About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To figure that out before I die :-)

ABOUT ME

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

H.D. Thoreau

PHILOSOPHY

Don't have one yet that you haven't heard.

Music, Movies, and Books

I tend toward eclectic tastes that change with the wind...

At the moment, I'm really enjoying the work of Haruki Murakami. I like his rather matter-of-fact surrealism. Where hyperreality is just as viable as the mundane.

Really liking the horror genre right now. I enjoy being challenged regarding what is acceptable to film. It should be thought provoking, however. And yes, thought-provoking horror films do exist. The French film "Martyrs" comes to mind.

Music: anything from Vivaldi to Adele.
