About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out how to make people know

ABOUT ME

I find it important to be able to put things into words. I need to finish things. I sometimes fall victim to thinking something is so obvious it doesn't need mention. I despise indifference. I like to talk. I like to be silent. .... I like to talk. I consider dialectic dialogue the first premise of progress.

PHILOSOPHY

I am convinced there are great things to believe in. I am also convinced organized religion is not in the position to provide them.
Just because someone can't deal with a situation doesn't mean the situation's the problem.
If you're gonna talk the talk, put your money where your mouth is.

Interests

Having grown up in a po-dunk hick town with few people to relate to I've always been in need of means to import content that wasn't available in my immediate environment. thus books, movies, and music have always played a prominent and vital role in my life.
love food......gotta love food.....the outdoors.....I really dig people that are In to things. hardCore. whatever it is. consequently I have a hard time concealing contempt towards people that just never seem to know what the Fuck they WANT!
