About me:
Music criticism: FakeJazz.

Comedy duo: Wrestling Team.

Comic: Unicorn Mtn. Vol. 2. See a sample page here.

54 Hour Movie Project: here.

Ecriture: A Journal of Experimental and Challenging Literature: here.

harm: here.

The Noumenal Moon (my philosophy blog): here.

Ah, my name is Andy. I was a philosophy PhD student at Temple until I met Chuck Dyke and learned that (most) philosophy is a huge scam. Now I want to study Bourdieu and complexity theory. However, at the moment, I am freelance writing and concentrating on Wrestling Team, my comedy duo. In the spring, I will teach environmental philosophy and critical thinking (and maybe women in philosophy)at various colleges/universities in Philadelphia. I think it's going to be fun.

At the moment, I have a number of projects I am embroiled in. A number of them are Wrestling Team related, such as editing the third episode. A week or two ago, I finished recording an album as qctqpus entitled The Solar Agent; I made a page for it here. Now I have to do all the boring stuff like EQing, etc.

I'm trying to read a lot and watch lots of films. I am trying to learn how to skateboard and how to play clarinet. I'm trying to learn French but I am being lazy about it.

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone that would like to play scrabble or basketball. People who would like to make art like films or other things, but mostly films. People into interesting art. Someone who can help me find an interesting job.

Anyone that might stumble across this profile that wants to write a review for Ecriture...I am compiling issue two now. What? Myspace is for kids 5-10 years younger than myself to hook up with each other? And not for some douchebag who wants to find people to write for some shitty zine he does? Fair enough.

I had a dream about you last night... you were a single dad with a baby girl, and you had just bought a farm with a goat and a pony. I came over for lunch and you served homemade soup and freshly-baked bread. It was nice.

Friends don't let friends vote Republican.

Things you believe in to be a Republican today: Sadamm was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to the spirit of international harmony. A woman can't be trusted with making decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulations. Jesus loves you and shares your hatred for homosexuals and Hillary Clinton. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veteran's benefits and combat pay. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex. Providing healthcare to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing healthcare to all Americans is socialism. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which Iraqi citizens die is solid defense policy. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's cocaine conviction is none of our business. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative talk show host. Then it's an illness, and you need our prayers for your recovery.

Discuss and make videos.
