About Me

In our assumed reality, I'm a worker bee buzzing in and out of the city of Boston . In my own personal reality, I live in the Republic of Cascadia , working for a cooperative organic farm by day and laying down the greatest bass jams ever with my hardcore cosmic groove band by night.

My opinion on Israel/Palestine which no one will listen to!

I'm not going to take a side... because that's the problem - taking sides. The differences between Arabs and Jews are real, but they were manufactured. They don't have to exist. Once people views th...

This Movie Makes No Sense! (probably because I made it)

A scene from MacDeath 3, made back in 1996 with some help from my friends. I edited out a lot, mainly because most of it is embarrassingly bad (for myself, anyway). But this scene stands well on its...

The Federal Election and My Undecidedness

First I have to say, I'm amazed that Ralph Nader (who I voted for in 2000) is on the ballot in 45 states this year, and that he's polling at around 5-6%.  I really did not expect him to have that...

Ed OReilly or John Kerry? Vote in the Massachusetts primary this Tuesday, 9/16.

No, this is not a contest for "Least Attractive Man from Massachusetts"...this is a debate between the two Democrats campaigning to be our U.S. Senator. My long standing opinion is that John ...

Vermont: Most Likely to Secede

I know that doesn't mean it's likely to anytime soon - the last I checked, only 13% of Vermonters wanted to secede - but it's a start, and it's a goal I'd love to help realize...Vermont: Most Likely t...
