About Me

About Me:

I am a bipedal primate belonging to the mammalian species Homo Sapiens in the family Hominidae.


Who I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet Norman Borlaug. He is an agronomist, humanitarian, Nobel laureate, father of the “Green Revolution” that used agricultural science to reduce world hunger, and has been credited with saving a billion lives, more than anyone else in history. He is my hero and if you had ever heard of him then he would be your hero as well.

Music:


I enjoy rhythmic vibrations. Primarily jazz, drum&bass, and hip-hop.

Movies:


The best movie i've seen recently is Angel-A

Television:


Don't you wish there were a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence? There's one marked 'Brightness,' but it doesn't work.
-Gallagher

Books:


I read a lot so I'm not bothering with a list. While I can't claim to like everything that I read I most certainly feel enriched by a book even if I wasn't a huge fan of the story. The only book I've ever read that I wished I hadn't was Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged." That book was a crime with 1200 pages of mental vomit.

Heroes:
