I write. I used to read a lot, but now it's mostly via monitor, even though I like dead-tree-books, lots. I listen to lots of music.

I am an emotional, sarcastic, recovering Catholic (kicked the "habit") fascinated by faith and its forms, but skeptical about the many processed, sterilized, fetishized versions we keep getting from channel 12 Praise Hour and Mr. Mel Gibson. I don't believe Jesus was any more god than you. Or that tree. Or the sunset. Explore pantheism.

I live in Japan. I teach. I try to approach as a facilitator -- you learn when you teach yourself, and it's my job to find the way into your brain so you can more easily Educate Yourself.

I have at least 50 black t-shirts. I'm not lying. I used to have a mohawk. I have 6 tattoos, and will have more very soon... before school starts. My ears are filled with silver rings. I wish I could grow my hair blue.
