About Me
- Name: Jason
- Location: St. Louis, Missouri, United States
My journeyman life of wealth and fame began in the Hoosier State (we’re proud of it, folks), and my codes have read IN, MO, PA, A-Wien. Currently, I’m installing cybernetic implants to improve my vision, hearing, and memory. That’s of course when I’m not shapeshifting and taking the form of a grizzled brown bear in the timber forests of Southwest City. All of this is made possible by my very useful and lucrative M.A. in Comparative Religion (I highly recommend graduate school to everyone). But that’s enough about me…who the heck are you?

I’ve been looking for direction in life too long. Here, there, here, there, especially with reading. So I’ve turned to editor/theorist/critic David Pringle as a guide. In the mid-80s, Pringle released a series of essays in book form called “Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels: An English-Language Selection, 1949-1984.” Following Pringle’s book, which starts with “1984” and ends with “Neuromancer,” I’m reading every title in chronological order.
Current Five I'm Working On
- Brian Aldiss : Hothouse (1962)
- J.G. Ballard : The Drowned World (1962)
- Anthony Burgess : A Clockwork Orange (1962)
- Philip K. Dick : The Man in the High Castle (1962)
- Robert Sheckley : Journey Beyond Tomorrow (1963)

The bicycle is the perfect form of transportation. It’s clean, easy, and fun. It’s also the most efficient form of transportation. I believe in efficiency. One day, there will be bicycle boulevards in St. Louis. I hope I live to see that day. Until then, I will settle for the meager trails and bike lanes the city currently has to offer.

I believe in St. Louis. It has the infrastructure in place to once again be a major city in the United States. It already has wonderful people, delicious restaurants, and my wife...so I suppose I won’t be leaving anytime soon.

That would be Pujols if he weren't on steroids...
What about Ryan Howard, Rico? I'll let my slugger get tested if you'll do the same with yours.
I'm also pretty sure that my hometown hero Ron Reed was on the juice. What do you think?
All I know is that Reed saved Game Two of the 1980 World Series for Philadelphia against Kansas City. And he did it fueled only by meat and potatoes, like any good Indiana boy.
