I would like to nominate myself for a few things, hooah.
Politics: activism - started out by going to protests for the last few years, worked on different social forums and this year worked on a campaign for a rebel politician, and he won. Now I'm working with him and others to fight apathy and improve democracy. I'm also experimenting with the internet and how it can foster community interaction. My core influences in politics are peace and social justice issues.
Music: guitar, street style - made side cash as a busker for a while, now I play on a weekly basis in different public outlets with my accoustic + vocals. Occasionlly I'll haul out my amps and blow minds with my electric skills. Rock and roll!
I'm a year away from being certified to teach piano (it's been that way since I quit many years ago) but I'm sticking to my guitar guns these days. Music is the love of my life and my main career aspiration. :]
Video games: culture of - I've worked in the gaming industry for more than 6 years and going. I wrote articles, reviews, previews and did plenty interviews for GameSpy when I still worked for 'em. But what I'm fascinated with is how games get created and the communities that form and grow with the game. I've worked on a whole bunch of gaming related websites and helped out with different community endevours. Still do! I'm also interested in the future of video gaming and how the interactive arts will impact society. I still stay in touch with quite a few industry folks and am starting to become interested in writing about gaming again...
Construction: custom concrete - Worked as a cement shop supervisor long enough to pick up the trade of drafting, molding, pouring and finishing custom concrete architectural pieces (fireplaces, counter tops, tables, pillars, etc). I did some independant work with concrete to pay bills after I left the shop. Anyone who knows about this stuff knows it looks amazing and is crazy expensive (~ $150 a square foot). I'm happy to consult about this shit to TWers for free.
Drugs: marijuana - smoking it daily has been part of my routine for years. I dabbled in growing & dealing so I know about the economics. Most of my friends smoke and just about everyone I meet smokes. It's a very friendly culture!
The plant intertwines with my politics and music incredibly well. Getting involved in marijuana activism helped pave the way for my current political endevours. It also helped pave the way for other healing plants and psychadelics. My view of reality has shifted to a more naturalist one.
I gurantee that if you have a question about chronic, I will have the answer.
I love philosophy, but I'm no expert. I love history, but I stopped studying it and dropped out to start making it! :]
