About Me



This little box has problems:

I strongly dislike assumptions, and anything I say here will lead you to make them.

On the other hand, without anything written here the only reason for anyone to contact me is out of physical attraction.

So, what to do?

When it comes to people, I'm an idealist. And I have the patience of a saint. If I'd ever seen a shrink, he'd say I have borderline personality disorder.

I love people, plain and simple. I guess what I should really say is "I love people who live in developed countries;" you see life a little differently when you don't live as a king and have to fight for survival.

I wish I could show people what they're capable of.

My Interests

People.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who doesn't bore easily.

And people who are less intelligent than me without making me feel superior.
If you feel that's immodest, then let's discuss it.

Life's Lessons

Right before I moved up here I had gotten a fortune cookie that said, "Do what you can with what you have, where you are."  At the time I had thought it was hysterical that I should get such a fo...

The FDA and Lobbying

I've known for quite some time that a lot of the health problems in this country come from the FDA being more interested in profit than what should and should not be permitted.  That's why Trans ...

Regression

I'm starting to remember why I used to be a cynic.I think I've used the word "hate" more in the last month than I had in the year prior.  And meant it.Thanks Cincinnati.

On Socialization

I was speaking with someone today, and they asked what it is that I'd like to do if we were to hang out.  I went through a list of general activities -- going on a walk, watching a movie, hitting...

The disconnect between chemistry and compatability is unfortunate, at best.
