About johnathan

Hello. This is supposed to be my biography. So I will talk about myself and my interests now.

I love to learn. Something about absorbing new material drives me to look for more. I like to think. I like to analyze behavior. I like different. I like anomalies. I like the outdoors. I like to exercising, especially long distance runs. Something about the wind howling in my ears silences all other noises. Presently I start thinking again, and that helps me through the trail. Currently, I do not run impressively.

I enjoy movies. I write, direct, and act in them. Something about creating characters, delving deep to build their personalities, and setting them free to interact with each other keeps me writing. And I do watch them as well. However, most of the great movies have yet to watch me – I wasted a majority of my childhood in virtual realities on the computer. I recently left the gaming world altogether. I enjoy listening to music. I find anything and listen. I find it hard to hate and love bands. Sometimes my friends would recommend bands to avoid, and I have to listen to them, and take their messages apart for inspection.  Then again, I do listen for the music as well. Favorites include Bjork, Marilyn Manson, Franz Liszt, The Ramones, Journey, The Cars, Devo, Local H, Beethoven, Muse, or Jimi Hendrix. I know, I’m terribly mainstream. I’m working on that. Ever heard of Venetian Snares? Highly recommended for the adventurous. I enjoy reading. Anything. Actually, anything intellectually stimulating. Most of the Shakespeare plays remain unconquered, they will fall to my forces soon. I enjoy sketching, but I have yet to seriously begin – drawing perspective (don’t even ask about shading) frustrates me. I can play the piano reasonably well. I am interested in writing fiction and composing music.

Where does bamboozled fit? An outlet. Schools and adequate intellectual stimulation divorced from each other when policies and companies force teachers to force students to mindlessly memorize ad nauseam. Bamboozled opens my floodgates, my opinions, my ideas, and anything else. They may not interest you, the reader, very much. They very well may not even be very articulated.
