About Me

i like stuff. i like thinking. i like thinking about stuff. and how it works, and what it does. and what emotions it evokes. and how it can be better. and how it can be worse. and how its quantum mechanical wave functions interact with our own. and how trivial all this really is. i like to do stuff. make stuff. paint stuff. take pictures of stuff. design stuff. cook stuff. look at stuff...you know, normal things.

i hate pretentiousness. i hate people who take themselves too seriously. i hate people who think they are cool, and that i'm not cool, and waste time convincing people of that fact. i hate people who think that what they do, what they know, is the most important thing in the world. i hate ignorance. i hate the intensely political and the incredibly religious. and i hate carni's.

My Interests

music, macs, cars, girls, cooking, eating, sleeping, design, photography, technology

I'd like to meet:

people who like the things i like, and people who aren't the things i hate.
i like people who aren't embarrassed to be seen with me.

i like openmindedness, and witty comebacks that incorporate popular culture.

i like people with technical knowledge, but downplay how much they really know.

i like people who know what they want, but can't neccessarily describe what they want.

i like people who ask me questions, especially if i'm talking to you, and everything i say goes right over your head. i have a tendency to do that. and i love people who will answer my questions, because i don't know everything, although sometimes, i feel like i should.

i don't like people who ask questions out of sheer laziness, because they don't feel like thinking.

i don't like picky eaters either. or people who can't find the beauty in a nice CNC'd piece of 6061 billet aluminum, or a molecule.

this makes no sense, does it? yep, that's me.

Music:

The Smiths, Saint Etienne, Burt Bacharach, The Zombies, S Club 7/S Club, other groups that people list on here so it seems like they are 'cool' and 'hip' and 'with-it'.

Movies:

Real Genius, Transformers: The Movie, Seeing Double,

Television:

Reality TV shows with hot chicks, The Simpsons, Sealab 2021, Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Simple Life, Robot Chicken, Kath & Kim

Books:

Microserfs, books on TV/VCR repair, physics text books...come on, i don't read. i just know stuff. i don't know where it comes from. i think my brain is an antenna for information from a distant galaxy.

Heroes:

Spider-Man, my dad
