    The Problem is Choice's Interests
GeneralI love it when someone goes "huh?". That's just neat, especially when you can make them do it. Not "huh" in a bad way, but you just make them think a little. Not that I do that. I don't think. Promise.

The usual: art, photography, music, and reading. I also have an addiction to oxygen and Guinness.

   The Problem is Choice's Blurbs
About me:
Carbon-based in this dimension, yet in-tune with the other myriad levels of existence through the focus of vibrational frequencies that resonate around us.

Ok, I am not even sure what that meant.
...
I tend to be a very strange "pattern recognition filter"...meaning I notice very small things...even the things that one may gloss over. I have always been this way. Perhaps too much Richard Blade when I was a kid. The best approximation that I can come up with would be that guy from Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Not the hunky one that gets all the ladies and tends to be a fool, otherwise. Nope. The other one...Vincent D'Onofrio's character.
Who I'd like to meet:
Life is a joke. Not a bad joke, mind you, but just a joke. It's humor as well as offensive and utterly neutral in it's telling. It can bring joy as well as violate your sensibilities.

It's the meaning we perceive and intend in that joke that gives us our life. So, that means pretty much no one. Uh. I guess. If you'd like to chat, I'm on AIM @ existentialhope. I enjoy a GOOD conversation. :)

Hey can't text much ... over my number for the month.

I will try to do HH with you some time ... I have a crazy busy month so meeting up for coffee in the morning might be more realistic. Or if you get that bike, maybe a Sunday bike ride.
