Interests
General
Breathing, reading, walks on the beach to view the smoggy sunset (thus clueless to the shards of glass and cigarette butts), witnessing the rise and soon precipitous fall of the American Empire, railing against the excesses of the aforementioned empire, cultural anthropology, comparative religion, cultural globalization, apocalypse, social justice, human rights, peace, and especially a good meal and a nap.Music

Blurbs
About me:
I'm some kind of college professor type. I ask too many questions. I don't judge people based on their portfolio, car, tastes, age, degrees earned, sexuality, politics, etc., but on content of character. I do my best not to exploit people or resources. I'm writing what I call an obligatory unfinished academic novel. I'm a Cultural Anthropologist, and I do have some interest in the crazy notion of the internet as an imagined community. Ah, the internet: boundless opportunity for true democracy, boundless spam. My fieldwork and thesis were on progressive Catholics practicing Liberation Theology in Nicaragua. I am currently working on Globalization and Religion from the perspectives of Chiapas, Mexico and Managua, Nicaragua.Who I'd like to meet:
Those with a passion for social justice, or simply those with passion; iconoclasts, poet-mutineers, those who sit in the back of the class never raising their hand, yet who are full of provocative questions. Most impressive people I have met: Nobel Peace Prize winners Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, Rigoberta Menchu of Guatamala. NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ADD ME: Please send me a message. I am not here just to accumulate random "friends." NOTE TO BANDS WHO WANT TO ADD ME: No thanks.

You should give extra credit to your MySpace students for joining your crew. Even if they remove the app. or if they are deleted from your friends list, they will still be in your crew.

Quick question. In the Anthropology of religion class, you showed us a documentary on pagan women and people who practice wicca. It also went into detail of the witch hunts, etc. I was wondering if you could give me the name of that movie?
Thanks!

Hehehhe... :P
I'm just playing around. I was trying to sound like Prof. Trelawney from HP. I don't think it worked. Have a happy holiday anyway. :)
