About Me


I've changed quite a bit from the person I was five years ago. I guess it's not really a change so much as a revealing of who I truly am.
I have become more direct. I like voicing my opinion at the wrong times. I am more bitter, and therefore enjoyably more sarcastic. I have seen myself at my worst, and am all the more able to laugh at myself now. My humor has become darker, too. I care less about material possessions. I cannot respect the incompetent. I know my strengths; I know my weaknesses.
Life entertains me.
Things I love:
- Humor, in all forms
- Sarcasm
- Learning
- Passion
- Fresh air
- Tolerance
- Capturing the world with a camera
- Angry music
- Competency
- Discovering something new
Things I hate:
- Pop culture
- Liars
- Stereotypes
- Inaction
- Complacency
- Conscious ignorance
- Chris Cornell (Oh come on, Black Hole Sun has the worst lyrics ever, and I cry myself to sleep when I think that he's singing with what was once Rage.)
Many people flirt with the idea of changing the world; I'm not going to be a tease.
