I am a sophist, a poet, a dreamer. I think deep, and think often. Most of the time I get so caught up in some idea that I forget to eat or sleep... am I sleeping now?

I also enjoy outdoor activities like rock climbing, cliff diving, hiking, and camping.

When I'm not doing either, i'm just kicking back with a good book, or a good movie. In fact, most of my leisure time is spent watching movies.

I'm into Poetry, Philosophy, Literature, Art, people who deviate from the norm, women who deviate from barbie, muscle cars.

Who I'd like to meet:


PHILOSOPHER FOR HIRE!!!


So I've decided to Pimp myself out. Thats right. No joke. I'm pimping myself out. Do you want to go out to dinner, but don't want to go out alone, and don't want to dine with some terribly boring individual? Do you want to throw a dinner party, but don't want everyone to be incredibly bored with small-talk about the weather? Are you confused about life, what it means, where its going, where its taking you, and whether or not you have a worth living? Do you want to have an engaging discussion about Poetry? Literature? Philosophy? World Events? Politics? Religion? Life? Dating? Romance? If you're in the Knoxville area (but not limited to that geographic locale), you can reach me here through myspace - prices subject to an arbitrary scale of comfort and discomfort relative to desires and motivations as it pertains to my feelings about you, personally and impersonally - then again, this may be a facetious advertisement, due to insomnia, boredom, and too much caffiene.

You know there is no need to be rude.Just because the Evidence contradicts your Dogmatic view of the Government and how they can do no wrong does not make it False or a Conspiracy Theory.Nothing I posted was a Conspiracy.Dont like it? Sorry I wasted your time and mine because you are refuse to see that which is painfully obvious to all.I guess we must agree to disagree then Chum, -The Master

The Newsletters I recieve have links that you can click on to view the Source of all the news bites. From the New York times to the Guardian in the UK, so they are very legit, now if you dont like it because it contradicts your personal views that's one thing.You know either way I respect your views, but dont claim something is "False" just because it takes you out of your comfort Zone.Have a great day brother,

*I would never go as far as to suggest denying anyone the right to assembly.

*I think what your friend and I mutually resent is the tribal mentality; how ppl define themselves via constituency group rather than assert their own individuality. However, I've got nothing against couples publicly making out as long as it's not a way of saying "Hey everybody! Look how provocative we are!"

*America has an unfortunate history of melodramatic spectacles coinciding with social change. That's not exclusive to gay rights at all.

*Being 'held hostage' is quite a hyperbolic way to put it but there are underlying subtexts of intimidation and over-stimulation going on here that alienates those who would otherwise be sympathetic.

Thanks for hearing me out and have a great weekend.

In response to your homosexuality blog, it's axiomatic that sexual preferences (the predatory types notwithstanding) have no bearing on one's moral character. Homosexuality has a legitimate place in history and even in the activities of other species. But what really annoys me with contemporary gay culture is its members publicly behaving like flamboyant cartoon characters (or much worse) believing it to be a sign of... tribal solidarity than self-righteously condemn those who call them out on it as homophobes. This is what identity politics has degenerated into: associating repulsive/destructive behavior with minorities so you can't condemn the former without condemning the latter.

To me, it's a matter of good taste and common sense rather than moral rectitude or 'fear of the other'.
