About Me

I am a highly volitile brew, a Molotov Cocktail of opinions, ideas, and plans which are often mistaken and mislead, but never spurious or unexamined. My ideals are underpinned by a fierce belief that communication could fix most ills but I am saddened by the fact that communication seems to be the hardest of all human endeavors. I am almost perpetually depressed and cynical, but my darkenss is punctuated by moments of optimism and idealism and energy. I'm a nature lover, interested in science, logic, beauty, art, darkness, adbusting and culturejamming, screwing social conventions, upholding the individual, and ignoring the masses.

People with whom I have something in common -- I am not interested in guys who just troll around looking for hot chicks to add to their network. If you have more than 5 skinny blonde friends who are wearing bikinis in their user icons, please pass me by; I'm probaby not your type. Trust me on this.
