A friend once said "You, you're just different folk." I like that.

Reading. Writing. Filmmaking Hanging with friends and having fun.

School when I can afford it.

I don't remember the last time I was bored.

I'm tall.

I have exacting standards for food, art, ethics and people.

I shaved my head for the summer.

I have an opinion about almost everything.

a). My favorite novel is The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, and Faulkner is my favorite writer. A close second is Raymond Chandler, particularly Lady in the Lake. I'm also wild for Jim Thompson, Graham Greene, Flannery O'Connor, P.G. Wodehouse and John Fante. My love for speculative fiction (sci-fi and fantasy) is growing, though I've always had a soft spot for Heinlein, Dick and Moorcock. I'm always looking for new writers to experience and welcome suggestions.

I love comic books. Anything by written Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman or Alan Moore, such as The Invisibles, Sandman or Promethea is GOLD. Daniel Clowes panders to hipster subculture a bit too much, but I still enjoy him, and Fun Home by Alison Bechdel was great.

As far as nonfiction goes, I love philosophy, linguistics, anthropology, neurology and economics. Soren Kierkegaard, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Ferdinand Saussure, Antonio Damasio and Claude Levi-Strauss are my intellectual role models.
b). A Clockwork Orange
Taxi Driver
Double Indemnity
The Maltese Falcon
2001: A Space Odyssey
Raging Bull
North By Northwest
Citizen Kane
La Dolce Vita
Grave of the Fireflies

Some of my favorite recent films: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Children of Men, V For Vendetta
c). The Clash
Swans
Pogues
Pixies
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Antonin Dvorak
Gustav Mahler
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Johnny Cash
Dwight Yoakam
Laura Cantrell
Brother Ali
Atmosphere
d). Lord, it's more a question of what I don't like. I like Thai, Indian and Italian food the most. I hate macaroni and cheese for some reason.

My family
My friends, the family I chose
Art
Good food
Gnosis
A sixth thing.

I like to think about more esoteric things, like if suicide is immoral, would it still be immoral if you were bitten by a zombie and wanted to spare your loved ones the danger of your inevitable transformation to walking, biting, ambulatory meat and teeth? These are the thoughts that keep me awake at night.

They are also the thoughts that kept me out of the really good schools. (Yes, I just ripped off George Carlin, but I don't think he minds.)

I'm a Gnostic Esoteric in my religious praxis. This means I'm all about the experience and have no use for dogma (chaos magick is a pretty good way to iron the dogmatic kinks out of your brain). Politically, I'm an empiricist, an individualist, and a I usually fall on the liberal side of the aisle.

Usually at the cinema, or curled up with a good book and some good coffee or wine.

I shot a man in Reno once. He didn't die, though I was never invited to a briss again.

You share in the geekitude.

(I janked the term "geekitude" from my friend Danielle, hah!)

Basically, if you've got wit, verve, and something on your mind, give me a holler.
