About Me

School then work then sleep then school then work then sleep........Well, not so much sleep these days.

My Interests

http://talen.textamerica.com/ scuba, surfing, computers, climbing, throwing gigs, getting new digs, meeting girls, tight red curls, rebels & renegades, hacks, cyberpunk, cracks, don't fake the funk, lepidoptera, photography, new technology, long black flowing tresses - like a river, mmm makes me hungry.

I'd like to meet:

HG Wells' most popular is apparently science fiction so how about a dead man with a winning lottery ticket in his clammy hand - Aisha Tyler, Anthony Hopkins, Howard Hughes, and that woman - you know...the friendly intelligent jawdropper

Music:

Yoko Kanno, Hybrid, Raymond Scott, Way Out West, Blackwatch&Greed, Mos Def, Frehel, Massive Attack, James Horner, Thievery Corporation, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bjork, Faithless - Maxi's voice is hypnotic. I like the sound of a didjeridoo, bagpipes, & shenhai, sitar, erhu - and other kooky stuff...there's too much Mon Dieu!

Movies:

Michael Mann, Ed Zwick, Ridley Scott, Wes Anderson, Howard Hawks, John Huston, Terry Gilliam, Cowboy Bebop, Hitchcock, Shawshank, Great Race, Papillon, Rocketeer, Casablanca, Foreign Correspondent, It Happened One Night, My Man Godfrey, Black Swan, Adventures of Baron Munchausen, again there's too many... consult AMC & TCM for your sustenance in B&W classics - good stuff.

Television:

BBC World News

Books:

National Geographic is a staple. Discovery of the World-Marco Polo, Rainbow Six-Tom Clancy, Gashlycrumb Tinies-Ed Gorey, Killing Pablo-Mark Bowden, Jack London, Fred Hatfield-North of the Sun, Teachings of Don Juan-Carlos Casteneda, Carl Sagan, Shirley Jackson, Jules Verne, Thomas Jefferson et al....

Heroes:

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” - Abraham Lincoln
