I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I come from a large family; immediate or otherwise.
I firmly believe in living an efficient life/lifestyle. I don't drive a car and really have no intention of doing so, unless their status changes dramatically. I never buy food that I don't eat. Ever. I hate eating at restaurants. I sometimes have trouble spelling restaurant. I go to the mall without buying something 95% of the time. I like observing "things." I often explain sentences that I just wrote immediately after I write them(wink). I think that if government is broken it's only because it was made that way. I'd rather fix something than throw it out. I believe society eerily resembles itself 2000 years ago, and for that matter 5000 years ago. I'll be bald sooner rather than later. I think anyone that abuses any animal is a scumbag. I hate PETA almost as much as the National Youth Rights Association. I protest every day, but I've never picketed once. Extremism is not only the fastest path to dissension, but disharmony as well.
I've listened to Cat Stevens' "The Wind" over a 100 times in a row... on two occasions.
I heat up my LemonHeads for 10-15 seconds before I eat them .
It's not enough to mean it. You have to know what it means.
Understanding that there are two motivating forces used in society; fear and salvation. Watch out for those that utilize both, at the same time.
I often don't make sense and am not afraid to admit it.
My most prized possessions are not tangible objects, they're my words.
I plan to write an entire novel on this single page.

I'd like to meet:

A hard-headed woman and a lot of scientists to ask them some questions.
I'm literally waiting out every 20+ year-old female on the planet.

Music:

...

Movies:

Do yourself a damn favor and watch "The Private Life of Plants" with David Attenborough. You know how people watch something and say: "Boy, really makes ya think"? Well, those people probably saw this. You can watch the whole series free on a site called "Veoh", where you have to download some crap. It's well worth it though. You can watch it without downloading on Tv-links. Enjoy... It's long so pace yourself.

Television:


Try not to cry...

Books:

-Boorstin.
-The Encyclopedia of Everything.
-History shouldn't be called history, it should be called knowledge.
-I would like to write them more than read them.

Heroes:

I admire more people than most, I think. I'm not afraid to tell someone I know, or have just met an hour prior, what I think of them. Mainly if it's positive anyway. If someone has been making me laugh all night long I'll let them know they've been doing so, just in case they haven't noticed. If they say something inspiring or provocative I'll be sure to let them know I'm thinking about it. If I observe someone doing something considerate or thoughtful for someone else I try to let 'em know it wasn't done in vain. I would'nt say I have heroes as much as I... (I have no idea why this got cut off, but it did, and I dont remember what I was trying to say, so rather than try and recapture the moment, I'll just leave this instead)
Let's just say without reverence there wouldn't be irreverence.

A Gore-y Story

I recently read an article in Time called "The Last Temptation of Al Gore." Regardless of subject matter, I can say without bias that it really wasn't written all that well. The truth is, it was one-s...
