I am here for Friends

About Me

Hello world. Nice to meet you. I'm a 23 year-old guy from California who enjoys bending time and space in my spare moments. I'm interested in anything that is either meaningful or meaningless, or both at the same time - like baseball. It's just a game, but it can also be seen as the quintessential metaphor for all human interactions, or just a fun time at the park on a summer day with good buddies. My favorite palindrome is "Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas". I play bass guitar, and I'm learning to play the regular guitar. Just like pretty much everyone on the planet, I enjoy music. I enjoy a very eclectic range of music. As for other random facts and interests you (you faceless, amorphous reader who may someday find this passage, digest its contents, perhaps then contact me, and solidify into a shape and personality my mind will randomly assign) I am a Navy corpsman, photographer, and saber fencer. I can ride a motorcycle (though sadly I don't have one at the moment), and I read every day. In the book of life, I'd be a semicolon. What would you be? Catch you on the flipside.
