I lived on a commune (intentional, income sharing, egalitarian community for the verbose--it's Twin Oaks)--I guess I'm currently a homeless vagabond, but it doesn't really look like it.

I'm an amoral relativist who typically remains highly ethical and an idealistic pragmatist looking to bring happiness to others. I enjoy veganism, activists, Buddhism, good food and drink, and different culture/counter-culture. I like people who criticize, care about health, and care about others.

I'm still changing.

Don't be so quick to judge; there are many answers I haven't provided here.

trying to mitigate my distaste for the mainstream while preparing to travel to far away lands and see how other people live, hopefully finding happiness on the way.

practically, I'm drifting somewhere between basking ridge and Ithaca for the moment

making bread, fixing electronics/computers/mostly anything, collecting/storing/managing information, lifting heavy things, various potentially illicit activities, being open minded.

I'm not quite sure.

A: Fight Club, A Clockwork Orange, Lolita, Food In History, Sex In History, Cradle to Cradle, Mid-Course Correction, The Omnivore's Dilemma, The China Study, non-fiction overall. I'm in the midst of reading a series of books about mind altering substances of various kinds: Pharmako/Poeia, Pharmako/Dynamis, and Pharmako/Gnosis. Utterly wonderful--I can't recommend them enough.

B: Survive Style 5+, Mind Game, Ghost in the Shell (1 and 2), American Psycho, Howl's Moving Castle, Hero, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Super Size Me, American History X, American Beauty, Closer, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Buffalo 66, Syriana, Good Night and Good Luck...you get the drift.

C: VNV Nation, Razed in Black, De/Vision, Melotron, Apoptygma Berzerk, Mind.In.A.Box, Neuroticfish, Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, mostly EBM and Synthpop stuff, but I venture out as well.

D: Basically anything that grows in the tropics (raising the question of why I don't yet live there). So things like guacamole (more or less basically my favorite food), salsa, mexican, thai, indian; stuff like that is fantastic in my book. Coconuts, pineapple, papaya, mango, avocados, cayenne peppers, quinoa--yeah, that's the good stuff. I have very high food standards and identify as a strict vegetarian (non-lacto-ovo-pesco-whatever).

I'm not really a fan of necessity arising from pointless consumption.

The nature of myself, my self, my ego, who I am, my thoughts, why I do what I do and evaluating whether I want to change it, my relationship with spirituality and what life path I'm ultimately going to take.

Lately how to treat all people well and equally, especially around anarchistic/feminist issues (consent, communication, male privilege, boundaries, etc). Trying to fully flesh out the concept of 'being responsible' and what that entails if I'm going to try and consider myself as being such.

Plants, plant allies, and poisons. The notion of self and reality in the sense of watching them being torn down. Fear and the ego, and their relationship. Judgmentalism.

social theory

where to go and what to do. How to live.

sometimes just random bullshit--it's not all heavy.

being an anarchist...which, actually, is what I generally try to do every day

everything I can think of I either want to keep private or is so totally boring it seems like a waste to put it here. I guess nothing is the answer.

you aren't afraid to meet people from the internet in real life--I'm interested in people and always looking for ones with whom I relate. Friends or people relating different things that they've done that have worked for them is generally my focus at the moment.

maybe if you have healthy, tasty vegan recipes or non-fiction books you think I'd find interesting.

If you have an interest in communities, communal living, or anti-capitalist living then we'd probably get along well.
