About Me

"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

My Interests

The minute details of marine biology, looking ahead, keeping shit clean looking, architecture, Scrabble, sloshball, NBA, Wayne Thiebaud, loving respect, graffiti art, public transportation, airport security, forensics, engineering, tidepools, whiskey, deuces, underwater landscape architecture, fluid dynamics, crowd behavior, being patient, finding good restaurants, getting by.

I'd like to meet:

Picture of scantily clad female celebrity. Proposition to offer body part in exchange for sexual intercourse with said female. Nobel Peace Prize winner. Old ass Greek Philosopher-King. Darwin. More unnecessary videos of people getting hit by moving vehicles.

Music:

Pretty much everything, except Hungarian Trance Orchestral compositions.

Movies:

What the hell, I'll be honest: Some good old fashioned pornography.

Television:

The Hills. Oh me, oh my, I hate myself so much for loving this show, but love it I do.

Books:

Marine biology geek books.

Heroes:

Jon Stewart.

RIP little buddy....

My little octopus died last night. He lived a total of 5 months in my tank, and was 2 months old when I got him. They only live a year in the wild, and I'd been feeding him a lot and keeping him at ...
