Mandar 3000

What is it called when the Robots dance? Futuristic? Yeah, futuristic.

About Me

I remember optimism. We were taught inclusion. We were taught diversity. We were taught empathy. The hopes and goals of a thousand generations were placed squarely on our shoulders. We were supposed to change the world for the better.We still have time. Let's get to work.p.s. what happened to quality children's programming?

My Interests

pabst blue ribbon. not being impaled. fried stuff with cheese on it.

I'd like to meet:

suffragettes, freedom fighters, prom queens, ceos of large corporations, artists looking for a muse, pack animals, magi, . . .and these ladies:

Music:

i love music and bringing it to the kids so much, i got together with some friends and set up a non-profit. it's called WhAAM and it stands for Whatcom All-ages Arts and Music. and it rules. i love being with my friends, putting on shows with great bands, rockin out and having kids eat that shit up with a spoon. it's the least i can do to give back into the greater cosmic karma in which i grew up having rock shows foisted on me every freakin weekend in what seemed like an unlimited supply. thank you to all the older kids that made such things possible to me, as an impressionable youth. don't worry world, i'm doing my share. here's to the kids! As for music I listen to in my free time: karp, the misfits, stevie wonder, the sonics, new york dolls, grandmaster flash, thrones, dinah washington, black sabbath, gnarls barkley, blondie, lands farther east, devo, johnny cash, doomsday 1999, dragonforce, etc, etc, etc.

Movies:

Billy Jack. The Omen. Clash of the Titans. constantine. zapped. they live. ruben and ed. the warriors. blackula. dark crystal. fast times at ridgemont high. the last unicorn. lord O the rings trilogy. caddyshack. cannonball run 2. the cube. river's edge. ALL HORROR MOVIES. ALL ZOMBIE MOVIES. anything with phylis diller, rodney dangerfield, or don rickles in it. and of course, Mr. Vampire

Television:

DEADWOOD. Battlestar Galactica, the colbert report, jeopardy, the Office, LOST, the daily show, Heroes, ARRESTED FREAKIN DEVELOPMENT, grey's annatomy, american idol, walker texas ranger, simpsons, THREE'S COMPANY, family guy, sealab 2021, GOLDEN GIRLS, wife swap, mr.show, conan o'brien, supernanny, family ties, spaceghost, law and order SVU, america's next top model, kids in the hall, AMAZING RACE, SNL, and anything ever created by Jim Henson.

Books:

put it in front of me and i'll read it. too many books. . .too little time. i have to be reading at least two books at a time, more often four. continual circulation. finish one every week. the more i'm reading at a time, the longer each one takes. i don't count magazines, although my parents got me a subscription to National Geographic for Christmas. This is very exciting as I am a HUGE science nerd and very proud of it. currently: Middlesex, Gulliver's Travels, Bad Monkeys, and Catch 22 (which i kinda hate already).

Heroes:

MARGARET SANGER, tony freakin danza, my dad, jim henson, don knotts, shelly winters, frances farmer, jean 'd arc, matt mcintyre, debbie harry, ciscoe morris, and philip scott mayben.The japanese geniuses who came up with this video: .. .. ..

For those of you who don't know, Hobbits eat seven times a day: breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, tea, dinner, and supper. For some reason, "second breakfast" seems like the most wonde...

This is why I have an Anthropology degree.

Before there was Bill Nye or Beakman's World, there was 3-2-1 Contact and Mr. Wizard. These two shows not only exposed me to the beauty and majesty of the natural world, but also taught me how to tame...

Clean Sweep

The winds have been blowing for a while now. At first they frightened me with their fury and violence. I have since been comforted by their power to decide what stays and what must go. They pick up ev...
