I am a passionate Political Science student at the University of Kansas, set to graduate in December of 2011. I also own a computer repair business. I love both technology and politics that deal with making life better for humanity.

I have recently embarked on the path of beginning to learn, use, and educate others about open source software. In essence, Linux based programs are like Wikipedia in that they are community based, free, extensive, accessible to everyone, and are just down right awesome.

I believe that good is stronger than evil, because if it were not, then Man would cease to exist. I believe that good dominates the aspects of life that truly make it worth living, because if it didn't, then global population would not continue to increase at current rates.

I think the thing that brings the absolute most joy to me is just the company of others, even if we do not see eye to eye on everything. I like to impress people and make people smile and laugh. I enjoy when I am in class and make a comment that gets the entire class and teacher rolling with laughter, even though what I said was not really intended to be funny. I guess I like laughing at myself, because, in retrospect, what I said is pretty funny. I could give you a few examples if you care to ask.

I love admiring all of creation. I find it absolutely mesmerizing the way in which everything in this world exists and interacts with each other. I particularly enjoy watching animals and insects when I see them and wondering what they are thinking, if anything at all. Then running down the list in all the ways in which we are all so alike but oh so very different. Why does my species dominate this world? Is it right?

The thought and effort and blend of sheer beauty and functionalism in architecture is a topic which often occupies my mind. I am not an artist though, but I do love it. Art is something that cannot be taken away from us. Thought itself is an art. Oh, so maybe I am an artist :)

Then there is nature. What else is there to say, without it everything would cease to be. Aside from the sustenance of life it so magnanimously provides, it is also nearly as beautiful as the form of a woman's body. It is beautiful in both its looks as well as its actions. The sublime of nature does not have feelings, it is simply a product of forces comprised of inanimate elements. Then again, so are we.

These are the things I think about in my free time. When I am not busy thinking, I enjoy watching a few TV shows, such as Breaking Bad, True Blood, the Science Channel, and about 5 minutes of CNN in the morning. I will read books sometimes in my free time, but the book must really grab my attention very rapidly. I do immediately pull out my phone most of the time when I encounter a word or subject which I do not know. That is what has lead me here.
