Steve

i can be charming sometimes. no, seriously.

About Me

A lot of people have asked me about my politics... well i'm a south park neo-libertarian, if i must have a label.

;/a

My Interests

Likes... single malt scotch & soda, the ladies, punkrock, gummy worms, hold'em, sleep, the drudge report, caffeinated beverages, schlitz malt liquor, philosophy(stoic/existential), obscure etymology facts, altruism, really clever puns, my Garmin GPS navsystem, the autobahn, people who appreciate a sense of humor in stressful times, practicing my Dutch, gyrocopters, cuckoo clocks, funny hats, doner kebap
Dislikes... iPods, beer-snobs, vests(the colorado kind, not the bulletproof kind), control freaks, marketing, denim, people who pretend to be victims and think the world owes them something, terrorists that try to kill me, British people who protest me for not being nicer to terrorists, shaving every day, 50 Cent and the insipid gangster pop culture that spawned him, that nickelback song they won't stop playing on the radio

I'd like to meet:

I would like to go back in time ten years to meet myself, and protect myself from an evil cyborg also sent back in time to assassinate my younger self. Of course i would defeat the cyborg by shooting laser beams from my eyes, then i would buy beer for my younger self and his friends because we were all still like 15 but it will be okay because i came from the future. then i would travel back to the present time and meet Carson Daly, because he seems really down-to-earth and friendly and i think he went out with Tara Reid or something.
