About Me

I don't really believe in "about me" profiling for a few reasons;
1. Its a lot more fun learning about someone/something according to your own personal vocab and semantics.
2. Words are pitifully insufficient and often counter-intuitive, considering it takes a thousand of them to describe a picture, and a frame is 1/25th of a second.
3. My fingers belong around a guitar, not a keyboard. When they are, they usually have in mind a quote from I-can't-remember-who;

"There are too many people writing books and not enough people reading them."

But, for the time being, I'm happy and aware enough to receive what you've got to offer.

My Interests

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat; the two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link Sydney with Adelaide.
The reason hot-rod owners raise the backs of their cars is that it's easier to go faster when you're always going downhill.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Ravi Shankar, Jeff Buckley, Diamanda Galas, Gary Lucas, Mike Patton, Mice Parade, Cornelius, Valotte, Umegaoka, Lamb, Bjork, Dresden Dolls, Astor Piazzolla, Tool, Soundgarden, Primus.

Movies:

T2, Predator. Predator is good. Better than Twins or Junior or Kindergarten Cop. No, you may laugh, but seriously, it's good.

Movies I like but would rather not mention because doing so would threaten my masculinity;Predator, T2.

Books:

Robert Pirsig, Adam Gopnik, Geoffrey Robertson, Malcolm Gladwell, David Korten, Jonathon Franzen.

What's the story, porning glory? (massive quotefest, sorry)
