I am unadulterated joy, battery acid, and non-sequitarian.
My Self-Summary
I'm an extremely svelte collection of atoms that, against the odds
of nature, has somehow shaped itself into the form of a human
being. For the most part, I like to think I lead an inner life. I
often find myself lost in thought or mentally outlining something
I've realized, often at inopportune moments. I try to be somewhat
humorous and easy going, but generally speaking I come off as a
pretty intense individual to people who don't know me.
What I’m doing with my life
I work in an office for the government. My short term career goal
is to pull off a Fedora without looking funny. My long term career
goal is to improve the way government executes the tasks assigned
it by congress. For the most part everything I needed to know I
learned from
Gordon Ramsey, even though none of
that was about cooking. But really, in any organization, whether
you're running a Kitchen or administering benefits to millions of
people, you have to take care of the simple things before doing
anything else will get you anywhere.
I’m really good at
VIDEO GAMESSSSS wait stop don't click the back button
I'm not really sure what I'm good at other than that though that
makes sense to express on a dating website. I've spent a great
portion of my life, purely on accident, training myself to be a
rather excellent bureaucrat. For instance, I'm astoundingly good at
writing correspondence and understanding reasoning that makes
little to no sense.
The first things people usually notice about me
Generally speaking my eyes are the first thing someone notices.
Some people find them to be piercing but I haven't really figured
out why or how to control that. I also have a voice that for some
reason calms severe agitation about half the time, at least if I'm
working at it.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Right now I am trying, with great reluctance, to slog through the
literary quagmire that is Finnegan's Wake. Whenever I am just about
to give up I read something that seems both really poetic and
terribly dirty and so I keep punishing myself.
I don't really watch a lot of movies or television. I watch sports
sometimes, but frankly once this football season is over I think I
am just going to drop my cable subscription entirely.
The six things I could never do without
Number one is going to be eyesight. Smell and taste? Take it or
leave it, but vision is key.
When I tried to go camping as a boy scout I quickly discovered that
indoor plumbing is another thing I can't really do without. Call me
a snob, but I kind of like to think that a college degree does mean
that I should never have to dig a hole in the ground and do my
business.
There's also the internet. I can be without it for a little while
but honestly every other form of communication feels like it takes
so much more effort, especially if you're trying to make
connections with strangers who share similar interests.
But really I can't think of six things in total that if push came
to shove that I really couldn't do without, excepting those things
that you can't do without either as a human being with cognitive
functions, e.g. oxygen, food, etc.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
that thing i just said. I'm a man of action! I am frequently
worried about becoming a hipster on accident. A good friend of mine
once told me that I should become one because I would make the
perfect hipster. At least I think they are a friend of mine~
Also why is a colon called a colon when it is really a double dot?
On a typical Friday night I am
Reading a book, going to a bar, hanging out with friends, playing
vidya games on the intrawebs, and generally trying to relax after a
long work week.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
My favorite line in Finnegan's Wake appears on page eight.
"Sexcalibur hrosspower."
Sexcalibur is pretty self explanatory, at least as Joyce goes.
"hrosspower" is a combination of horse power and the German word
for steed.
You should message me if
You want to be the Nora Barnacle to my James Joyce.
