Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I'm me. Pretty random. Don't like me? Wait a few minutes.

I live in a small town. I fix computers for a meager living. I can sometimes be found doing karaoke, trying to remember any of the martial arts stuff I used to know, trying to get better at swimming (that's the build I want, hell yeah), or getting utterly owned at games (good for the reflexes, though).

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

I've often heard people telling others to "decide what to do with your life." If it's so important, I don't think it should be rushed, regardless of what another person's pace might be. So, what I'm doing with my life is deciding, carefully weighing.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

I'm really good at things I'm interested in. I know it's mind blowing, but it's true.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

Wears all black, strange sense of humor, odd movement style. I'm a weird person.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

(A) Books: I've liked all Steinbeck I've read. I also loved 1984, The Jungle, Brave New World. I guess there's a trend here of socially critical literature. I mean to read more, but daily life isn't so permissive of that. I'd love to get an Amazon Kindle, though. I'd definitely read more. Probably while at work.

(B) Movies: Science fiction is great, especially when it's flashy and action-oriented, or suspenseful, or sci-fi-horror.

(C) Music: Electronic stuff, dancy stuff, heavy stuff, and/or ambient/creepy stuff. And then a little jazz and classical when the mood is there. I could drop a list here if I thought it was relevant, but if you're interested in specifics, feel free to drop me a line.

(D) Foods: Whatever I feel like.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

That's a tough one. Or six.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

"What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.'" [The Gay Science, §341] - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_recurrence ((Wikipedia: Also fucking awesome.)

I think about transhumanism and technological singularity a lot. I imagine what it would be like to have all of humanity's knowledge not at my fingertips, but at my every axon, trickled into my nerves directly, prompted by nothing more than the thought of wanting to know. It would be given to me in streams of pure visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory information: "these are the properties of niobium, in terms of your sensory perception and the laws of physics," and full knowledge of it would be mine within picoseconds. The experience of gaining the knowledge would be mine, without the economic requirements, transportation, or scheduling. And it wouldn't be only for me. It would be for all of us. Communication between individuals would be instantaneous and unambiguous, using the same methods. It's not about cheating the mind from a true learning experience. It's about artificially developing the mind at the same time as one naturally develops it, using it to its full potential by giving cohesive multiple inputs all with the same meaning. If you could see, hear, smell, taste, and touch truth all at once, you would know it with the entirety of your being. Perfecting the interface between the real world and our minds will give us absolute control over our reality. (long winded, but not a quote)

I would like to think that I ask "why" AND "why not?"

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

What do you think would be entertaining? There's not much, so I might have to make something up.

You should message me if Propose an edit

- you don't believe those "personality awards" labels that are determined by answers to the questions asked by the site. Every answer is situational and, I'd like to think, rational. Sometimes, if I have no opinion on a subject, I answer non-committally, hoping not to affect results either way, so factors like that make these "personality awards" useless as a personal summary.
- you think we could get along, hang out, something.

- the impulse strikes you. I don't intend for this section to be a "you should NOT message me if," like I see on so many profiles. This isn't here to limit or exclude.
