About Me

Irrationalist
Atheist
Rational Egoist

....
People who think deep interest me, better to have opinions than none at all. Apathy is a soul crusher, I'm sure of this.
HOW TO MAKE A MARK:
Mix some pseudo lad with a fair bit of geek. Let stand. sprinkle some subjective moral sense, a tea spoon of pitch black humour, pour mug of beer, now stir.
additional things to know about me:
I lived in Brazil for a year and a bit.
My big toes are scary.
I procrastinate for England.
I'm a cat person not a dog person.
I say things as I see them. For good - and for bad.

My Interests

Football - Blackburn Rovers and Portugal.
Boxing
Tennis
Reading
Hopesfall
Writing (Philosophy,film reviews, poetry)
Music
Films
Porn
Sex
Singing in the shower
playing ancient computer games
Tinkering with computers (programs such as Dream weaver 8)
Comics/Graphic Novels.
Anime
old fashioned romance
Philosophy
Psychology
History
Politics
Debating
Masturbating

I'd like to meet:

people who are smart and make me LOL... like this person"my symbolic logic professor always said "good logicians are a dime a dozen". he was quite a funny man, but we didn't really "click" philosophically. i did well in his classes, but he always tried to "turn me from the dark side" according to him. he was not too fond of the heidegger types. i remember him making jokes when derrida died. he said something about "well see what deconstructs now" or something to that distasteful nature, but a fun man nonetheless."-Myspace person
