I am crafty, exuberant, and affable.
My Self-Summary
These are the facts:
I love flying. My life goal is to have a plane. I know how to fly
but I don't have my license yet. I've been told I'm rather good at
flying. First flight I took off, flew for 30 minutes and flew the
pattern twice (on account of the plane floating halfway down the
runway on the first approach).
Knowledge and skill are nothing more than applied effort. I'm good
at quite a few things and I got that way by listening to people who
knew more than me, then trying things out for myself. I have the
scars to prove it.
One day, about a year ago, I was at work and somebody asked a
question ( I don't remember what about) and I answered it. It was a
strange question about some obscure topic and my boss turned to me
and said, "You know entirely too damn much about too many things."
What could I say to that? "Thanks."
What I’m doing with my life
Working. Writing three books. Browsing book stores. Drinking tea
because I don't really enjoy coffee. Unless it's from a Vietnamese
restaurant.
Right now I do tech support work and write.
I’m really good at
I am great at dancing and singing along to songs (Rock Band lead
singers represent). I am fantastic at writing.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm tall. Some people think I'm intimidating. Other people notice
that I love to talk. What they immediately notice usually depends
on how tall they are.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I love reading. There are a ton of books I love so here area few:
The Sun Also Rises - Ernest Hemingway, Beyond Good and Evil -
Friedrich
Nietzsche, American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis, We - Yevgeny
Zamyatin, Something Wicked This Way Comes -
Ray Bradbury, The Neverending
Story - Michael Ende, The Hero With a Thousand Faces - Joseph
Campbell, Don Quixote - Cervantes, Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs -
Chuck Klostermann, And You Shall Know Our Velocity - Dave
Eggers
Cinema is fun too! I can go on about movies if you'd like. I enjoy
Total Recall, Northfork, Pi, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Wild Zero, the
Dark Crystal, Amelie, The Thin Red Line, The Big Lebowski
I like music (surprise!). The bands and artists I like span all
genres. These represent a small cross section of my interests:
Mew,
Porcupine Tree,
Jurassic 5,
Guitar Wold, Thievery
Corp., Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, Explosions in the Sky, Samuel
Barber,
Frank
Zappa, Edgard Varese, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Sufjan
Stevens,
The
Residents, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Suede, Reel Big Fish, The Eels,
Aimee Mann, Ani DiFranco, Queen, the Beatles. I also love House
music, particularly Soul and Funk House as classified by
Di.fm
I cook well. Ask me about my amazing beef roast in onion gravy. I
appreciate great food. Allez cuisine! I will eat pretty much
anything. One of my good buddies owns an Indian restaurant. I'm
also pretty good friends with a guy who runs a Thai/Japanese fusion
restaurant. It's all good. I make the most amazing applesauce
you've ever had in your life. Guaranteed.
The six things I could never do without
A silly question but one I shall answer nonetheless! Socks, scotch,
peanut butter, a pen, quantity 1 interesting person to talk to, and
a way of going places (car, motorcycle, airplane, unicycle ...not
so much the unicycle)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Buying a plane and a
motorcycle. Going
hiking/climbing/running. Writing.
How
generic I
could possibly make my
interests.
A better analogy to use to describe the way the universe and space
time are related. It gets really old trying to explain how "you
can't go north of the north pole."
On a typical Friday night I am
Sitting in my bedroom, crying myself to sleep because nobody loves
me and I have no friends :,(
In all seriousness I tend to roll up and catch all the stuff I've
missed that week, whether it's a couple of shows (Lost, Fringe,
Dollhouse, Burn Notice), catching a movie or writing. I don't crave
going out late at night. I like sunshine.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I sing acceptably well, but only in the car or karaoke. I can't
carry a tune to save my life without accompaniment.
I have a man crush on Henry Rollins.
Centipedes creep me the hell out.
You should message me if

You know that "irregardless" doesn't mean anything
Be aware: If you believe that creationism or ID should be taught in
science class as an "opposing viewpoint" to evolution, message
another boy. This one wants nothing to do with your crazy,
anti-intellectual self.
