All the water in the world can't sink a boat

About Me

'Allo 'Allo 'Allo. I'm one of those odd people who's interested in everything. I've always had a love of music, art, literature, nature, and the sciences, but I've acquired a new interst in linguistics and developmental psychology, and I would love to study cognitive science and artifical intelligence. I try to be simple in spite of my many interests, but I might just make my own robot army. Mwahahahaha! Just don't send the clones after us... you never know what'll happen.
After years of playing Final Fantasy, I had an epiphany regarding the value of practicing my instruments, but I've already started to forget the two first instruments... ::goes off to find oboe music:: Several of my friends and family members call me "hippie." I have a terrible sense of balance -- especially bad when I did to judo... but being on the bottom has its advantages :D . I don't make New Year's resolutions because I don't see the point since I'm constantly bettering myself. I love hearing about where people are from, so get ready to be asked. Ask my friends: I'm a nice guy by nearly every standard; I just "make [my] own kind of music, sing [my] own special song."
"I've always wanted to be somebody, but I see now I should have been more specific." -- Lily Tomlin
"I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up." -- Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad
