My Interests



MUSIC!!, Film, travel, books, intelligent exchange of ideas, rain, Native American culture, actions that seem to have no meaning, discovering really awesome bands that aren't around anymore and I have no chance of ever seeing live becuase I slept on them while they were actually recording and touring and had yet to succumb to the ever present and cliched "musical differences", cunning wordplay, women and all their parts, that moment of pure nervousness and fear just before the plane's wheels touch down on the runway and you know that in the next 15 seconds you will either be a bloody smudge on the asphalt as the plane careens out of control and crashes in a fiery inferno upon landing or you'll walk off the plane safe and sound with just a slight bounce in your step and only a slight remnant of the unadulterated existential terror that held you in its grip only moments ago remaining in your eyes. I love that moment...

I'd like to meet:

I like people with open minds who can think around corners. People with varied senses of humor that can laugh at almost anything, including themselves. People who take themselves too seriously are a waste of time.

I also like to trade live music. You can check out my list here: http://db.etree.org/holyfool
