I'm a one (and only one)-time married father of 4. My skin color doesn't match my ethnicity but I learned in grade-school that the content of my character was more important than either so I'll leave that be. I have a few associates degrees but the only degree for which I destroyed my semi-existent social life was Computer Science. When my eldest daughter quipped recently (following a very geeky joke) that I should go to geek school, I responded, "I do. It's called work."

The books I like to read are philosophical, biblical, historical, scientific, and occasionally political. I like gymnastics, acrobatic dancing (I'd call it break-dancing if my skill level were higher), running, planning fun puzzles, solving hard problems, and spending any time with my family. I'm a Hayekian liberal. I believe in the Christian God. I believe that right and wrong exist.

I believe (for now) that their is one Universe and it's less than twenty billion years old. I believe all reasonably proven aspects of evolution. I question authority everywhere and am amazed at the things alleged skeptics simply accept. I like failing when I come out of it stronger than before. If someone asked me to dig a one-hundred-yard trench by dozer or pick, only the latter would excite me. I once worked seven months to plan/execute a treasure-hunt for my children that was Zelda-themed.

As far as martial arts go, I've studied the line (Wing Chun), the circle (Northern Shaolin), and the sphere (Capoeira). My looks, on a scale of "not" to "hot" rate a, "meh." I'm not a fan of Android, iOS, or Windows. The terms, "root" and "sudo" excite me. I enjoy traveling through the forces of nature and fighting the elements. I like looking at the ocean. At one point in my life, I accidentally convinced four people that I knew magic. I think Paul's suggestion to test everything and David's suggestion to taste and see are good advice. I say all scientists are blessed who believe in gravity though they have not seen.

I think that when someone writes a full sentence in Japanese and translates it into English there are rarely less than two ways to translate it correctly. I'm not fluent in Japanese, but if you dropped me in Japan, I wouldn't freak out. The Michael Cretu's Enigma is a musical score to the movie of my mind. I believe all races are equal in principle but accept (humorously) the fact that other skin colors often blow my doors off while running a marathon. I believe when you disagree with someone and call them a name instead of challenging their point, you are new to the game of knowledge.My wife is gorgeous.

I enjoy writing but rarely have time to write. I enjoy reading and I make time to read to my children. I like secrets. I think idiots should be allowed to exist. I don't like the idea of idiots teaching their children, but unless they are teaching them torture or murder, I don't really care. I like things that cause diverse people to unite, and despise things that cause them to divide. I like getting over being wronged, though I understand, it's not always easy.

I like NOT Googling responses to things with which I disagree from websites I frequent. Some things like the sanctity of life and the fact I exist, I must admit, I don't question very often. There are less than twenty things that shred every active worry from my life for any given moment. I've had six nicknames in my life and they all demand explanations. Five percent of the poetry I write is damned moving and the rest is just damned. I know the difference between a paradox and a contradiction, which is like knowing the difference between a Viceroy and a Monarch butterfly. From that you may draw your own one-liner.

On an extremely personal but brutally honest note, alcohol, anti-social behavior, and pornography are three things that I can honestly say fill large amounts of the worst pages of my life. Like all men, I'm interested in sex, but hopefully like most men (doubtful these days), I only seek one woman and only ever have. Notwithstanding a brief period of my life during graduation where my sexuality started to bend I've been, and will continue to be, heterosexual. I learned through experience that an unfullfilled sex life can mess with your sexual interests, no matter what your local psychologist tells you. I thank God I never did drugs or smoked cigarretes. But I do really wish, I'd never had a drink of alcohol. I'm generally a sap when I drink and like to watch sad movies when I drink too much or cozy up to my wife. Yes, the man she married has many flaws. Like most parents, basic eduation and common sense aside, I pray the worst of me doesn't pass to my children. My lovely wife and I sometimes fight, and yes, my children do sometime open their mouths and hold up a mirror.

And lastly, my personality is as likely to fit on this page as it is to fit on a series of bumper stickers.
