| Introduction | Self-effacingly I am a seeker that resides in the smallest city in New Hampshire, a city so small it acts like a town. Living ten miles from the embryo of this hemisphere, the Atlantic Ocean, I find myself drawn to life near the water. I am a Westernized Buddhist leaning Vedantist who was raised Catholic, disobeyed its dictates and became a Freemason. Once a sailor, a medic, and now a tonsorial artist. |
| Interests | I love the idea of listing my interests! Every day brings new interests, ideas, and passions. As of today my interests are comparative religions, philosophy, esoteric studies, the array of subjects most left brained individuals would not understand. |
| Favorite movies | Pink Floyd the Wall, Hurt Locker, Apocalypse Now, Godfather, Escape From New York, the list goes on and on. |
| Favorite music | Only at the gym: Disturbed, Operator, Saliva, Breaking Benjamin, Alice In Chains, Shinedown. At home NPR, any Pink Floyd, Widespread Panic, Sonia Da Da, Steely Dan, Van Morrison, Ryan (not Brian) Adams |
| Favorite books | Way to numerous to mention, here is a few: Morals and Dogma, anything by Fred Alan Wolf, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Ken Wilber. All the titles by Christopher Moore, Tom Robbins, and William T. Vollmann. Occasionally Jack Kerouac and the “Beats”, Plato, Joseph Campbell, Herman Hesse, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Sangharakshita and especially Dostoevsky. |
