About Me


I LIKE: Encyclopedias, DVD's on human evolution, commenting on people's blogs that have no idea who I am, wash cloths, nachos, cold pillows, BBC, accents, camp fire, trying to spot the first wild animal on a camping trip, indiewood movies, the internet, Kobe, quotes, showering, Sushi, Blue Moon, biology, alternative fueled cars, history, philosophy, the continental tradition, people with large vocabularies, existentialism, monkeys (they crack me up), apes, space, people who aren't afraid to be who they are, people who don't see the world in black and white...

I DON'T LIKE: waking up, going to sleep, locking doors, using a parking brake, Ann Coulter, meaningless labor, imperialism, wal-mart, McDonalds (except for breakfast), people who say "I like college basketball better than the NBA because it is more fundamental," getting hair cuts, Hip Hop, excessive use of slang, spell checking, close minded people, kitch, people that say "nucular"...

My Interests

What I love about fiction and literature is the way that a story has the unique ability to reveal something about our existence that could not otherwise be revealed.  My thoughts on Christianity were ...
