About Me

You know...the usual...words, concepts, ideas, thoughts common to a person who likes philosophy and social science. I can't tell you what I do in my free time because I don't have any. But if I did, I would probably listen to music, hang out with friends, just veg, perhaps drink selective alcoholic beverages, and something involving time travel and one of those birds that fly around the bay, you know...bagels? I guess one perk of being busy all the time is that you don't have time to be bored...sorry, that was a lie, I always find at least 1 minute a day that I'm bored. Just message me and we'll have a good time discussing topics at your leisure! Ok, that was a lie, too. But don't let that stop you from meeting someone great...no...God no...I was not referring to me...what are you...why would you think that?Watch out for: Angus, the pair of scissors, and Jantar, the light bulb!

Heroes:


All my heroes are dead. That isn't some sort of poetic statement or something. They are all actually dead, except for I guess, the current Dalai Lama, Jimmy Carter or Jurgen Habermas. I really admired Jacques Derrida, John Rawls, and Richard Rorty. I also respect all those who fight their own private wars across the globe and are never recognized.

It seems that all the good die young. *sad soundbyte plays*

Blogtastic

Blogs are so lame. Why do you need to even express individual feelings and emotions. Everyone should look and feel the same, then there would be no need for blogs.
