About Me

Bravery, do not fail me now! Illuminate my way through the lightyears of pitiless space! May I have the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury! Also, as long as I'm at it, you can throw in the charming good-looks of Adonis. Hey, no pressure.
When I'm not masquerading as a mild-mannered college-aged boy scout, you can find me safeguarding the solar system against all manner of interstellar ne'er-do-wells. I'll be able to retire at 40 with one red giant of a pension if the subliminal radiation from my power ring doesn't get me first. You see, it's a conduit through which willpower, happy thoughts, and unconditional positive regard are channeled into creating fantastic emerald constructs. The only limit is one's imagination. So, yeah, that's just one finger.
My interests include genuine labor, cosmic revelry, and shifting gears. I'm not terribly individualistic: there must be other models exactly like me, but systemic flaws have caused them to be recalled or discontinued. As you can see, I have short hair. This is obviously because my brain is starving. I'm not an artist or a musician, but that's okay I guess. I am basically some kind of super-powered animal. Between you and me, my deepest fear is the color yellow.
It is my most ardent ambition to construct a square with the geometric area of a circle.
And yes, I am related to the famous naval explorer.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Unfortunately, most of those whom I would have liked to meet are now some sort of skeleton person, and I have no desire to test their skill with the scimitar.

Actually, I've always wanted to throw caution to the wind and shake hands with Fitness Celebrity John Basedowâ„¢ regardless of the danger.

Inquiry into the causal relationship between college and activism.

College kids seem to me to be of a demographic that has always maintained that if one whines loud and long enough, one will get his way. My question is this: does a college education only encourage t...

Help me grow a beard.

I'm not sure if it's in the cards for me. Most gentlemen my age are sporting a Snydley Whiplash or a handsome mutton chop on either side of their rakish gib. It's not easy buying deli pickles when you...

Gamma rays. I'm pretty sure they're harmless.  It's no mystery that I don't do science.  We never saw eye to eye.  See, I can't go three sentences without personifying it.  It has...
