bob Dylan, Indochine, Underworld, Book of Love, Serge Gainsbourg, Muse, Apocalyptica, Peaches, Sinead Lohan, Front 242....)

Movies:

Oh, I lovelovelove to watch movies. Don't have the time or money to see nearly enough. Pretty eclectic, though what I will enjoy is strongly mood-driven. I tend to prefer science-fiction, fantasy, and foreign films...Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy shouting my approval of things blowing up in action films or people beating each other in Hong Kong films...

Television:

Was a TV junkie for a bit, but then music reclaimed my brain/soul/time. If I do watch, it's likely something like Heroes, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Lost, IT Crowd, the Office...But even those few get hard to cram in when my little soul is craving music.

Books:

I'm a reader. Sadly, my current schedule has stolen that. But I would otherwise read lots of science-fiction, fantasy, comics, and the like. Special place in my heart for cyberpunk, steampunk, and Tolkien.

My Blog

honestly....

so, you do believe me when i say i put the majority of my time and whining into the band's myspace or my livejournal, right? thought i'd post, as it's been well over a year, just to mock any of you st...

I suppose I should make it pretty...

Now that I'm no longer just using MySpace to be able to see photos of my cousin and his band, I guess I should make it pretty. And, honestly, it's on my to-do list.Would anyone like to guess how long ...

Photos from Placebo in Seattle, 21 April, 2007

Look, I'm actually posting something. (Can you tell I only use MySpace membership to let me look at other people's things?) I've got a handful of passable photos (and tons of lousy photos) from Placeb...
