A wirey minimalist with a bit of material excess
was raised in flat cloudy chunk of industrial suburbia. 13 years spent in school system for a hand shake & a piece of paper, Then , began my drifting travels. Urban exploration intrigues me, architecture's one of my specialities, sometimes I'm kicking it on organic farms, or meditating atop a landfill.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movie; Soylent Green, Animatrix, Star Trek, Fight Club
Music; not a defined fan of music, like lot of stuff from fancy classical to Addictive Trashy Music. Do I needed a catagory of music define my personality? That'd be elevator music, it compliments the atmosphere rather than being the focal point.
Book; Brave New World, The Arts of the Sailor, Toolbox for Sustainable City Living, A Pattern Language
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
There was a volunteer job, working at a methane digester. The fuel this metal stomach ate was chicken poo. My job was to scrap s--tuff into a bucket, daily, to feed the bio-machine. There I learned the difference between septic and sterile smells.
(as a side note, I do shower regularly)

To the human population,
How to sustain this planet,
1. Discover the difference between 'gross' and 'toxic'
2. Meditate about the reason for fake window shutters
3. Eat off the lower end of your local food chain (entomophagy mmmmmmmmm)
4. Recycle manure & motor oil
5. And build Teletubby Utopia over todays suburban sprawl.
The end never happend and we all lived monotonously ever after*
