When did ignorance become a point of view?

About Me


... Born and raised in the great city of New York, LES Manhattan to be exact. I like to keep it low key. I'd much rather spend an evening at a cozy bar in the Village than spend a night at some loud dance club.
I would like to consider myself a student of knowledge. However, as my horizons get ever expanded I realize the true gulf my knowledge as well as the improbability of ever attaining satisfaction. In this regard, perhaps my insatiable curiosity is a curse; a cruel joke laid upon me by an indifferent God. On the other hand, it may just be a blessing.
I spend much of my time pondering issues such as Religion, Darwinian Natural Selection, Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, and the inability of the NY Rangers to score on Martin "The Man" Brodeur. Damn that man... damn him to Hell!
Amendment: The results of Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs contradict the preceding statement. It appears that the NY Rangers have solved the enigma of Brodeur. Perhaps there IS a God after all.

My Interests

My love of animation, both traditional and CGI, is equaled only by my interest in Science. Particularly Cosmology and Quantum Physics, confusing as they may be. Honestly, does anybody get String Theory?

I'd like to meet:

A smart girl with a great sense of humor who is willing to sleep with me for little to no money.

Thoughts on the Afterlife

Raised Catholic, I was taught that one had to accept Jesus Christ as your savior in order to enter the gates of Heaven. But that leaves out too many people, Jews and Muslims, Hindus and Animists. Good...
