About me

Location Albany, New York, United States
Introduction Who am I? Wow, tough question. I am a hybrid, a blend of "genres". I am a son, a friend, a father, a lover of some art cinema (Rohmer, Rivette, Hawks, Hitchcock...), a devotee of some things Joss Whedon including Buffy and Firefly), a lover of some television (Forbrydelsen, Broen, Lewis, Morse,The Good Life...), an intellectual (or so I would like to think), a culture critic, an author, a romantic smacked in the face by reality, a cynic, a misanthrope, a lover of social theory and cultural theory, a researcher, a continuing student, a lover of knowledge for knowledge's sake, a teacher, someone bored by the banality of life, a lover of music (classical, Beethoven, Mahler, Ravel, Shostakovich, Rush, Midnight Oil, Richard Thompson, Crowded House...), a lover of books, a collector of DVD's, and a secularist among other things. I am, like we all are, to some extent, a work in progress. I see my blog as a kind of electronic journal so it is, like me, a hybrid. I apologise for its infelicities and whatever inaccuracies exist in it.
