About Me

I've recently been trying to become a health freak.
I'd say one of my biggest quirks is that I always want to try things my own way. I'm still like a child in that respect. Sometimes it works out for me, other times I just make myself look stupid.
Some of my recent obsessions include: Mr. Show, green tea, Danny Elfman, Eric Clapton, DDR, and Taekwon-Do.
I have a ridiculous amount of knowledge about video games, to the point where it's kind of sad. I also know how to spell "ridiculous" correctly.
My goal in life is to live for thousands of years, and yes I believe that will be possible
I hate stupidity in all its forms.
I read a LOT, and I'm always looking for suggestions. Give me some!
People who inspire me:
* Friedrich Nietzsche - the most brutally honest, realistic, and amusing human being ever.
* Richard Feynman - a briliant scientist who was amazingly charismatic, hilarious, and curious.
* Bruce Lee - created the ultimate martial arts body, made his own path to health and always kept an open mind. Plus he's a total badass and can do a 1-inch punch.
* Chet & Erik from OMM - they have the most clever sense of humor ever, and have amazing ideas about what games and entertainment should be. They're also willing to write 6+ pages just to mock something they think is dumb.
* Ray Kurzweil - I can't decide if he's a genius, a wacko, or both. He makes me excited about the future, though.
By popular demand, here's a pic of me at my Taekwon-Do class:
