About Me

I am a human who has all limbs and organs pretty much intact.
I want so badly to be a 19th Century nobleman, so I can write, draw, sway politics, compose music and EXPLORE new TERRITORIES, and when there I can be a naturalist, discovering, sketching and naming new species, and be allowed to do all of these things to rave reviews, without someone saying I have to choose one thing and stick with it for money. or else I'll starve to death. God Damn It.

Here is a BLOG of NEWS that I write when I have the fucking time: The World is Not Boring

My Interests

adventure, nerdy intellectual things, art, science, monsters, all culture, words, media, the social sciences, nature, robots, forests, swamps, cliffs, deserts, buildings and the people that inhabit them.

I'd like to meet:

More humans who I can relate to deeply, of either gender, in order to reaffirm the idea that I am, indeed, a member of this species and not some sort of alien drop-off or fluke.
These people include but are definitely not limited to
happy mutants
cynics
artists
writers
subgenii
publishers
hopefuls
geeks
musicians
scientists
journalists
photographers

etc. Etc.

Music:

Movies:

I have not seen enough movies.However I really like a few.Brazil, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, No Country For Old Men, Hudsucker Proxy, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Corporation, Clockwork Orange, Paprika...etc. I must see more, obviously.

Television:

Satire sometimes still lives there. When it is funny, smart, and right, I will watch it.
