Music, Movies, and Books

I'm still trying to finish Guns, Germs, and Steel. Philip K. Dick, Vonnegut, Hunter Thompson, Bukowski, John Fante, Howard Zinn, Daniel Pinchbeck, Iggy Scam, Cometbus, etc. I'm getting into African music right now. I have thousands of records from Cuban dance music to dancehall/dub, hardcore punk to electronic, old school hip hop, folk, country, and jazz. If you stay at my house, you'll be sleeping in the record room.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped off a cliff in the Andes and stayed airborne with a parachute for about 12 minutes or so. Visiting this Green Tea Plantation in South Korea was pretty amazing too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYjLUhjRT4A
I´m a former politician and DJ, i rode my bike up and down the Hudson valley, i was shot in the leg once in Miami, and my house was raided by the feds over a pirate radio station. The FBI once took me to a baseball game. I'll tell you the rest in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like riding bikes and if you come over, I have an extra one you can use and I can take you on a bike tour of Tampa. This is exciting and deangerous as I live in the deadliset place in America to ride a bike. I like to kayak and canoe too. I can teach you the history of this area and/or how to play chess.
