About Me

I'd like to live in a cave and have people trek miles to come ask me questions and I give them enlightening answers.

The pay might suck, but the hours are good.

My Interests

Genuine human interaction. Life marrow sucking. Good days and great days. Being in the wrong place at the right time. Damaging the egos of shallow, vain people. Shaping fragile little minds. Confusing the masses. Being multidimensional and interdimensional. Justifying various disparate points of view. Improving my intrapersonal score on the Multiple Intelligences Test. Having religious/political discussions with intelligent yet close-minded people. Organizational Psychology. Laughing. Clicking with new peeps. Appropriating inappropriate slang for my own devises. Picking at my toes. Great Denver Omelets. Cartoons. Telling people what to do. Proving I’m right. Admitting I’m wrong. Making Sarah cry. Stinky Cheese. American History. Reading the classics. Wearing ugly shirts to work.

I'd like to meet:

People who impress me.
