About Me

I am a proud and adamant Atheist. I find religion to be the greatest evil on the face of this planet. I spend a great deal of my time listening to www.freethoughtradio.com. If you have an open mind, or want to...give it a listen.
Additionally, I have come to believe that while there are many in this vast world of ours we are one. If one innocent man is imprisoned, then none of us are free. If one woman hungers, then none of us are satiated. If one child cries, the whole world's laughter is meaningless.
I am presently recovering from a trip to China with the Dallas Children's Theatre.

I can only hope that another touring position will come open as I never again want to pay rent on an apartment or shackle myself to a car payment and insurance bills. I have no desire for material things in this world, and am focused on living without the cages that they build.

Oh, and...
My score on The Three Variable Political Test :
Civil Rights Liberal
(68% Liberal, 28% Capitalist, 93% Radical)
You scored in the upper half of the Liberal Category. You prefer individualism over community rights although I'm not sure how much due to scoring category restraints. At the very minimum, you could be mainstream American and at the very maximum you could lean libertarian-esque or even towards Anarchism.You scored in the bottom half of the Capitalist category which probably means you're socialist leaning. You lean towards the planning style economy but wouldn't call yourself a Communist. Socialist, perhaps.You scored in the upper ten percent of the radical category which very much means you're all for social equality at any means possible and necessary. The state should be active in leveling the playing field for women, minorities, immigrants and the like.I call you a Civil Rights Liberal because you're huge on social equality. You're also socialistic leaning and fairly liberal on equality under the law but nothing matches your fervor for civil rights.

My Interests

Theatre,
Music,
Guitar,
travel ..

Places that I have travelled. Additionally, I have seen all 50 U.S. states.

I'd like to meet:

My own expectations

Music:

Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Wilco, Damien Rice, Ben Folds, Ben Harper, John Gorka, David Lamotte, David Wilcox, Neil Young, David Bowie, Dave Matthews, The Animals, Modest Mouse, Roger Waters when I'm not listening to show tunes. Hey, I'm an actor. And Stephen Sondheim rules.

Kurt Cobain.... You are a very depressed person but yet you can
create good things through your talent.
However you don't realize how talented you are.
Good possibility you do drugs such as weed.

Which rockstar are you like?

Corporate radio is evil. The only purpose that it serves is to hypnotize the masses with meaningless droll. We need a rebirth of music with a purpose. Where are the next Bob Dylans the next Phil Ochs. If you don't know who Pete Seeger is then I pity you. Hip-hop is the opiate of the enslaved.

Movies:

The Best Picture of Last Year was Babel despite what the Academy may have said. The Last Two Years the Academy has voted against the Best Picture of the Year in favor of a more political agenda within its own ranks. Trust the Foreign Critics and watch the Globes.

Television:

PINK HAD IT RIGHT! THROW THE DAMN THING OUT THE WINDOW

Books:

I will always love Kerouac, Ferlinghetti, Ginsberg, Hunter S. Thompson and J.D. Salinger. Kurt Vonnegut, Mark Twain, and Shakespeare are always on my reading list. And, of course, Bob Dylan's Chronicles Volume 1.

Heroes:

BOB DYLAN
LENNY BRUCE
Keith Olbermann
