ABOUT ME

had what in hindsight I realize, the fortune of a quality education after my parents business went bankrupt, which allowed me a complete departure (through trial & error/self discovery) from the dogmas and doctrines I was reared with.

PHILOSOPHY

"you can't give up hope just b/c its hopeless, you need to hope even more and cover your ears and say 'la la la la la la la' as loud as you can"
-Fry (futurama)

"when the power of love overcomes, the love of power the world will know peace."
-Hendrix

besides this I'm a bit of a revolutionary

The development of modern industry...cuts under its feet the very foundation on which the bourgeoisie produces...What the bourgeoisie therefore produces above all are its own gravediggers. Its fall and the victory of proletariat are equally inevitable.--Marx

Interests

hiking, camping, playing guitar, herbalogy, botany,wilderness survival, political thought, conversing with no paticular point or having an elaborate existential argument about the reality of pure reason... & football (both kinds)
