I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I Moved just about yearly until my early 20's.
Once a raver, a Soldier, Currently a Mad Computer scientist, and 3rd time round college student, one day a park ranger or school teacher.

I, like everyone enjoy having a good time, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, I'm generally down to do anything from running around taking photographs, to hanging out in a dive bar and laughing with/at my friends, I love the smell and feel of urban decay as much as the feel and smell of a thick old forest in the morning. I am a Nerd there is no getting around that, and I don't take the title as an insult. I love to think about everything from politics to whale songs, to take things a part, to try to build things from scratch. I think the beauty of all things from flowers to the stars are not only their outward aesthetic but also their complex inner workings.

Most of all I love to talk with educated open minded people, you do not have to believe in what I believe, you do not have to agree with me, I will not take it personal. I will express my opinion and possible outwardly disagree with yours, that does not mean I do not like you, or that I am not having a good time.

I believe in the spirit of man, I believe that we have it is us to be far more noble that we ever have known. I believe that once man sees past religion, countries, races, sex, and all other divisions we may then find the nobility in ourselves. I have little hope to ever see this day, but its a grand dream is it not ?

I also enjoy the following:

• the living soul of NOLA
• Sunny days by windy bodies of water
• Body mods (human not auto)
• Urban decay
• Rube Goldberg Devices
• Eletronic Music culture
• Philosophy that counters scientific thought
• D20 systems
• Tessellating Patterns
• Photography
• Kink Oscillations
• Behaviorism
• The Undead
• Onna Otaku

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.

Friendship

Friendships seem to be made up of endless words, and a few actions that validate or nullify their worth.  Funny or tragic how that works
