Philippic Phillip!

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

About Me

Some people consider me arrogant, which seems ridiculous to me, since I am as open about my flaws as I am about my merits. I would consider this accurate self-assessment. I also frequently display signs of low self-esteem. Much of my life can be described as avoidance of stress and responsibility. I consider myself generous, and will always make sacrifices for a friend if I have the means to do it. I am generally honest, but I often word things in a way that are deliberately ambiguous and meant to be misinterpreted. I have little shame, and will discuss almost any subject and answer almost any personal question. I have a tendency to be the devil’s advocate. I like children but not infants. I love my family but prefer to have as little to do with them as possible. There are only a few people with whom I feel comfortable spending more than a few hours together. I am normally reserved around people I do not know, but frequently feel the urge to confront total strangers when I feel that their actions are stupid. This sort of action is apparently something that most people are afraid to do, and greatly enjoy hearing about, considering the popularity of my blogs on the subject. I have not been on a “traditional” date in almost a decade. I generally treat all events with friends as casual, even with people in whom my interest is more than platonic. I have far less interest in sex than most people, but will admit to occasional masturbation, and have had thoughts and dreams about sex with friends. I usually prefer non-sexual activities with a significant other which are still intimate, such as massage. I am not one who has an overwhelming need for romantic relationships, but if I am in one, I expect it to last. My dreams are sometimes frightening, occasionally funny, and always vivid. My dreams have a disturbing tendency to be prophetic. I frequently experience dèjá vècu and occasionally dèjá visitè, and when I take the time to figure out why, it is usually because the situation at hand has already occurred in a dream. I enjoy making other people laugh, and wish I was funnier. I am a frequent sufferer of L'esprit de l'escalier. I have great interest in language, but am unwilling to invest the effort into becoming fluent in other tongues. I love music. Given no other choice but to be blind for the rest of my life or deaf for the rest of my life, I would most likely choose blindness. I love the taste of human blood. With the exception of the color pink, which I have a bizarre love/hate relationship with, I usually prefer dark colors.

I'd like to meet:

Calling all morons: I need new blog material.

Music:



Movies:

Death to Smoochie. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Shawshank Redemption.

Television:

I rarely watch TV, and when I do, it's typically on the Internet. I like The Simpsons, Heroes, Flight of the Conchords, and The Big Bang Theory.

Books:

I mainly like books that portray humans at both their finest and their worst. Catch-22, 1984, Choke and Survivor by Chuck Palanhiuk, Lolita, Fahrenheit 451 and A Clockwork Orange are a few examples of this. I also like books that have a sort of absurd humor such as the Illuminatus! Trilogy and The Principia Discordia. I also like military classics, such as The Art of War and Go Rin No Sho. I like some science Fiction and fantasy like Ender's Game and the Song of Ice and Fire series. Finally, there are books I like just because, such as Flowers for Algernon, Shogun, and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.

Heroes:

Leonardo Da Vinci. Henry Ford. P.T. Barnum. Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
