About Me

Join me on my unending quest for truth. Many glorious journeys and perilious perils await. Maybe one day we can at last defeat the status quo.

In case you didn't notice, I'm a huge nerd and proud of it.

I'm probably way too polite and old-fashioned for my own good.

Myers Briggs: INFJ... Intensely introverted on some ocassions, but at other times extremely talkative.

I am probably a prude by your standards.

I appreciate a good challenge and dislike taking the easy way out.

I am always open to re-examining my view of reality.

I like music that challenges and inspires me in interesting and imaginitive ways. This usually takes the form of guitar solos, overly-long epic theme albums, and tons of blastbeats.

So Whos Country Do We Gotta Invade To Get Cheap Gas Prices Around Here?

So I guess I was somewhat mistaken in being led to believe that, regardless of the moral implications of the war in Iraq, it would at least lead to cheaper gas prices. My recent $4.25 per gallon purch...
