I like outsmarting people at the poker table. Especially the high stakes kind. I like taking things apart and trying to figure out how to put them back together. I like the bone-deep loneliness I feel when I put on a jazz record, slip on the headphones, and disappear for an hour or two.

About me: Oh, man. Ever wish you could destroy something just by looking at it? Like you had laser-destructo-eyes and the power of your hatred or distaste could disintegrate stupid things? I would put that power to such good use.
