Sage of Heresy

Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain.

About Me

---I'm an intelligent man who likes to travel. But its just not as fun when you're doing it alone. I enjoy reading science fiction, philosophy, history, religious texts and whatever else may catch my eye. I enjoy cycling, shooting pool, gaming and going to the movies. I write some and intend to keep doing it, but I am not yet worthy of the title "Writer". I've got some college under my belt, and would like to continue taking classes for the rest of my life, but will probably never get a degree. I know what I need to know (how to read) to learn what I need/want to learn.
---I am a Welder, which has allowed me to travel the world in search of my fortune. Haven't done any overseas work in a while, I'm currently travelling the US. I spent last year in Nashville (Frakkin Awesome!) and this year I'm in Salisbury, NC (eh). Can't wait to see where next year's fatewind will take me.

Everything that happens is natural. Everything that is, must be.
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see it's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
"Every one of us carries inside a chi, an inner spirit. Once you learn to focus it, there is nothing you cannot bend to your will."
"Upgrade your gray matter, cuz one day it may matter."
"Its a rich man's game, no matter what they call it, and you'll spend your life puttin money in his wallet."
