I have to admit, I never really enjoyed typing up introductions about myself, nor was I ever exceptionally good at it. But here we are, and here it is, so there you go. Cheers 1.
Keeper of Hermetic Philosophy and the Hitchhiker BluesAs well as the...Incredibly Hoopy Side-burned and Bowler-hatted Pirate Cannoneer on board the "The Blood of the Zaphodistas"1 + 5 + 37 + 4 - 5 = 42Bouree Why is Suz so great? Is it her smashing good looks, her refreshingly hilarious humor, her caring spirit, or her witty intellect? Visit Suz, and go find out what it is about her that makes you love her to death. YP and the Hoopy Hoopsters . Are you one hip, swinging, cat? One hell of a hoopy frood? A jazz lover by any chance? Then go visit The Jazz Cellar, where you'll find that great jazz band, YP and the Hoopy Hoopsters playing the best jazz 'till the crack of dawn. The band consists of Pierce the Pirate who plays the bouzouki, Solnushka who plays the bass, The Mystical Fish who plays the piano, clarinet, and guitar, Bumblebee who plays the woolen sock filled saxophone, One-eye who can 'sing,' ox who can sing so long as the lighting allows only her sillouhette to be seen, and Me on drums. And with a name like YP and the Hoopy Hoopsters, it's got to be good, right? Right. So come to The Jazz Cellar. You won't regret a moment of it. Trust me. Music
I'm a MuG, a member of the h2g2 Musicians Guild.
If you're a musician of any kind, feel free to stop by at the Guild page. It's quite a froody place.Drums and Beatnik Poetry I'm a jazz, funk, and blues drummer, and I currently play with two jazz quartets, the school jazz band, a blues band, three funk bands, and a couple completely insane Latin (Brazilian, really) bands. I also play timpani with the Concert Band and Orchestra which is great because timpani are by far the most superior percussive instruments around... Although, the more I think about it, I can't help but remember Blue Man Group's drumbone. Now that thing rocks.... Bass
In an attempt to become more musical I took up the bass for about half a year or so. My instructor (I've known him my entire life, oddly enough) pushed me quite hard and I think it payed off. I'm not sounding that bad. Not bad at all...
The Noise Made by People My all-time favorite composer is Bach (I've got a bit of a Baroque fetish), but I really dig the stuff Wendy Carlos has synthesized over the years as well. The most musical band I've ever heard is the Beatles, so they're up there on the list of my favorite bands. Also on that list: Led Zeppelin, the Jimi Hendrix Experience (Mitch Mitchell is the man), and Cream...I'm into that bluesy-rock sound. Fun Northeastern Woodlands I have been known to live an unusually odd lifestyle involving the mass consumption of sugar, staying awake for days on end and then painting my hallucinations on large canvases, and other various recreational activities, bicycle polo being one. The strangest part about it, though, is that it never got weird enough. When I do incredibly weird things, it may be amusing, but in my mind it's just normal, leaving me to search for weirder things that I have yet to find. Pity. Outlook for the Quonth I sometimes contribute to The Post and so do a lot of other great and hoopy people such as Ormondroyd, whose amazing pic (drawn by none other than the famed Amy the Ant) is the one I shamelessly swiped and placed to the left of this passage. Read their stuff and admire their illustrations. I'm sure you wouldn't help doing so anyway... *twiddling thumbs* If you need me I'll be boozing away at the Table. Speaking of which... Drinks If I'm not listening and dancing to music played at an unreasonably loud volume in the privacy of my home, at school, a party, in a recording studio, or on a stage, then you will most definately find me at The Ferret and Forelegs (don't worry, I'm just trying it on for size). I'll be the one sitting at the Maverick Table, wearing a bowler hat, quoting Umberto Eco's, Foucault's Pendulum, at the top of my lungs, and occasionally (and rather unsuccessfully) trying to spark some form of conversation with female researchers in a long and seemingly, utterly hopeless attempt to find The One. Whenever I'm there, drinks are on me, so don't be afraid to drop by, say hello, and share a drink. And if I'm not there then you can find me at The Café, enjoying a hot cup of blue java or Irish tea. Viva Zaphoda! There's nothing worse than a shameless commercial plug for some product or another so, for the most part, I like what the BBC has to say about URLs, though I can see where the language thing might annoy some people. In any event, go fight for greater freedom in the world of h2g2 by joining the Zaphodista Army of Cybernautic Liberation. Birthdays, Contacts, and such...My birthday is on January 16th. When the time comes, feel free to wish me a happy one. My h2g2 anniversary is on September 20th. When the time comes, feel free to share some celebration champagne and cake with me.
I recommended my very first entry to be included in the edited guide at exactly 4:00 P.M. Eastern US time, on Wednesday, September 19, 2001. This among other things, is an event in my h2g2 life worth celebrating, so when the time comes, please do.

Ah, yes... and the names are in absolutely no particular order, so don't feel bad or whatnot if you see yours on the lower half of the list.

Morning;
Aug 4, 2002
In rare instances my favorite part of the day such as when I wake feeling completely rested, and the rest of the house is still asleep, and I fix myself a great breakfast (cereal, a slice of crumb cake, and a glass of lemonade, or buttermilk pancakes, or waffles, or a hot cup of Lady Grey tea, and one can surely not forget the classic toasted peta bread with slices sharp white chedder cheese and spread over with my grandmother's homemade apricot jam).
Actually, I take that back...
That cereal, crumb cake, and glass of lemonade is making me feel sick...
But in any event,
Got together with a few friends and played Sunshine of your Love at this party a few days ago. Great fun. Ended the last chord in KeithMoonesque sort of way as I pushed over my bass drum and drum throne and stood up as we were holding it for as long as we could. Also, one of they guys at the party stumbled up on stage, beer mug in hand, pushed away the singer from the mic and began singing along.
And it's not that I only have a month left of vacation. It's all relative, I figure. So, really, I have a whole f*****g month left. A whole month left of parties, and getting my AP summerwork out of the way and also getting paid to hang out and have fun in the excellent company of musicians, artists, writers, and media-buffs all in their early or mid-twenties and all of which throw some the best parties I've ever been to.
Right on.
Let's talk about books, though.
Actually, let's not...
Well, briefly, don't read A Handmaid's Tale if you can avoid it (it's well-written for the book it's supposed to be, but then again, if I'd known it was the most depressing book ever and I wasn't forced to read it for school, I wouldn't have gone near it).
And do read 1984, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Name of the Rose, and Shogun...
Right now.
Go.
I'm sure the book store is still open.
Hell, steal the books if it isn't.
Purple-pants Girl's best friend is her boyfriend who's older, stronger, and taller than myself. But we're still friends and we flirt so I suppose things aren't too bad. Besides, I've come to thinking that even though there seems to be some sort of chemistry between us, it's proven to simply make us decent enough friends in the sense that we talk, joke, and sometimes even flirt rather openly with one another.
So, I mean, it's good and I really like her, but who knows how compatable we'd be romantically. Then again, she's still much unlike any girl I've ever met before.
And then again, again, I've her number and though she boards during the schoolyear, there's no harm in trying to work out sometime we could meet and go out somewhere. Maybe Harvard Square, or Downtown Boston...
I'll figure it out.
Damn it's been a while since I was here...
Three weeks, I'd say, since I was signed in for more than ten minutes.
And I owe the Editors six picks or more. Overdue, of course.
And I've got to arrange this board meeting for lunch this afternoon but I really could do without calling people I haven't spoken to since mid-June.
And thus,
You take the blue pill  , the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
You take the red pill  , you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes....
Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more....
