About Me

Well...let's see...I'm currently neck-deep in my third year of earning of Ph.D. in Immunology at The Ohio State Univeristy. For anyone who is actually interested in the science behind the research, I will gladly explain it to you. Just ask.Aside from research? I try to have fun doing your standard grad-student activities. While I enjoy going out for drinks, I prefer going out and chilling over a beer instead of going out to a club. I enjoy reading, debating (about non-important things), playing sports and teaching. God has blessed me with a life that I do not fully deserve. Heavenly clerical error in my favor? Maybe someday they'll correct for their error and even the score...

My Interests

Science.

I'd like to meet:

Platonically? Anybody -- intelligence is a plus. I try to be open-minded about a lot of things, so in return I ask that others would extend to me the same courtesy. Romantically? I know enough to know that I don't know.

Music:

Anything that has good musicality. Sometimes rap, good balance of a capella, a dash of country, maybe classical, an oldie here and there, a fair mix of rock, a hint of techno, and add a pinch of gospel to it all and you've got my playlist...

Television:

House M.D., Arrested Development, Cheap Seats, Law and Order, Code Monkeys, Heroes, Family Guy, Futurama

Books:

Good ones.

Heroes:

I admire those who do things which I cannot.

My Blog

In the absence of something we cling to nothing.

If you hate rambling blogs, just skip this. This is all it is. It goes nowhere and offers no insight -- just like your mom! (oh! burn!) So here I sit at 2am -- consumed by a single c...

Autobots, transform and roll out!

I wish I could be a Transformer when I grow up; this point was driven even more home after seeing the new Transformers movie for the second time last Friday. (I'll probably end up seeing it again...it...

I got the chills

So Monday I was at the mall with Heather walking towards the escalators when I hear a couple girls (maybe late teens) conversing nearby..."I got the chills.""What?""I got the chills.""Like the Hot Guy...

Come on Johnny, mobile infantry and fleet don't mix...

Yesterday (Saturday) was a good day. But it was also very physically tiring (jogging, weightlifting and tennis will do that to you), so when the evening rolled around I was understandably in the mood ...

Year 2 in review

Last Friday we had new student orientation for my graduate program. Ah...fresh meat throwing itself into the graduate-grinder. One of the odd things about that day was I went around and had to introdu...

iThought

So I love thinking. Basically, it's what I do as a researcher/scientist. However, I often find myself on random tangental lines of thought. Sometimes these thoughts take the form of letters, poems, ly...

I had a birthday and all I have to show for it is this lousy T-shirt...

For those of you who know me, I had a birthday this past week. However, this is hardly stop-the-presses material. It was my 24th birthday -- seriously, there isn't much special about that year.Year:&n...

Memorial Day memories that I'd rather forget

So this weekend wasn't bad per se. Mild stressors, but also some good times. Basically your run-of-the-mill holiday weekend. However, the associations of this weekend that I rather ...

Intimacy in transition

Alright, while I am often compelled to talk in broad sweep generalizations as a literary trick to try to make individual-based ideas more applicable (and more important) to others, I am going to limit...
