About me: I am a 31 year old freelance speaker and writer living in Marietta, GA. My greatest passion is Philosophy. I read Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" at the age of 18 and my life has never been the same since.I often post philosophical essays in my blog on this page. However, older essays can be found here. I am also interested in many other subjects including politics, economics, history, literature, psychology, and even the physical sciences. When I am not reading, writing, or studying, I enjoy listening to Alternative Electronic Music, watching Anime, and playing Magic: The Gathering. On the second Friday of every month, there's nothing I love more than to go dancing at Electrohurtz. In addition to all of this, I also work full time as a waiter.
Who I'd like to meet: I would like to meet many different kinds of people. Most of all, I would like to meet people who think for themselves and who do not passively accept the world they have been given. It also helps if you can at least tolerate industrial music ;). Send me a message if you think I sound interesting.
Note: I am pimpin' my new chapbook, Marquee (released a couple days ago). If interested go to Marquee Ready for Release (makes sense) in my blog and read/click the link. Heck, go to my blog anyway.
"If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater the effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders--what would you tell him to do?"
It's cool. You wouldn't have wanted to talked to me in the last few weeks anyway. I think I'm getting a little back to normal now, at least over the phone.
Thanks for the video. Just saw it at friends' house my computer got hit by lightening. :( Give me a call sometime. Sorry about that corny line I said last time we talked I was still on morphine. haha
