Hobbies and Interests:
Dedicating myself to the interlinked struggle of humyn freedom/animal rights, finding freebies, being cheap when I have to deal with corporations, but generous with independent local businesses, staying healthy on a vegan diet, obtaining vegan coupons, ride my bike, being straight edge, and cherishing love
Favorite Books:
The Palestinians In Search of a Just Peace was very inspiring during my recent visit... I enjoy anything I'm NOT reading for class. I'm attracted to non-fiction with relovutionary liberation themes. Most of the books assigned for class aren't my cup of green tea, but I am thrilled to be reading the latest Feminist Frontier edition. Fiction doesn't do it for me :(
Favorite Movies:
The Corporation, Fahrenheit 911, other documentaries first then fiction motion pictures like: Born In Flames, Billy Madison, Mad Love, Office Space, Dawn Of The Dead, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Empire Records, Do The Right Thing, White Men Can't Jump, Fight Club, & Ferris Buechler's Day Off
Favorite Music:
Anything played DIY at a space or basement. Free concerts like SirenFest, record stores like EmpireDiscs (NY) and Stinkweeds (AZ), record labels like Mr. Lady, Kill Rock Stars, and Dischord, Kim Deal, riot grrls, bands like Le Tigre, Fugazi, Refused; revolution music from any genre in any language.
Favorite TV Shows:
Does Democracy Now! count? Kill yr TV, unless you need a diversion to re-establish normalcy. If you must, try watching The Simpsons, South Park, or Family Guy. Use your VCR to check out old episodes of Beavis and Butthead, Dick Dietrich, and Get A Life. I'm not telling you what to do, but...
About Me:
Ignore what my profile makes me out to be...I am not
dogmatic nor crazy even if I have been called those
aforementioned names, I swear!!! Hell, I sometimes use baseball as a diversion. See how that squirrel took over the game once? Seriously, though, I just want to start a revolution! All the oppressed masses; those that can and cannot speak and stand up for themselves will rise up! The state will be smashed and we will live happily ever after. Food, not bombs, will be distributed throughout the World. No more cages, no more locks, the animals will be free... So will you and me, him and her, and those that refuse to fit into a gender!
Who I Want to Meet:
Someone who promotes direct action to go to demonstrations, thrift
stores, concerts, dumpster diving, and even more traditional event revolutionized in the name of freedom and fun...

Thank you for inspiring me to apply for
the Birthright trip. Now I have a
flight reserved in January! I had never
felt the sightest inkling to do this
before, but now I feel like this is the
only way I can be a true voice for the
Palestinians. And with the wall
scheduled for completion in 2005, they
need all the help they can get.

You're an awesome animal rights/human
rights/environmental activist, and I
hope you inspire many more people.
Mazel tov!

Jon's the kind of person I'd want to
process with if I had to sit through a
weeklong of intense "birthright"
propaganda in order to do solidarity
work.

To quote the infamous Orry B. "Jon's a
good egg. I like him." It's as simple
as that. Thanks for your support bro!

jon rules, because he's on myspace AND freindster.
what he doesnt realize, unfortunately, is that not all
of the long island is urban sprawl. theres is beauty
and nature, you just need to look a little harder.
(and venture out of nassau.)

rawk!

Jon is a REBEL. Jon went through his
Beavis & Butthead stage(is it over?).
But Jon is a MET AND JET FAN - He loves
the underdog and that my friend, is
sweet. Oh yeah and he eats no meat -
Plus loves my dog Mini who barks @ him
cause he has a goatee. He tolerates my
WP(o)S(e)R radio. Rock ON!
