- 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.

It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!
His refusal of such a ridiculous bribe iis one of the first moral acts I've ever seen from a politician. Clearly the man will have a…
I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
I'm telling Miss Julie! . . (Sombody wants a spanking!!).
Seems like you could be in danger of getting more than just your tongue stuck, to a dancing pole at the north pole . . .
Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
It's been almost a full day, and none of them have responded. I'm hoping that's the end of it, and they have bowed to my superior sophistry. ;-)

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...
Oh, and if you haven't seen the new batman yet, GO!
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.
I'm in north La...you?
