About Me


Music is a big deal for me. I play my guitar a lot. It makes me happy, even though it sometimes tortures me.

If I ever had free time, I imagine that I'd go off on another misadventure, perhaps contemplating the meaning of foolishness as I find my way out from under another logjam, or perhaps chasing another girl to another far off land. Of course, that's purely conjecture; I don't have free time anymore!

I'm in school hoping to find a performance degree in musicology wedged in one of my books. Then I'll embark on my next big adventure: world travel and ethnomusicological field work. Travel, listen to music, play music, get paid. My dream come true!

..

If, for some reason you're still reading this, here are all my secrets:
I tend to live in a world of twisted fantasy. I speak of dreams as if they are certainties, and of myself as if I were a paragon of who I strive to be. And to that end, I tend to work almost as hard as I let on. I tend to clam up if something really bothers me, because I'm not willing to converse on it until I've explored it thoroughly on my own first. I'm a skeptic, but by no means a cynic. I sometimes wish I were less observant and more naive, because it takes all the fun out of life. Now, Ssshhh!! Don't tell anybody...
If you want to "know about my personality", go read Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. It describes who I want to be, and, as far as I'm concerned, who a person strives to become is far more consistent than who they are at any given time... Enjoy!

My Interests

Anything cultural: Music, food, language, philosophy, history, religion, art, politics...


Aside from all that cerebral stuff, I love the wilderness (there are few things more gratifying than making fire with your hands), performing live (acting, singing, playing an instrument, comedy... anything that sparks a reaction), and strapping things on my feet that make me go faster (rollerblades, ice skates, skis, snowboard).

I'd like to meet:

My maker--I've got some questions for that guy! Him, and maybe Homestar Runner ...

Music:

I love to play. Blues, flamenco, classical, gypsy jazz, 70's rock (especially Clapton's projects)

My Blog

Breaking out in song...

Just had my big operatic debut tonight.  I sang as the Mikado in Gilbert & Sullivan's Mikado at the VCC Auditorium.  It was fully produced and directed by the VCC Madrigal Singers, and i...

A new poem...

I wish I could traverse the distance in your eyes. I'd hold you, from the first to the final stifled cries.   I wish that if I kissed your lips It could do more than stop the lies. Or is there s...

Reflecting on the Present:

An instant passes, a moment takes flight--A burning ember into the night,And hope or pray or plead as I might,I can never still the dying light.    ...

Urban? Well....

"I guess I'll give it a shot..." Best decision I've made this week:  (Better than yesterday's decision to make strawberry-Grand Marnier gelato) This afternoon, I got a last minute call to pl...

Check out my music spaces!

I've been working on myspace pages for my solo efforts as well as for my band.  They're still under construction, much like this space, but at least the music is a finished product......
