hey whats up - if it matters to you at all - i set up the links so theyll open up in separate windows - theyre mostly youtube clips - so even if youre not necessarily interested in me - or dont have the time to now - come back and have fun with all the links i posted

im a goofy cerebral sentimental kind of guy - i talk a lot but try to stay away from small talk - im usually attracted to unassuming introverts with brooding abstract intellects - id rather be with someone who doesnt need me but just enjoys being with me - i like tall - i love rain - i wish thunderstorms were as common as sunshine - i like daydreaming - long conversations on random abstractions - the few minutes of intimacy in a small movie theatre before the film starts - and diversity and differences within relationships:

THE DOT AND THE LINE: A ROMANCE IN LOWER MATHEMATICS

i dont really like talking about myself in conversation - i like conversation in which both are able to explore and discover things about one another without having to talk directly about yourselves - i mean i can do that to - and enjoy it to a certain extent - but even though im an outgoing person - i dont really like being the center of attention - in social situations or relationships - id rather the exchange of ideas being the focus - and even though i speak in rough drafts - in all situations my first instinct is sincerity

FROG ROUND (WHAT A QUEER BIRD THE FROG ARE)

im an ENFP for whoever knows about myers-briggs - i think relationships (romantic and platonic) should function as filters for the world inside and around us - so that we can share with each other what we ve experienced from our personal perspectives - and get a better understanding of individuals and how we re connected to everything - KUM BI motherf*ckin YA yall!

the chomsky-foucault debate: on human nature

a friend of mine whose opinion i kind of trust suggested i read KUNDERA and this is pretty much how i felt about TULOB but i enjoyed LAUGHTER & FORGETTING a little more - so i guess i dont read enough because i feel like bad or mediocre books arent worth the time spent suffering though them - so send me some suggestions and help me out - but this is one of my all time favorite passages from HOUSE OF LEAVES:

~~ aside from recurrence, revision, and commensurate symbolic reference, ECHOES also reveal emptiness - since objects always muffle or impede acoustic reflection, only empty places can create echoes of lasting clarity

ironically, hollowness only increases the eerie quality of otherness inherent in any echo - delay and fragmented repetition create a sense of another inhabiting a necessarily deserted place - strange then how something so uncanny and outside of the self, even ghostly as some have suggested, can at the same time also contain a resilient comfort; the assurance that even if it is imaginary and at best the product of a wall; there is still something else out there, something to stake out in the face of nothingness

it is not by accident that choirs singing psalms are most always recorded with ample reverb - divinity seems defined by echo - whether the vienna boys choir or monks chanting away on some chart climbing cd, the hallowed always seems to abide in the province of the hollow - the reason for this is not too complex - an echo, while implying an enormity of space, at the same time also defines it, limits it, and even temporarily inhabits it

when a pebble falls down a well, it is gratifying to hear the eventual plunk - if, however, the pebble only slips into darkness and vanishes without a sound, the effect is disquieting - in the case of a verbal echo, the spoken word acts as the pebble and the subsequent repetition serves as "the plunk" - in this way, speaking can result in a form of "seeing" ~~

INCREMENTAL DRIFTS (?)

im hardly embarrassed with anything about myself - my feelings my opinions my actions - if you care or dare to ask - then youre going to have to take partial responsibility for what you feel from hearing the answer

1983 MCDONALDS CHRISTMAS COMMERCIAL

...YOU CANT WAIT - if youre a potential friend - potential lover - if you like to think about and analyze things - if you are lloyd dobbler or terry bellefleur - or if youre an INTJ - INTP - ENTJ - INFJ - or if you want to just dismiss the profile youve read up to now and hang out and do whatever

but if you need to...TAKE YOUR TIME
