About Me

A second assumption underlying the equation is the idea that technological civilizations each represent a single potential source of radio transmissions. In other words, it is assumed that each civilization is sedentary, remaining on its home planet, or at least within the system of its home star. This may not be the case. Even from the pessimistic calculations above, there would be about 4,000,000,000 planets suitable for life in the Galaxy, ample incentive for a technologically advanced species to investigate actual travel between the stars.Interstellar travel is certainly a theoretical possibility. For species that evolve in denser regions of the Galaxy than ours, it might even be quite practical, since the stars in such a region would be much nearer to one another. This is an important consideration for the Drake Equation, since each new star system colonised represents another potential radio signal. Several civilizations expanding like this over a period of millions of years might increase the number of signals exponentially. Is this a realistic possibility, or just hopeful speculation? There is simply no way of knowing.

My Interests

Penis push ups, breaking stuff, fixing things, building shit, fire (the kind you start from throwing rubbing alcohol on a friend's stove or burying spray cans in a campfire), burnt rubber (not condoms; car tires), movies that require a brain, gettin souped for Halloween, riding little kids' bicycles, pooping back and forth forever and ever, and sometimes cars.

I'd like to meet:

No one will ever know anyone. You're not ever gonna know me...Figure it out. Deal with it.

Music:

Alexisonfire, Avail, Bear vs. Shark, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Counting Crows, Cursive, Dead Milkmen, Explosions in the Sky, Face to Face, From Autumn to Ashes, Hopesfall, Lifetime, Luckystar, Lymbyc Systym, Minor Threat, Missing 23rd, Mogwai, Tom Petty, The Police, Postal Service, Radiohead, Ramones, Rancid, Rolling Stones, Screeching Weasel, Shai Hulud, Sicko, Paul Simon, Smashing Pumpkins, SNFU, Social Distortion, Spirit of Youth, Step Ahead, Stretch Armstrong, Turning Point, U2, Under Oath, Under the Red, Vision, Weezer.

Movies:

If the house was burning, I'd grab Gattaca, Stand By Me, Raising Arizona, Ravenous, Scent of a Woman, Trainspotting, The Machinist, American Graffitti, Fight Club, The Graduate, Rules of Attraction, Better Off Dead, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Jacob's Ladder, and Freddy Got Fingered.

Television:

"The day is through the lights are off and I'm alone again, electrons comfort me, television is my only friend, there was a time that I swore, this would never, happen to me" Good Riddance.

Books:

"Patrick Bateman was a notoriously unreliable narrator, and if you actually read the book you could come away doubting that these crimes had even occurred. There were large hints that they existed only in Bateman's mind. The murders and torture were in fact fantasies fueled by his rage and fury about how life in America was structured and how this had-no matter the size of his wealth-trapped him."

Heroes:

For us to live any other way was nuts. To us, those goody-good people who worked shitty jobs for bum paychecks and took the subway to work every day, and worried about their bills, were dead. I mean they were suckers. They had no balls. If we wanted something we just took it. If anyone complained twice they got hit so bad, believe me, they never complained again.

Trust me, I am not a scientologist.

For as long as I can remember, I have questioned the idea of whether or not god exists. Note I use the lower case version of god for I do not consider it a proper noun like Billings, Montana or Honda,...
