Despite being very well rounded, I am usually obtuse and I'm usually rather pointed despite not being too sharp. I have many graduate degrees, but that's because I don't have much better to do with my time. Besides writing subversive novels, my hobbies include; esoteric gnostic religions, tribal & abstract art, ethical philosophy, particle physics, environmental extremism, 20th century literature, vegetarianism, international politics, '80s dreampop, playing bass guitar, throwing pottery, and several more things that absolutely no one cares about.

The Kabbalistic value of my name is 284.

I've very very bored and am happy talk with anyone.

Maybe there just aren't all that many of them out there, but I don't know any creative people. I mean, people who actualy create art in some way. I look online and I see lots of web sites with little cartoons or whatever and really those are the sorts of people that I want to spend time with. Everyone I know seems to be far more concerned with 'real life' than I am. They spend their time worrying about laundry and paying bills and going out for drinks and bowling or whatever. They just don't seem to have any passion to create anything, or if they do, they are are so overburdened by 'real life' that they have no inclination to make anything beautiful. That makes me a bit sad because they'd be more happy and more interesting if they could get up their motvation, and it would make me happy because really want to feed off someone's infectious energy. I'm tired of doing it all alone.
