About Me

Sometimes, knowing what you're looking for keeps you from finding anything else.

"Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper." - Larry Flynt

"Chance favors the prepared mind."

My Interests

Been a while since I've been big on drinking, though I do terribly enjoy a craft brew. These days I'm living for free, letting the excesses of American capitalism sustain me, and wishing I was able to work and not contribute to the evils of the world. I read books. I write propaganda on the internet, printed pamphlets, and the walls of your city. I'm converting a 1990 Ford B700 to run on vegetable oil. We call ourselves the Onward bus collective, but let's be serious, we're legally an RV. Destroy everything you don't consent to. You didn't make these laws, nor do you agree with them. Tear it all down.

I'd like to meet:

A tattoo artist.Organic farmers. People who want to start a collective house.

Music:

I must, in all fairness, warn you; my taste in music is reputedly deplorable. I like hip-hop, trip-hop, anything experimental or avant garde. Theres always the rock 'n' roll, prog rpck, electrorock, rockabilly, alt rock, classic rock, oldies. oh shit, i left out PUNK RAWK! Don't forget the funk or soul, jazz is pretty important. Then some folky/dykey music. I enjoy some world music too. sometimes i like listening to people who can sing really well. Look, I've got pictures!

Movies:

Tampopo, I 3 Huckabees, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Royal Tennenbaums, Strike!, La Dolce Vita, Citizen Kane, Bio-Dome, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Purple Rain, The Triplets of Belleville, The Big Lebowski. That's probably it for now.

Television:

EAT FLAMING DEATH FACIST MEDIA PIGS!

Books:

Vonnegut, Fitzgerald, Salinger, Huxley, Steinbeck, Orwell, Selby, Hesse, a lot of old school philosophy, gimme some presocratics anyday

Heroes:

nah but seriously, i gotta lotta people i admire for various reasons. Gautama, Lao-Tze, Nietszche, Emma Goldman, Kierkegaard, Socrates, Vonnegut, Leonardo, Thoreau, Alfonso Rattrovo, Dayn DeRose, Gabe Rhodes, Joe Russo, Dose, Sage, Mighty Mos, Orson Welles, Dali, Ani DiFranco, Glyphia and Xylon Doulas, John Peck, Alan Watts, Proudhon.
