Everything is infinite up to a point.

About Me

I'm an aging geek. I'm a Scorpio. I have an awesome wife. I need to get out more. I used to get paid to set off fire alarms, now I just install them. I am young enough to stay up all night, old enough to know better, and crazy enough to do it anyway. I'm totally in to the ideas of Buddhism but could never be a buddhist. Death before Dishonor. Coke before Pepsi. Dunkins before Starbucks. Calm before the storm.

My Interests

Board Games, Computer Games, Movies, Music, SciFi, Cooking experiments, Eating Out, Social Awareness, putting off getting out of debt.

Dating the Undead

I was thinking about this today (don't ask me why) about various forms of undead. Which of course led me to thinking about going out with them. If you were going to date a member of the walking dead, ...

How I start every day

It is now after midnight, and I need to get up for work in a little over 5 hours. Or try to, anyway. That's ok, sleep is for the weak and sickly. And the well rested. Besides, that's why they make ala...

Why am I here?

Why am I here? Myspace, that is. Don't worry, I'm not gonna be getting all philosophical about the nature of existence. Not much anyway. I've been asked "What's the point of Myspace?" and found myself...
