About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet people with their minds wide open, so my mind will be affected as well.

ABOUT ME

Composed purist with semi-scientific views grounded in personal observations.

PHILOSOPHY

I think about things many have thought of before. I reach preliminary conclusions, forget how I got to them, but still hold on to them. I change my views, sometimes just slightly, when getting new insight - which hopefully happens daily. I'm not sure I'll ever reach a final conclusion. Does that make me a periodic purist?

I like words, and I like using them to create meaningful sentences, conveyed to an audience. That audience is currently you, reading this with a perception. Stop. BRAKES!

Interests

Too many to list those that are too small to matter. Now 'grammar' comes to mind. ¡Help me! :-)

  • reading
  • socializing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to most music, but it does not compare to making (I would put the word 'love' here, for no other reason than I think it would be hilarious, mostly to me, and furthermore that it is totally irrelevant to the context - but I almost didn't) music. If me dancing could create great music to listen to, I would be able to reach the pinnacle of musical bliss.

I've loved many movies and series. Currently I'm in love with Breaking Bad - mostly because of its close relationship with what I believe to be realism. I'm almost ready to pay another month of a previously cancelled Netflix subscription, just to watch the final season.
Oh, and I don't subscribe to cable television. TV generally makes me.. crude. Does it make you crude?

My most recent reads are books from the "A Very Short Introduction" series. I haven't read fiction for a long time. I'm sure there are lots of things to rediscover in books, but for some reason I don't seek doing so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For some reason I'm currently not sure of, I can only think of things -others- would think of as amazing. I don't think like this - I also don't have a favourite meal or favourite colour. I can find no good reason why I would generally prefer one colour over another, except maybe by relating the wavelength of a certain colour, to a number that has a (funny) meaning to me.
