and Edward R. motherfucking Murrow:

""We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear - one, of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of un-reason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men; Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were - for the moment - unpopular." -1954

I write. I used to read a lot, but now it's mostly via monitor, even though I like dead-tree-books, lots. I listen to lots of music.

I am an emotional, sarcastic, recovering Catholic (kicked the "habit") fascinated by faith and its forms, but skeptical about the many processed, sterilized, fetishized versions we keep getting from channel 12 Praise Hour and Mr. Mel Gibson. I don't believe Jesus was any more god than you. Or that tree. Or the sunset. Explore pantheism.

I teach. I try to approach as a facilitator -- you learn when you teach yourself, and it's my job to find the way into your brain so you can more easily Educate Yourself.

I have at least 50 black t-shirts. I'm not lying. But now they are mostly in storage while I"m in Japan

I have had a mohawk from time to time, though lately I've had a shaved head. I have 6 tattoos. My ears are filled with silver rings. I wish I could grow my hair blue.

Who I'd like to meet:
Those who are fascinated... by anything. Painters, singers, critics, sculptors, scholars, photographers, filmmakers, voracious readers, film fanatics, writers, rhetoricians, and people who like to dance, even if they're not good at it, and don't care.
