Okay. Here's the new, improved biography/myspace page. Lubed and ribbed for her pleasure. Now with even more cleansing action!
Who am I:
That's a question I suppose I've been asking myself for a long time now and still haven't figured out. On the surface, I'm your average 30-something slacker who still isn't quite sure what he wants to do with his life, is increasingly scared at the prospect of living said life, and feels like the sands of time are falling at an exponential rate. Feeling an existential crisis brewing. Nipping at my heels like a rabid chihuahua.
What am I:
Human?
Where am I:
I live in a small town in southwest Missouri called Mount Vernon, on I-44 in between Springfield and Joplin.
Why am I:
Because my parents liked each other?
How am I:
Magic Eight Ball says, "Avoiding things."
If you'd like to read a more in depth "biography" of me you could read this here for more kung-fu action. I warn you though, it's excessively long and maddeningly boring (it's my old profile).
Who I'd like to meet:
Steve Jobs, Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, Jello Biafra, Mike Patton, Bill Joy, Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Steve Wozniak, Kirk Johnson, Kenneth Pinyan, Carolyne Belzile. :D
