About Me |

Create your own custom MySpace Layouts Myspace Layouts at MySpaceSupport.com / MySpace Backgrounds I've managed a couple of bands in Macedonia, and have a deep interest in ethnic music, modern classical and avant-garde, progressive rock, garage rock, nu-jazz, trip-hop, break-beat, 60s and 70s music, punk, goth, apocalyptic folk, post-punk, math rock, cocktail and lounge music. Because of my interests, I'm forming another record label (I had two in the past) called CLCX . Speaking of Macedonia, I used to live in Skopje, in the Aerodrom district (if you know where Vero is on Bulevar Jane Sandanski, then you know where I was at). I look forward to the day I can return there. I love film, and you can see a few people who inspire me in the FILMS section here. I have to admit a weakness for tacky Euro flicks, Italian horror, Russian and Swedish drama, Mel Brooks and Groucho Marx films, documentaries and art-house faire. I practice Eastern Orthodox Christianity after converting about 15 years ago, and it was perhaps the best move of my life, both theologically and philosophically. I am especially interested the works of Seraphim Rose, Gregory Palamas and Saint John Chrysostom, Orthodoxy's greatest thinkers in my opinion. I have a fondness for Timothy Kallistos Ware and Fr. Thomas Hopko, British and American Orthodox theologians who are currently active. However, I still have a love for Catholic and Protestant thinkers, especially Karl Barth, Balthasar Gracian (the man whose work would influence Artur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche), Saint Thomas Aquinas, John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Josemaria Escriva (founder of Opus Dei, who are not a cult), Saint Isadore (the patron saint of education and the Internet), Soren Kierkegaard, Immanuel Kant, atheists like Oriana Fallaci and Christopher Hitchens, and a Marxist defender of Christianity, Slavoj Zizek, a Slovenian guy who actually makes reading Philosophy a lot of fun! Politically, I am very conservative (and no, that does not mean Republican, just conservative). This may come as a shock to some of you who have been added and you perhaps perform experimental or some sort of music that one doesn't normally associate as being interesting to the right side of the spectrum. Don't assume that. Some of your biggest fans may well be either conservative, Republican or of that stripe. I am proud to say that I have a direct descendancy from scientist (and safecracker!) Carl von Linne (Carolus Linnaeas, the man who gave Latin names to plants). How's that for a fun fact?! Funny, because I have almost no interest in science... I also enjoy just talking about mundane things in one's life (How are you doing? How's the weather?, that kind of stuff), and I'm a firm believer that everyone has an interesting story to tell, so I'll probably be delighted listen to yours. I blog here , so please feel free to come by and drop a note. |

My Interests |

| Music, film, literature, theology, philosophy, travel, grappling sports, teaching and learning. | |
I'd like to meet:Dead people, philosophes, kind-hearted souls, those who actually have the ability to hold a conversation, charming people I can take to either family functions or somewhere nice. Especially interesting are fellow travelers, people who get a kick out of life, non-miserable sorts and people who possess some sort of beauty to them (Why? Because ugly is everywhere). |
