BioMy sole desire is to be happy; if you are close to me, I thus, from your proximity, wish happiness upon you as well.
I enjoy trading ideas, but much as two individuals trade poetry. If you hope your conceptual poem will somehow consume me, and I will convert to some ideology or idea, you are probably wasting your time. I don't know all the answers, but I'm glad I can reach a place where questions no longer need to be asked. However, coming out of that place and trading thoughts is fun, and I love talking about and continuing the search for truth and that wonderful sensation of understanding. So, if you have any deep, soul-searching, or truth-searching thoughts, feel free to hand them over for my inspection and delight.
I also like being social and stupid. "Dude" and "dank" are perhaps two of the greatest words in the English language. Also "trippin' balls" is a good phrase. Peppering "like" and "you know" within your spoken sentences helps fill the natural pauses that can make conversation or conveying a point awkward. The word "shit" should be added to the end of any list of objects of ideas ( . . . and shit.) "Ass" intensifies any adjective. (Crazy ass shit, man!) Speaking in such a vernacular sucks the pretentiousness out of a liberal arts major and more than adequately feigns the modesty needed to socially get ahead.
I love my friends, family, and any girl I choose to be with. I wish to make a living writing and, hopefully, becoming a professor of Creative Writing. Right now I'm Oberlin Class of '09. Hell yeah! Take it easy.
