About Me

I am now a junior at the University of Southern Maine, a declared major in Psychology and intend to also study Anthropology. Studying at college is my way of avoiding a career that could be sufficiently handled by a robot.I tend not to stomach bull shit, whether I'm subjected to it by the media, religious gonzos, businessmen or whomever. Timothy Leary sums it up with "Think for yourself. Question authority." I'm a huge proponent for self-actualization and refuse to blindly follow anyone.All in all, much like all of you, I am simply seeking an enjoyable existence during my time on earth. I believe this should be the chief end of all that we do in life, for it promotes acceptance, love, cooperation, compassion, happiness, and peace among all.

My Interests

Experiencing, watching, listening, and learning. The world is full of unknowns and misunderstandings. That is what interests me.

As for recreation: I enjoy Aggressive Inline skating, camping, nature walks, outdoor pow-wows, debating, listening to music/ going to live shows, hunting, fishing, exploring, hacky-sack, reading, and exercising the fortune of a free mind.

Topics I'm into are: Current Events, Philosophy, Science, Music, Politics, and shit that is otherwise cool and fun.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet anyone who's lookin' for a good time living, experiencing, sharing each other's thoughts and company. If that sounds good to you then get in touch!

Music:

Some random artists I've been big into lately are: Devildriver, Puscifer, Fergie, Jamiroquai, and Nas
