Within the "
reality-based
community," I am currently sitting at a desk.
I'm also using a computer, one of the wonders of modern technology
brought to us by science. Over the past eight years, I've often
felt that the country was headed in a marked anti-science
direction, and worried that our technological progress would
stagnate. But now that we've chosen a bold new path towards
progress, I worry that robots will destroy us all.
Locking and loading, putting the pedal to the metal, crossing lines
in the sand, getting my ass in gear, transforming and rolling out,
and baking
cellular peptide cakes
with
mint
frosting.
Also, editing textbooks to pay for the Creative Writing MFA I'm
currently working on.
Surfing the internet when I should be
writing. Playing Guitar Hero when I
should be playing
guitar.
Also, using Google. I will find random information for you fast.
Guaranteed. No money down.
That of all the souls they've encountered in their travels, mine
was the most...human.
Also, I have eyes and lips. So I'm told. (Haven't verified yet.)

The best looking guy in the room. Of course I'm usually the only
guy in the room, since it's, you know, my room. But still.
I only work out my glamour muscles.
