I once read a lot about Zen Buddhism. Now, I'm reading nerdy psychology books.
About me: A flying saucer creature named Zog arrived on Earth to explain how wars could be prevented and how cancer could be cured. He brought the information from Margo, a planet where the natives conversed by means of farts and tap dancing.
Zog landed at night in Connectitut. He had no sooner touched down than he saw a house on fire. He rushed into the house, farting and tap dancing, warning the people about the terrible danger they were in. The head of the house brained Zog with a golf club.

I am currently a Case Manager for Indy Adult & Child. I work with kids. The crazy kids like me because I'm crazy, too. The normal kids just think I'm weird. Fortunately, not many of them are normal, so all types of craziness ensues.
I'm married to a very beautiful and compassionate woman named Laura. She rules. Much moreso than I.
I play music a lot. At this time, I play in a band called Slow Motion Enslavement. We sound like Black Flag and The Melvins on speed. It's pretty sweet.
I like to cook and eat vegan food, and I have been vegan for over 12 years now. That's a long ass time between Reece's Cups.
I know all of the lines to Spaceballs.
I prefer kindness to ego. Compassion over self-interest. Art for arts sake. I am also a die-hard Cubs fan. I'm fucked.
I used to have a "real" blog chock-full of all sorts of incoherent ramblings that can be found at http://ianphillips.wordpress.com, but then I got busy with other shit.
