I am a living contradiction. I'm a forthright, straightforward lover of farce and absurdity. I am a non-practicing atheist. I'm a logical and rational person as well as a weird and chaotic person. I am a passionate person as well as a stoic person. I'm both giving and demanding (this should not be construed as me being demanding about how you should live your life, I am demanding about how others treat me). I am a very serious person. I'm a very silly person. I am forward and complex. I love science and hate math. I am reliable. I'm honest. I am cute. I'm funny. I prefer logic over emotion. I grow roses, but no longer have time to tend to them. I am often far too direct and I can be accused of being too evasive when trying not to say something that I shouldn't.

Things I have done: Co-owed a punk rock club, played in 3 bands, wrote for a number of Texas music newspapers in Houston and across Texas, hosted a regular hour long show on a pirate radio station, opened for the Butthole Surfers when Gibby Haynes pulled me up on stage and said "Just keep talking.", ran around in my underwear in a crowded theater (see above), fixed cars, built a blood-spitting chainsaw, worked on films and videos, ran my own computer business, drove 130 MPH through Alabama, wrestled with a young lion, became a minister in The Church of the Subgenius and have since performed 3 marriages, attended SF conventions, collected comics and wandered through downtown Boston's three worst neighborhoods at 4AM delirious, covered from the knees down in vomit.

Political Ideology: OKCupid seems to think that I am more republican than most. If you look at me closely I'm sure you will find that I am nothing like any republican you have ever met. Politically, I am an advocate of personal freedom, responsibility and consequently an advocate of smaller, less intrusive government. I have very definite ideas about right and wrong. I am in favor of some major changes in the way which the country is run, a two party system that favors the party with the most to spend. I am in favor of real choices in schooling as opposed to incessantly pumping up a tire with a hole in it. I find the idea that the government thinks it knows how to spend your money better than you do to be absurd. I find the idea that you should be forced to hand over the fruits of your labors to someone so they can do what's best for you, borders on slavery.

My interests are: punk rock, SF aka science fiction, computers, science, big brains, interesting people, restaurants, drinking tea and recently bubble tea and general weirdness.

I am shackled to a computer business not owned by me and I do a number of things on the side or used to when I had time. I currently like to go to Teahouse for a drink I created, a coffee slurpy with icecream, tapioca balls, chocolate and whipped cream. I read quite a bit and watch SF on occasion. I have been watching the new Doctor Who, BattleStar Galactica and Stargate. Someone please rescue me.

Fixing things, giving massages, coming up with clever ideas, being cocky, cooking, sex, etc.

I'm like a large red haired viking. Some people think I'm scary looking but I'm a pussy cat. Oh.. and I am weird.

Possibilities of technology and how my bills are gonna be paid. You know that movie "Clash of the Titans"? I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothing, but I think unicorns kick ass!

I like live music, especially weird stuff and punk rock. Punk rock with bagpipes is even better.

I have only one testicle. I couldn't think of anything more private to say. I'm pretty open about myself. I'm not the kind of guy who would ever be offended by a question about myself or an honest criticism.

Ok, here's another kind of weird thing about me, I don't lie. Ever. About anything. Most people take for granted that there are certain times where it is appropriate to lie. I don't.

You are smart and not completely irrational, have a fairly firm grip on reality or you think I'm cute or clever or you wish to toss my salad with syrup or grape jelly.
