About Me

I have an insatiable appetite for learning. Due to the tangential nature of its ferocity, it is simultaneously my greatest strength and greatest weakness. While I do not subscribe to mediocrity as an approach to anything in life, that same appetite for knowledge ironically allows my perpetual degree of success in a given field to most aptly be characterized with a likewise description. I am most certainly a person who feels "driven" or "compelled" in various aspects of life, such as learning. I simply wish that I was compelled in an applied sense, and not just in having a (literally) unstoppable mind. Now, if only wealth were distributed based on the level to which a person challenges their intellect.
My son is a brilliant little stud of a man, who may rival me as one of the most challenging people to ever be raised. I know him, as much as I know myself, and because of that he will flourish. He will not feel torment in the way that I felt torment through being raised the way I was. He will not be creatively, philosophically, psychologically, or emotionally stifled as I was. I can't wait to stand back and admire him as the years progress. He teaches me things every day about love, honesty, and accountability. He causes me to rethink every decision I make, and realize that what I do does not affect only me.
Your Brain's Pattern
Structured and organized, you have a knack for thinking clearly.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has taken the time to read all of this.

Eccentrics.

Anyone who is living their life exactly as they feel on the inside....embracing their essence and who they know they truly are.....who they are underneath all the inhibitions and masking layers under which life buries us if we're not careful. This quality absolutely radiates from people, and is the most attractive thing I've ever beheld.

The French ARE assholes.

Does anyone else find it frustratingly ironic that the very same pussies that can’t even stand up for a GOOD cause and fight a war, are willing, en masse, to attack the (unarmed) Olympic torch c...

Mourn for Bobby Fischer? Not a chance in Hell.

Bobby Fischer died yesterday at the relatively early age of 64.  The cause of death was kidney failure, but it's largely irrelevant and hopefully eclipsed by the kind of man he was. Initiall...
