I am ambitious, lazy, and contradictory.
My Self-Summary
I am a Philosophy Ph.D student at UT.
I watch too much TV, but that's mainly my DVR's fault. Here are
some shows I like: The Practice, Seinfeld, Curb, The Office
(American version), Star Trek: TNG, News Radio.
I'm often sarcastic and irreverant. Not much offends me, but some
things make me mad. Here are some of them: creationism, Sean
Hannity, bad driving, homophobia, press secretaries.
I have a cat that looks like it's been cross-bred with a
rabbit.
Here are some characteristics I like in other people: curiosity,
intelligence, loyalty, considerateness, non-flakiness, immaturity
(the good kind).
What I’m doing with my life
Trying to become a philosophy professor.
I’m really good at
Poker, ping pong, procrastinating, alliteration, golf, parking on
UT campus, getting parking tickets.
Also, as a philosopher (yes, that's what we call ourselves) I'm
good at thinking; so if there's something you need thought about,
drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: I don't read much non-academic stuff.
Movies: True Romance, American Beauty, Star Wars (the original
trilogy), Braveheart, Kill Bill(s), The 40 Year-old Virgin (and all
other Apatow stuff), Office Space, Borat, The Secret of Nimh.
Music: Pink Floyd, Bad Religion, various electronic stuff I don't
know the name of, anything that rocks, anything that makes me feel
at one with the universe.
Food: Sushi, Indian, anything expensive.
The six things I could never do without
"never" is a bit of an exaggeration...but, in no particular
order:
TV
cat
critical thought
infantile humor
take-out
AC
On a typical Friday night I am
Hanging out with friends, talking about really stupid stuff, really
important stuff, and/or yelling at each other.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I have a man-crush on Barack Obama.
UPDATE: My feelings towards Obama are starting to fade, for various
reasons -- he better do something to make it up to me...
You should message me if
I really don't have any specific criteria...if you want to do so, I
say go for it.
