CURRENT MISSION

On hiatus from formal education...remembering how to live

ABOUT ME

I'm a young man on the never ending quest for something new. I've been in school for a few years now but have gone on what I hope will be a lengthy and fulfulling hiatus. Music is a huge part of my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Trying to list my favorite music, movies and books falls under cruel and unusual punishment for me.

Favorite and influential bands that come to mind are Fugazi, Blackbird Raum, Eric's Trip, Dog Day, Husker Du, I could go on...

I'm an avid sci-fi fan, but any genre of film will do. A few favorites are Fantastic Mr. Fox, Hobo with a Shotgun, Taxi Driver, Akira, The Crow....

I'm a huge fan or Orwell, Bukouski, and Miller.
I go through dry spells of not reading much followed by periods where I can't be pried away from whatever I'm reading. I pick up zines whenever te opprotunity arises.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I inserted a seed into the ground and watched over many weeks as it grew into a 20 pound head of cauliflower.

I've made more money per hour doing something that comes as naturally to me as breathing than at any other job I've yet to hold.

I've made life long bonds with people through music, without saying a word to eachother

Teach, Learn, Share

I've played drums in a few punk bands over the years. I play washboard and busk whenever the opprotunity arises.

I organized Cinema Politica Truro, which I have learned tons from.

I've grown food in my school's community garden.

I hope that whoever I meet can teach me anything about anything. Sharing knowledge makes life worth living.
