The gene pool could use some chlorine.

About Me

I'm me. I'm odd. I crave knowledge. Everything I get into I have to know where it comes from. I live for the day, not for tomorrow. I like a good time. I don't believe in fate, I don't believe in destiny, I don't believe in god for that matter either. I believe in the now. The everything around us. The everything we don't understand that controls our environment. On a "spirtuality" level I'm a pantheist. If you don't know what that means look it up. I'm an amateur graphic designer and web designer. I'm also a wannabe musician. I'm also a control freak which is why I don't have a band. I'm also a collector of things. I collect music. Preferably on vinyl. It's almost a forgotten format. It's a technological marvel still to me. It's the way music was meant to sound. I work in the adult industry. I'm an advocate for porn and human sexuality. To sum it up, I'm pro-choice, pro-freedom, pro-expression, pro-gun, pro-liberty, pro-equality, pro-america, pro-technology, pro-unity, anti-ignorance, anti-racism, anti-hate, anti-republican, etc, etc. I'm probably a super left-wing democrat. Whatever. It's all really about how you feel. Categories just make it easier to explain yourself.

My Interests

Computer parts and hardware, random electronics, music, multimedia, music software, hot sauce, vinyl records, history, human sexuality, pantheism

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet someone who actually has their own perception of the world around them other than the one they've been bred with. As well, an open-minded person who is willing to question their own ideals and beliefs if strong evidence is presented that brings their ideals and beliefs to scrutiny. One who is musically articulate, regardless of genre, who loves their sound and is one to learn the history of their sound. Understanding of the origin of anything you love is of utmost importance. Everyone should know where they come from. I'd also like to meet someone with a realistic approach to spirtuality, someone who has a true understanding for human life, even if it differs from mine, and who is able to see that they may be wrong, for I may be as well. One who constantly seeks knowledge, and who lets no information go unabsorbed. Basically I'd like to meet a true person, regardless of how hard that might be.

FISHES!

I recently added some fish to my collection, as if you care. I got a Crown Tailed Male Betta fish whom I named Betta Lugosi, and he lives with two algae-eaters named Helter and Skelter. Unfortunately,...
