Working like I got a pay raise

I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Not much to say. Lots of college, but only a 2 year degree to show for it. At least I have a helluva broadened horizon from sociology, physics, comp.sci., art and I forget what else. Spent too much of my life doing too much of nothing, then joined the USAF and became a weather forecaster. So now I spend too much of my life doing too much of something that means absolutely nothing. Been to Germany for 2 years (2004-2006), now i'm in DC for at least 4 years til 2011. Who knows where i'll be in 2012. Hopefully Japan or Alaska or someplace in the SW US...or better yet...Antarctica..one can dream.
I wish I could get a cat, but i'm relentlessly single and feel it would be highly irresponsible to get a cat with the possibility of deployment. Why bother getting a pet when you have to dump them on some stranger for a few months?
Here Be Dragons : An Introduction to Critical Thinking. Should be mandatory teaching in middle school. Maybe then our collective national IQ would be high enough to laugh off Creationists. (http://herebedragonsmovie.com/)

My Interests

Music. Fark. Snow sports. Mountain sports. Beer. Halo. Assorted other stuff (nerdy stuff).

I'd like to meet:

Snow sporters. Mountain bikers. Random personalities.

Music:

Misfits, Ramones, Faith No More, Metallica, System of a Down, Tom Petty, Dylan, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday, etc. My muscial interests are wide, varied and random. From chinese opera to punk to techno to whatever else I freaking like because I freaking love music. Either that or despise the sound of silence. Not the song. The actual lack of music.

Movies:

Aliens, Sin City, Purgatory (TNT original), Bladerunner, What Dreams May Come, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket. Other crap I can't think of right now.

Television:

The Venture Bros, Family Guy, Sealab 2021, Robot Chicken, The Simpsons, Firefly, Star Trek (that's right god dammit!). Love the History and Discovery channels (and their offsprings). The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Alas, I have no cable.

Books:

Neuromancer, anything else cyberpunk. RPGs (long ass list). Ethics and philosophy books. Mythology, from greco-roman to judeo-christian and everything else (I draw zero distinction between the mythology of long dead religions and the mythology of currently-trying-to-dominate-the-world religions).

Heroes:

None that are alive. And anyone that calls a sports star or any type of celebrity a hero needs to be beaten with a hose.

My Blog

Let me tell you something about collapsed lungs..

Seriously, let me tell you. It fucking sucks. Not so much the collapsed lung though. My right lung may have spontaneously collapsed on May 1st. The day I put Staff and was hit a few times. Or it may h...
