But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing

About Me

I have a serious addiction to sugar. Really, I need help. Not to mention my little problem with Vanilla Mint Chapstick. Remember kids, friends don't let friends do lip balm.

Note: I've normalized my age to my approximate maturity level (pay no attention to the petty jealousy of those who claim it should list '3 years old'.)

'The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself. We've begun at last to wonder about our origins, star stuff comtemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion billion billion atoms contemplating the evolution of matter, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness...Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves but also to that cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring.'


My Interests

Physics, and science in general. Fetishes. Reptiles. Tattoos. Piercings. Fighting (someday I will actually start winning.) I HATE interviews. Intelligence. Playful people. Talking till 6 in the morning. Italics. Politics (I am a recovering CSPAN addict.) Poetry. Romance (dairy free, please.) Close friends. Amusing myself (occasionally at the expense of others, but that's what friends are for ;). Parenthetical asides (I think I have a problem).

I'd like to meet:

Fellow wanderers and true friends lost...

Music:

Guns n' Roses. Motorhead. AC/DC. Buttrock in general. Zombie. Allanis Morissette. Kid Rock. Sarah McLachlan. Jem. Dido. Coldplay. Alice in Chains. Tool. A Perfect Circle. Marilyn Manson (reluctantly.) Van Halen (even Van Hagar.) Zeppelin. Godsmack. Sheryl Crow. Metallica. Joan Jett. Natalie Imbruglia. Skynard. Damien Rice. John Mayer. Nirvana (despite being responsible for those dark years in the 90's) ..

Movies:

The Unforgiven. Fallen. Shrek. Fight Club. Solaris. 28 Days Later. Saw. Dawn of the Dead. The Matrix. The Professional. Movies that start with 'The'. Minority Report. Vanilla Sky. Movies that explore what it means to be human--particularly those that explore the darker side.

Television:

Scrubs. NPR and that other station next to it (is it strange I see the tv in my head?) CSPAN. Star Trek (don't even start). The Family Guy. If I admit I like Beavis and Butthead, will you hold that against me?

Books:

Cat's Cradle. The Elegant Universe. The Last Unicorn (again, don't start.) King Richard III (plays are close enough.)

Heroes:

Calvin (aka Stupendous Man).

My Blog

Anyone up for a grand adventure?

I'm thinking trekking through Nepal.  Or maybe a jaunt through the Amazon.  Complete with near death experiences and eating things that should not be food. Anyone?

Spiral

Seeking sorrow, I have found it. A troubled soul grown weary. Nothing left but indecision. I spiral down.

Am I the only one

Who sees a slight problem with using a perpetual war on terror to justify the use of wartime powers?

Tempest

My mind is a turbulent sea of chaos,in brief moments calmed, wherein great things take shape.  Ideas given form majestic, only to be lost to waves of disorder, first lapping hungrily at thei...

Asylum

She begged me to commit her. I tried to assuage her. She wouldn't hear me and begged again. I refused. She took it upon herself but failed before the door. I have her still...my precious shell.
