About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I've slept on a few benches while traveling in Europe and, if I had to weigh the two, hanging out with people is better than being a bum (by a long shot)

ABOUT ME

I have fits of both insanity (the good sort of insanity)and relaxation. I'm an outdoors guy, but its also nice to just mellow out. Talk to me about politics or religion and I'll debate with you, and I hate that those are such touchy subjects for many people. Other than that, just ask.

PHILOSOPHY

"I believe that people aren't searching for the meaning of life, but for the experience of being alive." - Joe Campbell

Interests

History, people, sports (especially whitewater kayaking and rock climbing), politics, architecture and engineering (sounds nerdy), nature, mythology, and so, so, so much more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, Clerks, Trainspotting, American History X, Super Troopers, Old School, much more, just ask.
Music: ska, punk/pop-punk, rock, alternative, techno.
Books:On the Road by Jack Kerouac, The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell, Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, The History of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell, history books in general and anything that makes me think.
