I love to think. I wish to do this with my life. To think in all faculties, and to produce thought in every facet that I can possibly align myself to. In fact, quite recently--so recently as to say just now, actually--realized that in all the physical trades, philosophical doctrines, and back-ass roads I've traversed, I really just like thinking about it; maybe even above that, displaying the fruits of that thought. I've spend great deals of my time on the most random of things, and found myself enjoying just about every one. Just learning how to do them, doing them, and producing art, or products, or knowledge is... neat. Really neat.

I've learned Actionscript, just because I like thinking about the overly-complicated fashion in which I made the ship spin around on demand. I dabbled in some Ruby just enough to realize I prefer talking to people only slightly more than I do to computers. I build my own computers because it actually allows me to know the ways of what I use so often, it is the same for why I love building bikes, and the same for why I love working on cars, esspecially if it's with my girlfriend that loves doing the same. I even did some jewelry making a while back--to which I'm sure there's a name for--just because I thought they were pretty and I wanted to continue thinking they were pretty. I have such a strong passion for philosophy and the way of its nature simply because it has proven to me that it is so entertaining and enthralling to pursue and to think about, the same for elements of logic.

One of my strongest passions is for graphic design, and how I am able to implement it in my life. Video and sound engineering have found a place there as well, as using After Effects to desgin is so enthraling. Typography makes me smile tons, also, because it works with how people think of things without them even realizing that it is in fact swaying their every notion.

I even want to get into psychology and presently pursue it at my college because it deals with how people think as a base notion, and then sociology because that's practically psychology, but of groups, nations, and the smart masses. Mostly: I love to write. I love displaying all of this thought, and imparting all of these humorous attempts, and oddly awesome things to people who feel the same. It's interesting. Therefore it needs doing.

Last, I wanted to mention the background picture. I took it with my friend, Lucas, as we were on a two week long ro
