CURRENT MISSION

Pay it forward. Sometimes backwards, and if I've been drinking, sometimes even left. But not right. Never right.

ABOUT ME

Pacifist, overtly nice guy, love a good story, listen to all kinds of music, always want to hear a good joke, love buying the first round, never turn down a beer, I'll argue about anything with anybody, <3 learning, sort of a hippie, comedy-obsessed, commonly forget to include things in personal descriptions

PHILOSOPHY

You can't know where the middle of the road is until you've lived on the far sides, there are no bad words, live short and prosper, go to heaven for the climate, hell for the company, never let my schooling interfere with my education.

I see, said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw; to thine own self be true.

Teach, Learn, Share

Science is my life! I study geology (previously philosophy, sociology, and evolutionary biology) and have spent way too many hours in labs. I'll talk about anything with anybody at all. For reals.
