Let us pause in life's pleasures and count it's many tears.

About Me

I love baseball. I wish I had more time to enjoy life. I am a skeptic. I am a philosopher. I am a bit of a non-conformist, but not in a childish, narrow minded way. I believe in equal human rights for ALL PEOPLE. I love my friends and I wish I could see them more often. My advice to you; say yes to life and say no to drugs... I am serious.

My Interests

Psychopharmacology, theology, philosophy, music, guns, dissonance, politics, and being an over-achiever. .. As of 1/19/2007 the war in Iraq has cost: 359,661,000,000 and rising, 3027 lives of American soldiers and the lives of 54,611-59,868 Iraqi civilians. Say no to war!
