About me: I'm originally from the Midwest: Born in Green Bay, grew up in Sheboygan, college at UW Milwaukee, hard knocks in Chicago. I grew up with California Dreams as my buddy DeVille used to say, so now I'm on the West Coast doing this acting thing. I love to talk about film, music, art, philosophy, politics, religion, economics, cultural anthropology and the future trajectory of society, and I love dark funky house music. I believe I was born in the wrong time period. I believe that the soul is immortal and we are on a continual journey. I believe that humankind is one family, and that all religions are from the same source of Eternal inspiration. I believe human beings are flawed. I know I am flawed. I revel my melancholy, and savour the sweetness of joy, for I know it is only temporary. I try to be a good person...
Who I'd like to meet: People who move me. Peter Jackson just to have a pint. Jet Li to experience his presence. George Lucas, what happened George? Alan Greenspan, to see how much he really knows. Barak Obama, to see if he's sincere. Afrika Bambaataa, to hear about the origins. Sarah James & Torbjorn Lahti, to learn more about sustainable living. DJ Shadow and Qbert, because whydafucnot? Henry George, to see what he thinks of the world today. Shakespeare and Marlowe, just to have a pint....
Well...i was going throw my friends list and i saw you and thought to myself,"i haven't said hi in FOREVER!!"...with that being said...hi! how are you?
It was great meeting you at the Peace Gathering, Dash. I will send you a CD for your radio show sometime this month. Let me know where to sent it. You have a calm presence. I'd love to hang sometime soon!

I even wrote down that your birthday was the 4th, so of course, here I am on the 8th, finally wishing you a happy birthday... Hope you had a wonderful day!
God does some strange things sometimes. I hope that your eureka movement was true revelation and that you will be able to find someplace to really use your talents to change the world. Whatever happens to that young man who talked about the peacecore?
