I do a little writing, some arting, some gaming, some fencing, and a lot of trying to juggle all the stuff I do. My interests are broad, but I'm currently working to focus on fewer hobbies and pursue them more intently. I tend to talk a lot and I'm a skinny guy with a deep voice, so it's kind of noticeable when I do. My most apparent flaw is probably arrogance, but I try to always acknowledge when I'm wrong - if I don't, I'll be wrong forever.

I'm finishing up my bachelor's in public relations. The current plan is to work for a year, and then begin grad school for history. I'm not counting out the possibility of sticking with work/career, though.

Last semester I finished my undergraduate thesis on swordplay in 17th century England, which is why I'm now looking at history degrees. I'm also interested in a lot of historical martial pursuits.

I abandoned my second major in studio art; now I'm doing art on my own. I'm really into stencils right now, and I've been making tapestries, which is a lot of fun.

I dunno. I'm pretty good at some things. I've been considering posting a couple sketches of myself in my photo section - then you could decide for yourself if I'm any good at the art stuff, I guess.

Probably my voice - it's not unusual to hear me before you can see me.

Quotes (I know, but there's no other place for them):
"I like my neuroses - they are my living sketchbook. I don't want to work them out."
-Jenny Saville

"So I submit to you that there really is no society in human history that has ever suffered because its population became too reasonable."
-Sam Harris

"I have made this [book] of bricke and stones, as Augustus laid of Rome at the first, but now Rome is built with marble: even so I wold wish that some expert and learned person or other would pull downe this rude begun worke of mine and build it up with marble, for the worke it selfe if it were workmanlike handled, deserveth to be written in leters of gold, and to remain for ever, but first it must be twice or thrice distilled as they doe their Rosasolis, for first it is Aquavitae, & then in the second and third distillation, there is bestowed greater charge and more excellent matter ariseth of it."
-Joseph Swetnam

I spend a lot of time thinking about thinking. I mean, other things too - politics, relationships, and antagonistic activities, generally in that order.

You like to talk, you like to read, and you are eager, if I spout bullshit, to call me on it .

If you find me interesting, you should message me. I think I come off as more gutsy than I actually am, and I generally like talking to new people of all kinds.
