About Me

The most important things to me are music and thinking. I like anything having to do with music, writing it, playing it, listening to it, etc. My favorite genres of music are Industrial and Metal and so this is what I play and listen to mostly. Outside of my musical interests, I think obsessively about everything. I have taken a strong interest to the subjects that boundary between art and science such as psychology, sociology, and philosophy. I am a very curious, open minded, and non-judgemental person. People often find me to be intense intellectually, and I often get passionately into interesting discussions. As of late, I have been trying to become better at being a more human person. The person I have been for so many years has always been changing and I have been left with a lot of confusion as to who I really am and how I fit in with everybody else.

Richard Dawkins reflecting Freud.

"The Selfish Gene" blew my mind; though, this is a bit of an overstatement. Stated more realistically, I found it far more compelling that other things I had read lately or have read in general. For t...
