About Me

I get angry at concrete after it rains and all the worms squirm in death throes on my morning walk.
My name is Stephen. I live in Denton, TX, which is on the fringe of Dallas and is the site of the University of North Texas, which I like to think of as the "Harvard of North Texas." I am trying to get a PHD in Math from said university. They provide me with wages to teach 5 classes every year. Sometimes I feel driven to unravel problems in math, but sometimes I only go through the motions to maintain an acceptable role in society. I couldn't stand for my parents to have a freak or a homeless person for a son. Isn't that how you feel about your job?? I know even Buffy the Vampire slayer felt that way sometimes.
I don't believe in favorite colors,foods,places,etc. The current standard of trying to assemble that kind of nonsense into a "personality" is the absurd conclusion we have reached after 400 years of believing Descartes when he said the ego is a real and tangible ghost in the bodily machine.
