I am an artist living and working in Emporia, Kansas. I do a lot of different things, including making music and thinking about politics and… other stuff. There is a link on the sidebar for finding my artwork. I was an only child, so I’ve gotten very adept with talking to myself. This blog is an extension of that.

I have been in a relationship with a lovely girl since New Year’s Day, 2004. We live together with no plans to marry. There are no kids, though anyone who knows me personally will tell you without question that I’m still very much a child unto myself. Speaking of…

I am a lifelong Star Wars fan – literally from age four in 1977.

Most of the music I love comes from the post-punk era of the early eighties (again, my childhood).

I prefer fantasy and children’s movies predominantly, though sci-fi rarely gets turned away.

I regard myself largely as an existentialist philosophically, a moderate politically (liberal socially, conservative fiscally), and an agnostic religiously – if you discount Jedi as a religion.

I study astrophysics as a intellectual hobby, as well as other branches of theoretical physics.

I don’t play a lot of videogames, but I’ve been a Dr. Mario addict for a long time now.

My preferred television runs mostly along the science and political end of things. Doctor Who, Fringe and Mad Men being important exceptions.

Hopefully this suffices. It’s hard to imagine anyone reading this who doesn’t already know me very well, but if I think of anything else, I’ll put it here. Thanks for reading and feel free to comment on what you find.
