I am eccentric, opinionated, and compassionate.

My Self-Summary

I am a simple guy, working as an IT consultant in Toronto. Though the job itself can be boring, I try my best to get the most out it, and the same with life.

But I don't blame the world for my problems. I try to be more than just a function of my circumstances.

I am against political correctness. I don't like self-righteousness, and I don't believe in charity for publicity. I am unequivocally against bandwagon support for causes one dosen't understand.

I am a libertarian, a vegetarian, and I don't tell people what's right for them. I believe that silence is a virtue. I love Lou Dobbs, Milton Friedman, and Glenn Beck. I love to listen to country music especially Alan Jackson, George Strait and Randy Travis, and some music from around the world. I am passionate about politics, varieties of food, animals, history, computer programming, and my home, (the city of) Brampton.

What I’m doing with my life

"I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go"

But I look for the rewards in simple things. I attended the University of Waterloo to study Math. My work primarily involves programming, documentation, debugging, recommendations and/or case studies I like to invest in the stock market a little bit, learn something new everyday, and would ultimately like to be content with what I accumulate. I don't wanna live my life to pay a mortgage.

I enjoy long distance running (7-15k), working out and (experimental) gardening. Plus, various varieties of food (though, often I am happy with a simple sandwich), and playing with my big Labrador Retriever.

I’m really good at

keeping my mouth shut :) - what's said at the table, stays at the table. I also enjoy performing stand up comedy, and I am not afraid to offend you.

The first things people usually notice about me

The sincerity with which I am completely out of touch with any sense of fashion. And, although I am often tight-lipped or shy, I like to surprise people on the dance floor.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Books:The wholeness of life, Wuthering Heights, King Lear, Scheduling Theory, Tyranny of the status quo, Liberty and Tyranny

Movies: Chasing Amy, The God Who Wasn't There, Thank you for smoking, Shrek, Blow, Born on the fourth of July, Little Miss Sunshine, Inside Deep Throat, The Truth about cats and dogs, The Great Global Warming Swindle, The Cartel Movie, Not Evil, Just Wrong.

Food: Fruits, Yogurt, Vegetables (but not turnips), nuts. Italian, Chinese, Beer ?

The six things I could never do without

I spend a lot of time thinking about

I spend a lot of time thinking about the lives of generations past, the sacrifices made, and the disconnect between their aspirations and fears in contrast with ours.

I also spend a lot of time thinking about how I can help anyone appreciate and understand this world, their local environment, seeing fact from propaganda, staying informed, and exercising mind over emotion.

On a typical Friday night I am

...at home, listening to music, running around in a park with my dog, or at the gym lifting weights, reading some news, or just watching a movie or a documentary.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I wear really silly boxers. No, they're not invisible

You should message me if

if... you're a bit quirky, opinionated, strong, smart or audacious. if you think you know it all. if you love rigor - academic, physical (that doesn't mean sexual) or intellectual. if you believe you can learn from someone and, that it doesn't mean you're desperate for attention.

Message me if you too, are looking for a greater purpose beyond your tranquility, and, you don't seriously believe what's said in the "My Personality Awards" section about me. WTF indeed.
