My Interests

Music, friends, fly fishing, ink, cigars/tobacco, trees, animals, history, esoteria, pontificating... and sleeping. I used to be an anarchist but now that I own shit, I am basically a libertarian.

I'd like to meet:

I have yet to meet a trout I didn't like, but I'd love to meet these:

a wide variety... anything from Art Blakey to Frank Zappa.

I appreciate good music regardless of genre. I'm not impressed with rock stars but rather genius, innovation or simply a good melody.

Books:

Not much anymore, used to love Sci fi/fantasy (Tolkien, Asimov, Eddings, Anthony) but rarely have time to read. Like the timeless classics (Thoreau, Emerson, Conrad, Hemingway, etc) even went through my pre-requisite Kerouac/Burroughs/Bukowski phase. Now mostly read about current events. Hunter S. Thompson's corpse for President (it'd do a better job than our current asshole)!

Heroes:

Ganesh has always given me alot of inspiration.... I love religious works as metaphors, but fear them as dogma.As for true heroes....My Dad, HL Mencken, Joseph Campbell, Hunter S Thompson, Bill Hicks, oh so many more....Mostly my closest friends. I admire integrity especially in the face of adversity. oh, and of course...
