Copied from FACEBOOK: Activities: I am consistently preoccupied writing, recording, or producing music, exercising, reading, cooking, and not much television, when I'm at home. Other than that I like to get out and see a good band, attend a charity, go to a bookstore, ride my bike and or hang out with my true genius of a son. I fit time with friends in between there on band nights. UPDATE: Recently I have joined the Riverview Neighborhood Association board and made some really great acquaintances in doing so. I love being engaged with people who are motivated to change and improve where we live for everyone who can benefit from it, whether the metamorphosis is aesthetic in nature or setting an agenda. This new endeavor is sure to provoke some late late nights throughout the year (2009). Interests: Music, Science, Architecture, Engineering, Mythology, the human perspective. Favorite Music: Without a doubt, Jeff Buckley, may he rest in peace. But I like every kind of music as long as it's not too cliche' or ordinary. Most recent superb records are: JFJO - Lil' Tae Rides Again; Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago; Tv On The Radio - Dear Science; Pontiac - Kale; and the mix tape of Misfits songs Matty gave me. "I want your skull!" Favorite TV Shows: Not a dedicated TV watcher. But I do watch college football, CNN or C-SPAN, OETA, channel 24 for local business stuff, channel 19 for music arts showcase, History Channel sometimes, etc. Favorite Movies: Red box. Blockbuster. I usually only go to the movies for the type of movie that should be seen at the movies. All of the Lord of the Rings, for example. Favorite Books: Jared Diamond is a great author. As well as Joseph Campbell, Willa Cather, Homer, Mark Twain, Dr. James Dobson, Adam Davies, Charles Darwin, and Stephen Hawking. Favorite Quotations: "Art...should simplify. That, indeed, is very nearly the whole of the higher artistic process; finding what conventions of form and what detail one can do without and yet preserve the spirit of the whole." Willa Cather, "On the Art of Fiction", 1920.
