[edit] Odds & Ends:

Jobs held have inculded writing film & music reviews, purchasing for a music distribution company, retail management, editing, and touring bassist for a rock/punk band. I began playing bass guitar when I was 17. I am listed as a contributor to the Senses Of Cinema film journal. Film (especially East Asian, Indian and Iranian), music, literature (especially Latin American and Russian), the history and evolution of certain literary and arts movements (surrealism, the Harlem renaissance, beat literature, magic realism, dada, pop art), the media, weather (especially tornadoes, hurricanes and winter storms in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic U.S.), African-American history and civil rights, the 1960s, social change & sociology, Asian history, Buddhism, politics, nature and anthropology are but a few of many interests.
