I'm an atypical kind of guy. I'm such a non-conformist that the
word "non-conformist" is too limiting to describe me. I'm a loner
and a rebel, and you probably don't want to get messed up with the
likes of me.
Intellectual pursuits are very important to me. I have a BA in
philosophy and comparative religious studies. In particular, I like
metaphysics
and
philosophy of the mind
and
mythology,
but I also like math, physics, and anthropology. I usually have at
least some interest in just about everything.
I try to learn as much as I can from other religions though I will
not agree with everything they teach.
I am an optimistic skeptic, a cynical idealist and a shy
extrovert.
I like comedy, but I prefer satire over slapstick.
I think studying other languages is really interesting, but I'm not
very good at it.
I have a car which I use to impress the ladies.
Politically, I'm moderate, but not the kind of moderate who's just
indecisive. People who are conservative tend to think that I'm
liberal, and people who are liberal tend to think that I'm
conservative. I think flag burning is a legitimate (though silly)
form of protest, and guys should have to wear shirts in most public
places. I am a strong believer in evolution, but I don't have any
problem with creationism or other alternatives being taught in
school. I think it's important to take care of the environment
because it's God's creation.
My favourite wrapper is cellophane, but aluminum foil and wax paper
can be very handy. I don't know why people are so interested in
knowing about favourite wrappers.
My hobbies are reading, writing and arithmetic. I play some video
games too. I also like drawing, painting, gardening and cooking but
I haven't been doing much of them lately.
I'm working in a job that isn't what I'd really like to be doing,
but at least it's challenging, I somewhat enjoy it, and it is
somewhat worthwhile.
I keep on learning.
joking with a straight face, being sarcastic and teasing.
getting quiet people to open up.
intellectually stimulating, witty and meaningful
conversation.
making obscure movie and TV references.
I'm also pretty good at tutoring. I find it rewarding to help
someone understand something that they didn't before.
I'm good at leaving witty comments on people's
youtube videos.
A girl at work said that I look like the type of person who'd like
Christian Rock (which I don't) because I have an innocent and
Christian look about me. Little does she know that I'm a rebel and
a counter-cultural revolutionary.
Books: I read mostly non-fiction because I like to learn new
things. For fiction, I usually read fantasy but I also like to read
Shakespeare or some other classic now and then.
Movies: Science Fiction, Comedy, and Action are my favourites, but
I'll watch pretty much anything unless it's gratuitously violent or
gruesome. I don't usually own copies of movies because I usually
try to see something I haven't seen already.
TV: Lately I've been watching
The Daily Show,
The Colbert Report,
Supernatural,
Mythbusters,
Medium,
The Office,
Parks and
Recreation and anything on
Turner Classic
Movies.
Music: 80's rock, some classic and more recent pop. Classical music
- especially live.
I've been trying to develop an appreciation for ballet recently.
just about everything. Trying to create order out of my random
thoughts.
Usually working, but otherwise going to a movie, play or concert,
doing something else with friends, or watching TV.
I often prefer the company of women - just not the crazy ones.
- you want to talk to someone who uses proper grammar and does not
use net speak.
- you want to have a conversation without being called "hot" or a
"babe".
