I live my life without compromising my ideals. I believe that everything in life is an art, and that with so much beauty in the world, everyone should be content to live their lives merely for the sake of life itself, and for those brief, blindingly brilliant moments of intense poetry and beauty that let us know that things can go right in this world. But only if we let them; only we can bring happiness into our lives. We are masters of our own destinies, nothing more, nothing less; to think otherwise is at the peril of your life and your happiness.The only reliable aspects of me are:
Martial arts (its a good stereotype, why resist)
video/computer games (bad stereotype but you know what fuck you i do what i want)
good, obscure shows in small, smokey venues
solitude
driving around aimlessly at breakneck speeds
watching and over-analyzing films and quality tv
reading quality literature, then engaging in over-analysis
SCIENCE and education.

Some quotes that may change your life, or just throw you into a pensive mood:
"I wouldn't recommend Humanism for...the great majority of the planet's population...only a person of deep faith could afford the luxury of religious skepticism. Humanists, by and large educated, comfrotably middle-class persons with rewarding lives like mine, find rapture enough in secular knowledge and hope. Most people can't."
"In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence."
"While there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free."
"Everything in life is balance. It is only fitting that the most magnificent of all emotions, is also the most malevolent and oft maligned. Love is grandiosity and grief, love is gain and loss, love is love."
