About Me

Look around, what do you see, what truly is, or fantasy? "The truth is here, do not resist", yet through the fight, difference persists. When does it stop, where does it end? Our thoughts conceive, realities bend. Look past your doubts, for there shall be, what always is, what cannot be, anything...
I say that, but in the end, I don't really believe any of it. If I had to describe myself in any way, I suppose that would be it in a nutshell: someone who claims to know the answers, but can never actually do anything with them...
Other than that, my personal quest in life is to answer the question asked in the video above... I've gone so far as to begin conducting a sociological survey in order to ascertain whether or not there is any discernible reason for this vexing social phenomenon... Unfortunately, the onset of our company annual dinner has diverted the time I would have spent writing out the thesis and proposal for this survey. Of course, the simpler and more practical solution would be... to get the f*ck out of Seattle and go to Japan... But, if I did things logically, my life would have gone quite a bit differently than it actually did... which probably wouldn't have been a bad thing in retrospect, but whatever...

My Interests

I miss the days when I was interested in life.

I'd like to meet:

Hm, my ideal encounter with the person of my dreams...
I imagine myself walking down a street lined with blooming sakura trees. As I'm walking down, a gust of wind results in a swirl of sakura blossoms, which I shield my eyes from. As it's starting to die down, I notice that there is an incredibly beautiful girl standing there in the midst of the flurry of blossoms. Being incredibly striking, my first instinct is to walk up and talk to her. However, as the flurry comes to an end... lo and behold, up walks her boyfriend...
Everyone I've told that dream of mine to pretty much had the same reaction... which was "Uh, aren't dreams supposed to be happy?" They probably are, but no point getting your hopes up too high right? When you expect the worst, you're not disappointed when it happens.

Music:

I swear, it's not as gay as it looks...
The only types of music I really can't stand are country and reggae.

Movies:

Anything involving guns, zombies, explosions, swords, martial arts, or any combination of those.

Television:

I haven't had cable for a while now.

Books:

Haven't read a book in ages, did enough of that when I was a kid.

Heroes:

I don't hold anyone in that high regard, unfortunately.

My Blog

So...

Every once in a while I wonder if I've started giving people too much credit for intelligence, logic, reason, etc. Supposedly I've lightened up a bit over the last few years, but I'm becoming increasi...

Did not think that one through...

So... like I figured... That proposed experiment turned out to be a fairly big failure... On the bright side, I did learn why it failed, so now I should be able to progress past this a bit more succes...

So, what to do...

Many of you have heard tell of my proposed sociological study... Currently, I've begun to write up my objective/thesis for this experiment, and so far everything seems to be going well... 15+ voluntee...

WTF?!?!

It figures that the one time in my life I try to do something as simply as possible, the situation goes completely convoluted and fubar. Apparently this is some kind of sadistic divine punishment for ...

Never mind...

Apparently I'm still right all the time... I suppose hoping to be wrong was a bit idealistic of me, but meh, I figured it'd be worth a try. ...

Whaddaya know....

Well, I guess I can be wrong once in a while... In all honesty, I suppose it's too early to be saying that yet, but who knows, I can hope I suppose. Of course, I can also fail, but I think for once I'...

Where to draw the line...

So I was in one of my usual bad moods, when I started wondering... people say I'm emo when I get all moody and brooding, but when does it stop being "concern over a legitimate reason" and start being ...

In light of V-Day... opinions wanted...

OK, so in this purely hypothetical situation, let's say person A works for some random company. Recently, person B (who just so happens to be a really cute, really cool girl) started working with pers...

Ugh...

So I'm bored outta my mind but I don't feel like doing anything, and I'm tired but I don't feel like sleeping. Soon I hope to be so lethargic and apathetic that I'll lose my desire to eat, blink, and ...
