| Introduction | Part elephant, part wolf, part raccoon, part donkey. |
| Interests | Space and time, revealing love and mercy instead of power and control in our society. Acting as a prop for mankind without prevailing. Being old and liking it.

Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Taoism, Jazz, Sufi Poetry, Cooking seasonally and locally, sustainability, green architecture, composting, gardening, bluegrass, the ethics of carnivorism vs. vegetarianism, poetry, beauty, photography, painting, sculpture, art in general, drama, reading, writing, quantum theory and physics generally, the history of science, technoscience, metaphor as a central way of understanding consciousness, knowing birdcalls, identifying plants, flowers, and animals, unlocking nature as something other than a construct, preserving wilderness, understanding human nature, drumming, assembling bicycles to ride. |
| Favorite Movies | Terrence Malick (The New World, The Thin Red Line), Woody Allen (esp, Annie Hall, Hannah and her Sisters, Manhattan Murder Mystery, Match Point), Coen Brothers (O Brother, Fargo, Lebowski, No Country rocks my ass), Jeunet (Amelie, Very Long Engagement), Hitchcock, Almodovar (All About My Mother, Volver, Talk to Her), Midnight Cowboy, The Fall, the polish director who did the Red, White and Blue series, The Host, and cheesy horror flicks like the first Friday the 13th or Attach of the Killer Tomatoes. |
| Favorite Music | Endless. KRS-One to Hank Williams to Monk and Mingus to the Baka Forest People making drums out of water to Beethoven and Mozart to Fela Kuti and other afrobeat to Modest Mouse to Coltrane and Miles and Johnny Cash and Funkadelic and Hendrix. I love old, randy lady blues singers like Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and their outcroppings in Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, and more recently, Amy Winehouse. I like bluegrass and blues and don't see much of a difference between the two stylistically and in terms of basis for rhythm, tone, and expression. I contain multitudes of sounds. |
| Favorite Books | Start with the Bible, add in Shakespeare, Don Quixote, oh man this would take a long time. Virignia Woolf and William Faulkner. Melville. Frost. Walt Whitman (duh). Emily Dickinson. Twain. Pynchon. Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Snyder. Salinger. Langston Hughes, Sterling Brown, Jean Toomer. I dunno--ask me, I'm probably into it. Flannery O'Connor, Nabokov, Ken Kesey... |
