About Me: Born in Los Angeles, lived in New Orleans for nine years, moved to Louisville, KY for 1 1/2 years because I enjoy making drastic changes, then moved back to NOLA because when all is said and done I'm a New Orleanian for life. I am the best parallel parker in the universe but prefer riding my bicycle. I'm a Buddhist atheist, that is I lack belief in any/all deities, am very skeptical regarding things supernatural but do embrace the basics of Buddhism as I see no conflicts. I obsess over the Hornets, really; the easiest way to win my favor is to talk about how the Hornets are unquestionably the best team in the NBA (even if they're not, just entertain me).

My other interests include- but are certainly not limited to- the history of Blues music particularly in the American South, songs about the Devil in Bluegrass, Blues and Gospel music in general, tattoos, New York, independent music of all genres, noise, Funk, New Orleans, debate over moot points, cheese, cultural anthropology, semiotics, drunken rants, watching the sun rise over the Mississippi river, cultural miscues, travel, trauma, the working class, bathing, soap, ancient Aztec and Egyptian culture, bacon, beer, disinformation, reptiles, puppies, baby goats and writing the great American novel.

I've been an atheist since 2005, following a long and bizarre spiritual quest (and perhaps a little help from Hurricane Katrina). Came to the conclusion it's best for me to make the most of my life in the here and now.

I'm an open book with many footnotes. If you want to know more, ask me.

At 11:02am on July 23, 2008, Vitomama said…: "Cultural Difference" doesn't even begin to describe it! Yes, family here - our kid's only surviving grandparents. They're quite aged and, frankly, I think he's the one thing that keeps them going, so it's the one thing that comes close to validating our presence here.
Our second home there is The Parkview Tavern. Certainly it has changed a bit since Katrina, but it still serves the old clientele as well.
Schools here are better, yes, but strange. The housing market seems almost entirely geared toward school location. Because it is so racially segregated here, a couple of school districts have emerged in which only the elite can afford to live. In essence, these schools have become "private" in that one must pay exorbitant housing costs in order to send their kids there. Fortunately for us, we prefer our kid to experience diversity, so he's about to start Pre-K at a school that's about 60% Mexican/35% Black.
Yes, it's rather a strange place...

That little controversy/misunderstanding has probably set this site back a lot. But the only way we're going to have a voice is if we speak together.
Oh, and if you haven't seen the new batman yet, GO!

At 6:29pm on July 18, 2008, Vitomama said…: Hey Brian! Nice to see ya! My husband and I moved to Tulsa from New Orleans 3 years ago. We're still trying to get back. It's a little tough with a 4 year old kid (the school situation). Anyway, where do you stay and what bar(s) do you frequent? I'd love to talk about home. See ya.

At 1:05pm on July 18, 2008, Valdimar said…: The internet is a lifesaver if people that think on the same wavelength are scarce locally. For me it's also very handy, because my local atheist community includes people from all different parts of society and life, so it can be hard to schedule a meet-up in meatspace :P

Agnostics are just timid atheists! So there! ;)
Well, let's say overoverly diplomatic atheists. Of course I use the term atheist for a person with 6 on Dawkin's scale from 1-7.
