There's a fine line between existentialism and toxic self-regard. I like to think I walk that line every day of my life.

Not really, but I do think that's a funny line.

I'd say I'm honest, loyal, and fun. I also value these characteristics in others. I suppose I have a rough sense of humor, but I'm more likely to throw myself under the bus to keep the conversation flowing than anything else.
I won't say I'm simple, but I am straightforward.
I read a lot, and exercise to stay sane and fit. My friends mean the world to me.
I used to think that I had all the political answers, but recently I don't even know what the right questions are. I'm pretty much completely reevaluating the way I relate to the Big Questions.

I am friendly, open?, and fuck it.

Slave to the State (of New Jersey).

At the moment: moving and setting up an apartment.

Getting in my own way. Listening. Retaining random facts that interest me. Arguing without meaning too.

I'm pretty tall? I don't know. If I ever have an out of body experience, I'll check.

(None of these lists are exhaustive and all are subject to change, especially music.)

Authors: Hunter S. Thompson, H. P. Lovecraft, Matthew Woodring Stover, C.S. Friedman, Jim Butcher, Terry Pratchett, Glenn Cook, Michael Pollan, Anthony Bourdain, Molly Ivins (RIP), Patricia Briggs, a shit-ton more that I can't remember at the moment.

Movies/TV: Arrested Development, Community, Firefly / Serenity, Fight Club, the original Star Wars movies, Dr. Strangelove, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill vol 2, Superbad, Bridesmaids, The Guild.
Glee and Battlestar both got kicked off the list for turning shitty, though with BSG it took until the last ten minutes of the series. Really? Starbuck is a fucking angel? Really?

C) Nick Cave, Nirvana, The Misfits, Dropkick Murphys, David Bowie, Flogging Molly, Velvet Underground, N.W.A, Brothers and Sisters, The Doors, Jay-Z, The Eels, Johnny Cash, The Decemberists, The Ettes.
M.I.A. and Beyonce get honorable mentions for having at least one song stuck in my head for over a month.

D) Sushi, Italian, Chinese, Shellfish

This one has really been pared down in recent years. I guess they'd be:
Self respect
My friends and family
Books
Time to myself
Politics, because I don't have an ulcer yet
Profanity

My purpose in life. The validity of abstract concepts of justice, fairness, etc.

Why television seems to be getting worse and worse.

Is the concept of progress valid on any scale or was it a brief and destructive delusion?

Who lets their six year old child stay up until 11 at night (hey upstairs neighbors? I'm talking to you here) and the why aforementioned child seems to have fucking hooves. Made of cement.

Out usually. A lot of the time in Bethlehem PA, where my closest friends live.

I'm judging you.

Not really.

Okay, maybe a little. Admit it, you do too.

You like what you see. It helps if you have a sick or rough sense of humor. I do, and while I can turn it off for polite company I don't like doing so too often.

I don't think the above summary does more than an adequate job of explaining who I am, but I'm absolutely open to questions: ask away and I'll respond.
