"How many hours a day do you spend in front of a television screen? A computer screen? Behind an automobile windscreen? All three screens combined? What are you being screened from? How much of your life comes at you through a screen, vicariously?

Is watching things as exciting as doing things? Do you have enough time to do all the things that you want to? Do you have enough energy to? Why? And how many hours a day do you sleep? How are you affected by standardized time, designed solely to synchronize your movements with those of millions of other people? How long do you ever go without knowing what time it is? Who or what controls your minutes and hours? The minutes and hours that add up to your life? Are you saving time? Saving it up for what?"

Figured I'd start with a quote I enjoyed instead of talking about myself.

To most people's amazement I spent 4 years in the Marines.

What is happening in the name of American foreign policy in the Palestinian territories sickens me.

I have no sense of style and I'm fine with that.

Statistically, I've been to about 10% of the world.

I don't believe in marriage, in fact I'm against it.

I'm a writer and avid reader, and I've currently lost my muse.

I really hate shopping, but I like collecting books.

And I don't buy anything unless I know where it comes from or how it's made. Yes it can be frustrating at times.

I drive a Jeep with no doors.

I like to hear people's stories.

I haven't had a haircut in a long while, but I trim it myself when I feel the need.

I just acquired a taste for wine. Red wine that is. Cabernet Sauvignon to be exact.

I try to avoid big box stores, but you'll never catch me buying anything from Walmart or Starbucks for that matter.

I haven't decided where I want to settle, so every 2 months I go somewhere I haven't. Just did Denver, and the plan is __________ in March and Minneapolis in May. If you know of better places, have advice or live in those cities and would like to show me around, drop me a line.

I guess I haven't met anyone interesting in real life or that can carry an intelligent conversation, so here I am. I'm passionate about the things I do and I have a hard time not finishing things even when the towel should be thrown, some people might call me a radical, this hamster-wheel society isn't enough for me, I'd like to be able to fit everything I own into a backpack and travel the world, I like to philosophize about life, people who believe anything blindly scare me, I'm trying to write a few different books at once but focusing is a problem, probably should just work on one at a time. Here's my my space: my space.com/boozernumber1

I wouldn't call it a date but it's better to just let it happen than plan it. But I'd like to get into a deep conversation and hear your story...
