About Me

ABOUT ME

"My eyeglasses, covered with a thickening layer of dust that I never seem to notice, and simply adjust to, until, at last, I clean them out of habit, and discover a new world, sharp and full of detail, whose novelty and clarity I forget about completely within fifteen minutes."

-J. Robert Lennon

PHILOSOPHY

"The organism's chronic internal state is a vague mixture of anxiety and desire - best described perhaps by the phrase 'I want," spoken with or without an object for the verb."

-M. Konner

JUST KIDDING I'm not that much of a jerk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
