I'm always looking for the next rush. I love philosophy, movies, martial arts, food, hiking, skydiving, flipping, filming, travelling, exploring, philosophy, parkour, trying new things, seeing new things, driving in random directions, groupons, museums, the beach, mountains, vegas, gambling, cliff jumping, bouldering, learning something new, lounging around the tv, tripping, cooking... and that's just what comes to mind at this moment.

I'm outgoing and shy. Well-spoken and crude. Intellectual and stupid. Calculated and Risky. I'm still learning about myself, and I hope you are too. I like to try something new every day, and I think life is amazing.

For all those with ADHD, you can skip this part... It's just some long winded nerdiness. Yes, I am a nerd, but not all the time :-)

Have you ever heard the saying we're all made of stardust? It's an extension of the law of conservation of matter. Before you were alive, every atom in your body was once part of the Earth, which came into being some billions of years ago, and of which every atom came from some other part of the universe. Since matter is never destroyed, carry this process over across the infinite universe and that means that every atom on this Earth was once part of a star. Extended further, since you came from the Earth, every atom in your body was once part of a star as well.

Now let's look at the stars. Many are hundreds of billions of light years away. This means that they are so far away, that it takes the light they give off billions of years to reach our eyes here on Earth. So really, we're only seeing old photographs of what those stars used to look like hundreds of billions of years ago.

Now, take one of those stars. In the hundreds of billion of years that it took to for its light to reach our eyes, it could have exploded, it's atoms sent across the cosmos faster that the speed of light, becoming part of this planet, that comet, until one day, one of those atoms makes it all the way here on Earth and was part of an apple your mother ate when she was pregnant with you. Now it's part of your heart. Now take another star. Same story, it exploded, atoms sent everywhere until one was here on Earth and was part of an apple my mother ate when she was pregnant with me. Further, think about how many things had to happen exactly the way that they did in your life and mine so that you would be sitting in the exact spot your sitting in, at the exact time that you are, that you would be reading the profile of some guy you don't know from another part of the planet.

It's a journey across the universe, culminating in this precise moment in cyberspace. You may never message me, look at my profile again, or even so much as think about me after this moment is gone, but you and I shared a miracle together.

I do what I like to do, whenever I like to do it.

Just going with it.

I'm not what they expected, whatever that expectation might have been.

Food, adventures, martial arts, movies, technology, philosophy

Life and our miraculous circumstance
-"Thermodynamic miracles. Events with odds against so astronomical they are effectively impossible. Like air spontaneously becoming gold. I've longed to observe such a thing. Yet we neglect, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Now multiply those odds by countless generations. By your ancestors being alive. Siring this precise son, that exact daughter, until one day your mother loves a man. And of that union, of the millions of children competing for fertilization, it was you, and only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from the chaos of improbability... it's like turning air into gold. That is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermodynamic miracle. But the world is so crowded with people, so full of these miracles that it becomes commonplace and we forget... I forget. We gaze continuously at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet, seen from another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away. You are life. More rare than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg. The clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly." -- Alan Moore

Human perception of time and space
-When you are 5 years old, an hour seems like a lifetime. When you're 25, a minor annoyance. When 80, you'd rather have 2. To a 800 year old sea turtle, an hour seems less than a second. Even with glass: it is a liquid, but it moves so slow that we see and experience it as a solid. However, a glass window on an 80 year old house will be thicker at the base than at the top. So say we shifted our perception so that every 100 years took place in an hour, what kinds of inanimate objects would come to life? Maybe rocks are just living things moving so slowly that we see them as dead solids, while we are moving so fast to them that we aren't even seen at all.

Doing whatever feels right.

I'm a sucker for strong women. Although I like "being the man" and taking care of a lady, I hate feeling like I am obligated to because I see it as a sign of a weak woman. It's hard to respect a weak anything!

If you take care of yourself, I'll take care of you too ;-)

You're chill. I like to have a good time, and so should you :-)

It's super annoying when people are flaky, unintelligent, not look like your picture in real life or just an internet talker. I'm down to hang out though! Love meeting new people :-)
