My Self-Summary
New!:
I really wish someone else could write this for me. Maybe that in and of itself is fairly telling of something about me. I’m not sure if anyone knows me well enough to write about me though, however their perspective is probably more honest than mine is. Not that I want to set this all up as some lie, I’d never to that purposefully. I pride myself on my straight-forward honesty. But how can someone speak of themselves without regard to who their audience is? I want to tell you who I am, but at the same time I want you to be a certain type of person. So, I will unconsciously write in a manner than attracts that person. I guess the purpose of this site is for that exact thing though. It’d be so much easier to have a more advanced match system that automatically matched you with the person you could be honest to, truly honest to, without a need to convince.
I could start with the basics here, factual things. I’ve spent going on four years working in retail. Specifically movie rentals. Exactly working going on four years at Blockbuster as a shift leader. I love my job. People hate retail, and they think so little of us retailers, but honestly, I know what you want because I’ve seen what you like, and I can give you something you never knew about and you will love it. Besides work I go to school fulltime. I am a student at Hamline University (of which I take much pride in), where I am about to double major in Psychology and Philosophy, and get a minor in Religion. I currently am studying Unconscious-Processing in Decision-Making for psychology honors, but with hopes of going into grad studies in Research in, and Applied use of, Experimental Clinical Psychotheraphy for Abnormal and Extreme Psychopathology. For philosophy I am in love with post-modernists (Camus!) and the quantum mechanical underpinnings of Greek philosophy and Hindu Vedas. My religious views, if you want to call them that, stem purely from the philosophy of Spinoza and the Vedas (PanENtheism, and fyi don‘t bother with Wiki-ing it, Wiki is wiki-wrong). As far as my religion minor? I enjoy the study of theism, and likewise having knowledge of religious texts because I’ve found the majority of everyone, the believers and the haters, have an equal ignorance of them.
I’m obsessive, sometimes. I’m a rationalist. A cynic. A logicalist. An absurdist. I love music and movies to a sickening extent. My personality is that which makes a DSM-IV-TR-bible-thumper come a little, because one more check mark in 10 different “disorders” and I am the ultimate case-study. Call me schizoid, call me schizotypal, call me depressive, but don’t try to stuff me into any of these checkboxed, cover-paged, listed, bullshit labelings. I will quote lyrics, movies, philosophers, scienctists, literaturists - because my elegance quite often escapes me, and my show-offing shows me at least half as intelligent as I actually am.
I want to travel and I want to learn. Money would be nice for a start, but I’m not someone who’s out to get rich. I say money would be nice for a start, just so I could fix some of the problems in my life that can be solved by a simple paycheck. Beyond fixing a little bit of idiotic debt, money is meaningless to happiness. I’d love to continue my job at Blockbuster, or work at any video rental store, or music store to entertain my love of the arts of medias. I want to travel, I want to see the world. I would want to study and learn anywhere. I want a practical knowledge, just as much as a theoretical one. And quite honestly, the world is a beautiful place, even if that beauty is dark and sickly. I want to see every side of it, and every perspective of it. Show me the dirty backstreets of New York, the Acropolis of Greece, the slums of India, - show me the world is all its brilliance, and all its sickness, and I’ll tell you I find it all beautiful. I don’t get out much though, partially out of apathy, partially because I am happy just going out into the city and watching. I like watching, I like observing. (I like making stylistic sentence structures that piss off high school English teachers) Nothing gives me more of a thrill than seeing the sociopsyhological of common interaction. Don’t call me a voyeur, this is purely rational. People are endlessly interesting.
I pursue everything in light of my absurdist beliefs. This may come off as more cynical and pessimistic than any rational being would actually, honestly and truly desire, but I find absurdity to be beautiful. I obsess with it to no end, and to discover it is to discover a hidden gem in the pile of shit that is reality.
I ramble sometimes, if this about me is not evidence of that. What am I looking for? I don’t know why I should place something like that topic here in this section. But I think it says something relevant. I am looking for someone to have a conservation with. I don’t care about what. If I ask you “whats up?” - I’m not just being friendly, I really want to know. I’m looking for a friend. I am looking for a challenge. Am I looking for, for lack of a better word, a lover? In some sense, yes. But I’m not here to find a fuck-buddy, before I consider someone for a relationships I should be able to: converse with them, trust them, and call them a friend, right? Maybe I’m not right. A lot of people seem to be looking for the lover, irregardless of the rest of that. That person isn’t me. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s me. I can be wrong. Some times I say a bit more than I should, write a bit too long of an email, I’m not good at just saying “hi.” Sometimes I “follow” people around like a dog, begging for attention. Sometimes I sneak away, like a cat, I would rather observe than have my presence known or respected.
What I’m doing with my life
Those got fucked up recently. Thankfully. They were ignorant. At any time of my life you could have drilled me on my plans and you would have found me at a loss for details. Now that all is lost, well mostly lost. I still go to a good college, and I still do good there. But the rest is gone. I am thankful.
Thankful that:
- I utterly neglected to sign up for the GRE’s, thus I won’t be getting into grad school next semester.
-- I am thankful because I don’t know what I want to study yet! Cognitive psychology? Clinical? Philosophy of psychology!? I don’t know yet.
- I lost my job at Blockbuster, well, I’m about to lose my job. The store is closing. I’ve worked management for three years, I can make so much more money someplace else.
So, what am I do? Right now kicking some educational ass at Hamline University. Doing honors studies in both psychology and philosophy. Looking for a new job. Chilling with my friends occasionally. Debating with professors. Looking forward to some time off the requirements. I am taking a year off to study…to study whatever I want. And, also to study for the GRE (eh eh). This summer and next year I plan on traveling to several states, seeing several friends. Maybe leave the country, visit a professor doing work I am interested in over in Amsterdam. Read the crate of books that I’ve been adding too, but that have been untouched and collecting dust for several years.
Oh, you’re waiting for the idealistic shit? Get this! I don’t have a real plan. Yes, I will go to grad school at some point, get my degree. Maybe get a job, maybe not. I want the degree just because I enjoy studying. But if I find a job, be that back at Blockbuster, or anyplace I enjoy working - if I make enough money to read what I want to read, see the movies I want to see, go to a few concerts here and there, and travel every once in a while - I’ll do that for my life. Then I’ll die. Maybe I’ll settle down with a…not a family, but someone. Maybe they will be like me, and want the same things I do. Then settling may never come, just more travel, and more learning from anyone, everyone, anywhere, everywhere.
To RECAP, and add some factuals:
Full-time student at Hamline University, spending four nights a week being the shift leader at a local Blockbuster. I'll spend my life searching out the links between science and philosophy, and biomedical and psychology. All things are subjective, and I'll prove this. In personal study as far as philosophy go, my pursite is relating: Absurdism, Anti-Humanism, Logical Positivism, and Logical Cynicalism (my own system..).
Currently, in the field of psychology, I am working on a honors project concerning the effects of unconscious processing in complex decision making. I have high hopes of eventually getting this published.

On a typical Friday night I am
You should message me if
If you are into unique music...
If you are interested in any field of psychology...
If you enjoy discussion...
If you don't only rent from the full bays against the back wall of Blockbuster...
If you think you could hold a conversation with someone you've never met...and want to prove that...
If I gave you a four or five star match, or have viewed your profile more than once, chances are I'm too shy to say "hi," but you've probably written something that truly caught my eye.
If you match anything thus far said…
....then I want to talk to YOU.
And, I really think you should say hi.
