My Interests

"Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live." - Socrates"Morality is merely an attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.""Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know." - Ralph Waldo Emerson"I keep two magnums in my desk. One's a gun, and I keep it loaded. The other's a bottle, and it keeps ME loaded." - Tracer Bullet"Train to handle what happens most, and you will be able to handle most of what happens.""Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow." - Plato"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves." - Confuscious"Freedom is a possession of inestimable value." - Cicero"If you find yourself fantasizing about throwing actual users in the blender, please seek help...they're heavy!" - The Blendtech Man"It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes." - Douglas Adams"The best way out is always through." - Robert Frost"I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members." - Groucho Marx"If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand." - Confucius"Once harm has been done, even a fool understands it." - Homer"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." - Douglas Adams"Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake." - The Bible"Much speech is one thing, well-timed speech is another." - Sophocles"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop." - Confucious"Why did the chicken cross the Mobius strip?""To flee vice is the beginning of virtue, and to have got rid of folly is the beginning of wisdom." - Horace"Death is not the worst that can happen to men." - Plato"He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife." - Douglas Adams"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me." - John Lennon"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." - Aesop"All substances are poisons: there is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy." - Paracelsus"All things worthwhile shorten your life and are finite, while an uninspired man's days will lengthen in the darkness." - Jared Von Hindman"You tell everybody. Listen to me, Hatcher. You've gotta tell them! Soylent Green is people! We've gotta stop them somehow!" - Charlton Heston"Technological possibilities are irresistible to man. If man can go to the moon, he will. If he can control the climate, he will." - John von Neumann"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." - Voltaire"The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." - Jack LondonDan Henderson: "Everything falls into place because I designed the place, saught everything out, and applied generous amounts of gravity.""Live for yourself, and die for the same.""Those who blindly fight for the wrong cause still at least possess the vigor to fight at all.""I envision a world of peace and harmony, and every inch of mankind exterminated in the massacre leading up to my vision.""Maybe it's karma working backwards to get ready for some unrealistically great thing that's about to happen to you.""Do not try to get what you want, only try to want what you get.""You remind me of a forest fire. Fierce, wild, and gorgeous, but altogether necessary to prevent the forest from choking itself and dying. Compassionate in your own destructive force, and capable of desolation, but still calm and focused.""Created by the past, the present is merely an interface for those who wish to impact the future."

I'd like to meet:

My problems head-on.

Music:

Anything that appeals to me. I'm guilty of enjoying at least something from every genre I'm aware of. On a whole, music rocks as much as I do. My top 10 favorite bands at the moment are as follows:Tool Nine Inch Nails Atmosphere Dog Fashion Disco Killswitch Engage Symphony X Strapping Young Lad Mewithoutyou Parkway Drive Dredg

Movies:

I like plenty of movies. Talkies are better, and in greater numbers. Musicals are some of the best, but the theater takes the cake. My top 10 favorite movies at the moment are as follows: eXistenZ Spun Snatch Memento Natural Born Killers Eternal Sunshine And The Spotless Mind Magnolia Boondock Saints Suicide Kings American Beauty

Television:

sucks.Anything worth watching on TV can usually be bought in a box set in a mall. My top 5 favorite shows at the moment are as follows: Scrubs Arrested Development Six Feet Under Family Guy The Simpsons

Books:

An expression of one's thoughts bound between two protective layers. They're fun to read, but more fun to burn.Their exsistence opens the doors to fixing history. Douglas Adams is one of my favorite authors, and incidentally one of his books (Well, series of books) is also one of my favorites.The HitchHiker's Guide To The GalaxyThe series this introduces is the only book, or books, that I've ever done anything resemblant of raving about, and even though the movie was decent, the book was at least 42 times better.

Heroes:

Lobsters Not only do they taste good, but it turns out they don't suffer from natural death like most of the rest of us earthlings. ...and so, all of my real friends are my real heroes. They have this terrific tendancy to give me more than I could ever hope to give myself. Call me co-dependant, but I love them. Plus, I have one little sister. A more important hero of mine is, some would say, a figment of my imagination. Mikey Church. 'nuf said.

"Just because I can" is good enough.

The faning faith of a fetid God's followers fulfill the prophecies of a fortuitous fall.  Temptation whirls around the would-be wicked, and devours the decidedly dutious do-rights.  The begi...

A survival apparatus is formed before you show any symptoms.

The better you understand death, the shorter your life becomes. I feel the onset of a new requiem.  A hollow effervescence, an antiquity of delusional self acclimation, the fettered spine of an a...

The sun wanes, waxes, and all of the rest.  Tonight, the moon sets over the living horde.  Regret is born of pain, who is silent.  We can try to hide our virtue, but vanity loves those ...

This is how my mind will flail.

The sinner's throne.

Forelorn with scorn and born to mourn, he follows a path leading him to bathe in a bath of your wrath.  Swollowed and hollow he followed what seemed to gleam between the redeemed, and prayed the ...

The plight of the living is that death is so giving.

A long black tounge cascades the blade's edge, and the deep rooted fruit of his heart departs.  "I taste blood." floods the serpent's breath, the best offered by his chest.  Fear ripples&nbs...
