CURRENT MISSION

escaping and/or destroying consumerism

ABOUT ME

I'm living in Asheville for a few months at least, working on getting a little business off the ground and enjoying this little hippie town

I've given up on trying to narrate my past for the time being - the present and future seem interesting enough

PHILOSOPHY

"If you call this a short staff, you oppose its reality. If you do not call it a short staff, you ignore the fact. Now what do you wish to call this?"

or: it's turtles all the way down, we're all collapsing our own wave states, blah blah hand-wavey metaphysics but I try to make it sound good!

Interests

traveling, cycling, photography, buddhism, talking about politics/philosophy/science/metaphysics/the fuzzy lines and strange loops connecting it all, figuring out how to destroy the system, altered states of consciousness, trying anything once, running in the rain

Music, Movies, and Books

some movies: The Insider, Half Nelson, The Fountain, The Verdict, Primer, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Big Lebowski, Bad Lieutenant, Revolutionary Road, Squid and the Whale, Pi, Adaptation...

I liked 12 Monkeys better than La Jettee - I'm a philistine. Suggest me some good-for-a-layman art-house movies though, I'm always looking

I don't read enough lately, but some favorite books are: 1984, Smiley's People, The Demon-Haunted World, Billions and Billions, H2G2, Ain't Nobody's Business if You Do, Cloud Atlas, Gödel Escher Bach, Dry, Manufacturing Consent, Master and His Emissary

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

rock climbing for the first time in Krabi was scary and incredible
