Knowledge is what it's all about. The more you know, the deeper your connection. I'm lost somewhere between the limitless dreams of worlds like Robert Jordan's and the inner complexities brought to light by Ayn Rand. As the closest ideal of a perfect balance, I'll stick with Robin Hobb, my personal favorite author. As enjoyable as everything is, the assimilation of the experiences of others and my own discoveries in life never seem enough to fulfill. Where else do we go?
I'm fascinated by culture, both in its artistic incarnations and the more innate aspects of socialization and definition of spirit. Endless facets of the mind to ponder for a lifetime, and too much amazing music and artistic creation all around distracting me from focused thoughts.
My mottos... Don't make my job harder, never place faith above reason, and live for yourself. They're not always as easy to live by as they are to preach, but damned if I don't try.
Hm... I'll write more later.
I want a girl whom'll treat me bad and do wild stuff to my hair! Also... People who enjoy screaming at the walls of society, and.... I told you! PIZZA THE HUT! Baring sushi! That would simply own (whatever that's meant to imply). Unless his grease got all up in my hamachi. Man, I'd whoop that fool's ass!
I love music. I effin' LOVE it!!! I listen to it in the car, I listen at work, I listen when I'm supposedly listening to something more important. If I can't listen to anything, I'll hum myself a freakin' tune! RIP to the Pound. WTF, anyway? I'm a fanatic for all my obsessions listed here...

Currently.. I'm reading Solder Son by Robin Hobb. Extreme savagery. I'll not give too much of the plot away, but... it contains both descriptions of things and the use of pronouns. I trust you only thirst for more.
Miyamoto Musashi and Hank Rearden. Savages!
