Music, Movies, and Books

Patti Smith, Fugazi, Modest Mouse,Kanye West, Michael Jackson, most hip-hop, plenty of punk and a lot of rock and roll. Am an avid reader, always on the hunt for more books, I pretty much die from laughing whenever I read David Sedaris, love political satire, classics, and anything a little left field.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

More weird than amazing, but I covered the Angola Prison Rodeo while in New Orleans for a newspaper in New Zealand, it was incredibly strange, and almost unbelievable. Unexperienced prisoners, mostly on life sentences were thrown into the arena with raging bulls who threw and tossed them around like rag-dolls all for the pleasure of the crowd...will be something I will remember forever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've an open mind and absorb information easily, so unless its super nerdy computer talk, I can converse on plenty of topics.
