About Me

"People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me"- Soren Kierkegaard. I find the homogeny and pseudo stratification of our culture to be incredibly pathetic and boring. Everyone is way too euphemistic in justifying the emptiness all around. I'm not too thrilled with this thrownness into a dystopian society either. Interpretation is unfortunately and usually a nonsensical actuality, and quite often abhorrently absurd. Aside from that, I love good comedy movies, low budget horror films, and watching the Montreal Canadiens. Poker has been taking over alot of my time again, but it keeps me content. ..
