I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a complex person with complex tendencies.
I like to push things.
I like people who are direct and secure.
I like people who are bold enough to tell me when I'm being ridiculous.
I like people who are strong and can put me in my place if need be.
I'm mostly happy.
I also play the drums.

My Blog

I shade with decisions.

I've been moving through different phases of mental construction and analytical musings and I have recently begun to hit the point where I had planned to hit.  I may not always know the "why" par...

Bakotopia 18

What's the difference between your appendix and Britney Spears?  Your appendix probably served a good purpose at one point.  Which brings me to my next point: evolution.  There are two...

We are all gods.

Wherever I stand, where does that leave you?  You're thoughts are tied to reason but your character is strapped to the seat of iconoclastic resistance.  And I am the holier one because I ca...
