About Me My Motto: WITHOUT LOVE... NOTHING.

I always chuckle to myself whenever I have to fill out one of these, because as Nietzsche said, "Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself", and concealing myself is the last thing I wish to do. I believe that the most important thing to do in life is to live it, and secondly, not to take yourself so seriously. Unfortunately I struggle with this very thing every day. C'est La Vie.

According to the LONG Personality Test on OKCupid, my personality type is: ENTP (The Inventor). That is the Myers-Briggs abbreviation for: extraversion, intuition, thinking, perception.

I'm all about creative expression, learning new things, studying different cultures, embracing change, enjoying music, strategizing, and having a good time.

Just for the record, I'm a 26 year old Ulster-Scot/Italian Male. My mother was 18 when she had me, so I was adopted and raised by her Ulster-Scot parents in sunny maitland, Florida (a suburb on the north side of Orlando). I love researching the origins of things and knowledge in general.

I am a bit of a home body. I just love hanging out in my crib and writing poetry, reading books, attempting to blow smoke rings, meditating, and other mellow things. But that's another story. I write and play music for a variety of instruments, I paint landscapes and abstract things. My IQ is roughly 143.

I recently have relocated to the Murfreesboro area and am looking to re-establish myself. I've seen a lot of change in the last year, but it's okay, because I believe life's an adventure, its more fun when you stop staring at the map trying to figure out what's beyond the next turn.

I spend a lot of time thinking about:
Politics, science, history, music, physics, philosophy, sociology, linguistics, and to an extent, football.

I love seeking out the origins of things. When was the first ____ invented? Who came up with ____? Who thought up the dogma of ____? Why don't priests marry? What did early man believe?

What makes someone great? What makes someone weak? Is it better to be strong or weak? Why? Why not?

Anyways you wanna know more? Email me or message me.
