For all my good intentions, it wasn't until now, through fortuitous chance, that my stance proved so

About Me

I'm a writer, a [true] gamer, a student at UNCW, a native to Carteret County, NC, and a brain; not necessarily an intelligent brain, though I have been named as such in lesser words. I think, ponder, wonder and wander quite a bit and have decided in my thinking that for the sake of reason there is only a few mentalities that I am allowed. As a brain, I do my best to appreciate all life, and even some nonliving things. There are a handful of scarcely tangible things I appreciate too, but I'll not get into them here.More completely from the brain, and yet perhaps less real somehow in being connected to what I sense around me, I am a human. As a human, it is all I can do to act to improve myself within the limits of human fault, obligation, and weakness. I act to improve myself and I move towards the betterment of those around me. That's what I attempt to do at any rate. It doesn't always get done.Through the union of brain and body (tethered by spirit), I can say that I am ultimately searching for a lasting happiness that seems not to exist in the physical world naturally. I think I know where to find it, so I'm not all that worried about the outcome. I'm mostly a happy guy when I'm not thinking overmuch, so until my day comes I'll just keep in step with the rest.

My Interests

Nature and culture, spirituality and philosophy, videogames, writing, reading, and antiarithmetic. Somethin' about girls in there somewhere.

I'd like to meet:

R2D2, open-minded people, a juggalo, the person who did the voice of Pikachu, Shigeru Miyamoto, Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst would be nice, and, while we're on the subject, a few brazilian and scottish girls as well.

Music:

Rock music consisting primarily of Maynard, with some lesser bands thrown in every now and again.And some grudgingly time-lended hip-hop during eclipses.

Movies:

Good movies are few and far between, but when they are found they are able to invoke emotion in me that no other entertainment medium can rival. I'm sorry video games, please don't hold a grudge; you're already mad at me as it is. I know, I know, I plan on resubscribing just as soon as I get my career on track and have a little more free time. What's that supposed to mean?!? Listen, not finishing the new Zelda was fluke, and besides, I had better things to play. Hey, wait...babe, come here. I'm sorry. I love you - you know that. What do you say we go back to the bedroom and play a little Guitar Hero? Eh...eh? Oh, you are such a bitch. My fucking finger was was broken!

Television:

Shit that tries to entertain me but never really gets around to it. Sometimes though, if I'm eating in my apartment, or have run of sticks to whiddle, I'll watch nature and comedy shows with one eye. The other eye I put to work on more productive ventures like ogling the next piece of sesame chicken or staring at my wall. The fix for shitty TV: Plug a Wii into that bitch.

Books:

Lately, whatever I'm told I have to read. I used to read for pleasure, but I no longer have any time for it.

Heroes:

My dad. Also Steve Irwin, because he reminded me of my dad.
