Dear Iowa...

To My Dear Fellow Americans in the Great State of Iowa,

I'd like to take this moment to apologize for referring to your historic state as "fly-over country" during the last two elections. The twin gift of Obama and Huckabee endorsement is so rich as to induce cardiac arrest if I ponder it for too long. On the first, thank you for giving something akin to hope back to America, and as to the second, well I say to my dear Republican friends, 'Paybacks a bitch'.

About Me

So that's me there in that picture. Or me in anime/manga form. I'll probably change that picture from time to time. What else? Well, I call New York City home. My passions include, but are by no means limited to music, politics, capoeira, and good single malt scotch. I suppose if you need to know more than that just mosey on over to the about page more info.

A Quick Observation

Ah, death metal and ballet - two great tastes that go together. Well, if by together you use a crowbar and some sort of lube.

A Short Aside

One of my favorite pleasures is spending quiet Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the NY Times. Highlights from this Sunday include a piece about 1970's New York and it's reflection on the ABC show 'Life on Mars' , an appreciation for the TED lecture series, a profile of one of contemporary China's best selling writers, and the role of internet social networks and protests on the Arab street.

Oh and some more bullshit from Tom Friedman...

Listening

Burst Lazarus Bird

How I missed this magnificent disc last year escapes me. Out in a barren waste where Swedish death metal meets Pink Floydian textures and Tool's hypnotic repetitiveness. A stunning work of stark metal beauty.

The Love We Share Without Knowing

Christopher Barzak's fragile novel about love and loss set in contemporary Japan. Light like a wind chime, heavy enough to break your heart.
