About Me



"The only way to atone for being occasionally a little over-dressed is by being always absolutely over-educated."

Last of the Southern Aristocracy, and currently educated to the point where I am over qualified out of most jobs. Addicted to learning about everything and then talking about it. Other than that I'm just this guy you know?

"God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time."
- Good Omens, Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman

My Interests

"I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." - Umberto Eco

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that can stimulate my mind, really I just crave thought provoking and intellectual conversation at times, why I look for it on the internet or myspace, I don't know, but I guess I hold out for the outstandingly unique to pop into my life from every direction. If I can't have the sharpness and smartness of minds meeting, then I can always settle for physical and sartorial splendor to stare at whilst pining for deep thoughts.

I have what I want in my family.

"If I ever feel it's been too long since you said I love you, then it has been, so I say it again."

Serendiptiy - Noun The effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.
