About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Black and blue


My Interests

Metaphors, aphorisms, wordplay, sometimes poetry; coincidences and Serendipity; social psychology. Choosing between metaphysics and existentialism each day. Unpopular culture, electronic gaming, and the net; biking and sometimes hiking.

I'd like to meet:

All I can think of for certain right now are students, angel-winged bohemians, philosophers, kind folks, outcasts, out-of-towners, young people, and gray hat hackers. And somebody who can teach me how to fly or use my telekinesis or... who just wants to write some poetry with me. I'm sure there are plenty more.
