Robert's Blurbs |
About me:
Id like to think I resemble a somewhat beefier young
Ernest Hemingway, or at least what he'd be like if he grew
up on a diet of 70's southern suburbia and early 90's
Austin-style grunge bohemia.
A native Texican, a socially apt geek, a philosopher, a
BOFH, a poet, a man of principles, a marksman, a gourmet,
a bon vivant, a lifelong student of history and ideology,
a rabid bibliophile, a student of classical languages and
an everflowing fountain of useless information.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
In general, I'd like to meet people who can enjoy themselves without
pretense and who can at least make a passable attempt at
sanity while still knowing how to have fun.
