About Me

http://quakephil.com OMG SORRY ALL! I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT FORCING YOU TO LISTEN TO SOME STUPID SONG NOBODY LIKES EVERY TIME YOU LOAD MY PAGE! HOW UNCOOL AND PRETENTIOUS OF ME! ...but if you insist :
mp3: ray
mp3: mars
mp3: canibus Recent college grad with interest in programming computers. I am not picky, but I know what I like. I am into linguistics, from puns to wordplay (English/Russian) to hacking kung fu. I am not always very talkative especially about things I don't like. (Question: how many puns have I squeezed into the last two sentences?) I'm not big on math although supposedly I minored and majored in mathematical academia. (Answer: passed all that calculus, and I still can't figure it out.) I self-professedly have nerves of steel but, as Clint Eastwood once said: man's gotta know his limitations. I have a younger sister and an older brother (and a niece!) (And... another sister, older than me.) On the rare occasions that I hate, it's because I can't find a single reason why I shouldn't. I like speed-cycling on a smooth surface. I like fast electronic music. I like QuakeWorld. I like programmatic systems. I don't like drama. (There is enough of it occuring naturally in the world, I don't need you to synthesize any more of it for me) Random fun links: walla , walla , walla , walla , walla , walla

My Interests

fast-paced cycling, quakeworld, battlefield 2, modular electronic composition, programming, strong and sharp coffee, dark beer

I'd like to meet:

I would like to see my Mom...I have not seen her in more than a decade. Update! I have "met" her finally after all these years. It's awesome. Who else would I like to meet? You! And all the nations of the world.Generally, I like stable people with a strong constitution. I avoid the excessively dramatic. I identify with people who know what to expect but can be transient during the unexpected. Those who expect too much are beyond me (e.g.: people who are picky about their food). I agree with the realist but disagree with the fool. I hate the tastelessly vulgar. I sincerely cherish those who cherish themselves as they do others. I consider insecurity, lack of self-respect and self-confidence to be a negative trait. I benefit in a mutual way from those who are independent, and I am exploited against my wishes by those who are helpless. I force myself to ignore the sad people who live without anyone at all.But most importantly, if you treat me in a way that is levels below the way I am treating you, expect to be highly disappointed in our future relations :)

Music:

classical, techno, hardcore, psytrance, house, disco, dnb, gangster rap, etc

Movies:

action, comedy, war flicks, good independent films

Television:

only sports and comedy standup. I can't stand most of anything else, (shows, especially that reality bullshit, news, etc., all is turning into guano)

Books:

Isaac Asimov, Tom Clancy, Robert Heinlein, Bertrand Russell, lots more

Heroes:

Eddy Merckx, Lance Armstrong, George Carlin, Seryoga Sychev, Ondrej Sosenka, Gustaf Greitz, Anton Singov

Knees

My knees are hurting, but it is a good hurt within limits. Did a fairly hard half hour sprint last night against the wind and rain. If there is rain during a day, you can bet your ass that...

Just curious what anyone thinks about this. If you have an idea, just write it as a comment to this blog.Suppose you define something as what it is not. (I think this is the only way to truly define s...

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

Sometimes I ask that from myself... Who am I and what do I do?
