I am a sophist, a poet, a dreamer. I think deep, and think often. Most of the time I get so caught up in some idea that I forget to eat or sleep... am I sleeping now?
I also enjoy outdoor activities like rock climbing, cliff diving, hiking, and camping.
When I'm not doing either, i'm just kicking back with a good book, or a good movie. In fact, most of my leisure time is spent watching movies.
I'm into Poetry, Philosophy, Literature, Art, people who deviate from the norm, women who deviate from barbie, muscle cars.

Below, my Heart, my Bliss

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



PHILOSOPHER FOR HIRE!!!

So I've decided to Pimp myself out. Thats right. No joke. I'm pimping myself out. Do you want to go out to dinner, but don't want to go out alone, and don't want to dine with some terribly boring individual? Do you want to throw a dinner party, but don't want everyone to be incredibly bored with small-talk about the weather? Are you confused about life, what it means, where its going, where its taking you, and whether or not you have a worth living? Do you want to have an engaging discussion about Poetry? Literature? Philosophy? World Events? Politics? Religion? Life? Dating? Romance? If you're in the Knoxville area (but not limited to that geographic locale), you can reach me here through myspace - prices subject to an arbitrary scale of comfort and discomfort relative to desires and motivations as it pertains to my feelings about you, personally and impersonally - then again, this may be a facetious advertisement, due to insomnia, boredom, and too much caffiene.
