About Me

I generally don't exist to people. I serve no function to anyone save a 15 minute conversation. However, I am a convenient friend to have for social gatherings. I am narcissistic. directionless.

I am a talented bullshitter. I have no friends, and am not embarrassed by that fact, although I've acquired a large amount of acquaintances. Decisions paralyze me.

My Interests

What schools should be about.

I thought this space would be the best spot to put in print a few of my ideas that could use some feedback in order to evolve.  So I duly apologize ahead of time for the rant below and downright ...
