I've decided not to rape your eyes with my poetry (see my poetry blog).
I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet everybody. Especially Jaid. I don't discriminate. Really getting to know you is a little more involved. Let's just say it's nothing personal. To understate it with maximum force: I can get a little hermit-ish. But I'm cavorting my way into society one thrash at a time.
Music:
I can pretty much tune myself into the enjoyment of any music given enough effort and time, though appreciating the likes of Mmm-Bop or Oops I Did it Again might require decades in a Tibetan monastery. The list of favorites is as follows: Tool, A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, Covenant. Where I may not be a big fan I love assorted songs from the following artists, with some only one: Bob Dylan, Jimmy Hendrix, Cypress Hill, Credence Clearwater Revival, The Beatles, Chevelle, White Stripes, DJ Shadow, VNV Nation, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Portishead, The Cure, Audio slave, The Pixies, The Dust Brothers, The Chemical Brothers, Aphex Twin (well, I like the novelty of it anyway). I also like classical music but Im not very knowledgeable about it, for example I like Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Orff's Carmina Burana but other than that the pieces I like must go nameless. Theres so much more but this is good enough to sketch the breadth of my taste.
Movies:
Pi, The Big Labowski, Starship Troopers, Team America: World Police, Magnolia, Requiem For a Dream (A real horror movie, which I have, and will only ever have, seen once), Shaun of the Dead, Office Space, Fight Club, Forest Gump, American Beauty, Space Balls, the original Star Wars trilogy, Blade Runner, The Name of the Rose, Being John Malcovich, Being Ron Jeremy (haven't actually seen this but it made the list for its pure, however unoriginal, virtue of weirdness), Real Genius, Tron, Star trek: The Undiscovered Country, Bowling for Columbine (Hillll-airy-ass!), Fahrenheit 9/11 (Not that I think it's anything like an attempt at impartial journalism but because it is the best good-hearted, yet belligerent, propaganda film ever made), and I can go on and on but I'll add to the list later...
Television:
Though I hardly ever watch TV these are some shows I'd watch if I happen to catch them: Quantum Leap, The Daily Show, assorted stand-up comedy on comedy central, Reno 911, Howard Stern, Star Trek: The Next Generation/Deep Space Nine, The Family guy, Futurama, Fear Factor (though I hate reality television in general in it's focus on shame and disrespect, I respect the rising to challenge in dramatic ordeal in this one), History channel/Discovery/TLC shows that have nothing to do with sports, dinosaur animations, Jesus, Hitler or UFO's (ok I'd watch a special on Hitler and UFO's or Jesus and dinosaur animations, but in general I'm tired of these topics) etc.
Books:
FVCK yeah! Mostly non-fiction. The Essential David Bohm, Thomas Khun's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Daniel C. Dennett's Brainstorms, John Stewart's America: The Book (gotta love naked Justices), Essays/articles by the above authors (well, not Stewart), Larry Lauden, Arthure Fine, Hilary Putnam, Richard Boyd, Karl Popper, C.G. Jung, Sam Keen, Joseph Campbell and others. I'm currently reading The Philosophy of Science edited by Boyd, Gasper and Trout, and Ontogeny and Phylogeny by Stephen Jay Gould.

"Standing above the crowd, he had a voice so strong and loud and I swallowed his façade cuz I'm so eager to identify with someone above the ground, someone who seemed to feel the same, someone prepared to lead the way, with someone who would die for me." - Lyrics of the song Eulogy by Tool from http://www.toolband.com/album/index.html"...a disciple is as asshole looking for another person to attach itself to." - Robert Anton Wilson (from some YouTube vid)
