Steves mom and thems,
whatup?
I am here to glean info as needed. I like to read. I have been cursed as a thinker and a cynic but I am graduating towards skepticism and then hopefully towards some kind of enlightenment. In the classic sense of the word of course. I was born on the same day as Diderot! hmm mmm. I want to be the next voltaire only on t.v.

I used to read a ton of philosophers but now I am starting to really get into history and sociology and I am thinking about going back to school to get a phd and teach since I am currently a carpenter/general contractor and it SUCKS and I have developed carpel tunnel and bad knees (skateboarding didnt help) So I also play in a rock band. I mostly just write songs and a few guys come over and help me play them. band here www.myspace.com/radarmountain

We are regrouping. Got a new drummer ditched everybody but the bass player and going for a power trio so I can freak out on my guitar more. (See RFID @ 1:30ish for freak out example and Dune buggies at around 1:40ish)

I grew up on a farm surrounded by farms in kentucky. I think that sense of freedom combined with being an only child has led me to a life of exploration in every sense of the word.

I have a two year old child whos nick name is fuss. his middle name is louis.
I am in love with his momma holly tamale.

I think that the world is crazy in a good way. I think that religion in all its form is dying and that it is being replaced by a tyranical technological network that will eventually invade our bodies with chips and rfids in products and licenses etc. Will probably take a while but I think its inevitable. In the light of that, I think I can enjoy the majority of my life before the new world order completely closes in all semblance of reality and freedom.

Also I am a reluctant post-modernist in a negative kantian sense. I think there is no "R" reality it is dictated (more and more drastically) by the whims of capital, media and power. None of this is revolutionary stuff and I am fully aware of this. Still I think that humanity for the most part is heading on a mostly teleological/conspiratorial trajectory into the future.

I am generally happy with my life although I tend to overthink things. Getting more into history has helped me to even out my "place" in the timeline of things and give me ironically a sense of hope for the future.

ok well pleased to meet everyone, I am going to go peruse the search function
