brief
i'm a highschool student from new england

points of view
being an anarcho-socialist and nihilist i tend to disagree with many motives and reasons behind the impetus for most events. however i do feel that such a mindset doesn't necessarily disqualify me from society and instead just deal with the situation as is. although there is no ultimate goal of all life, the majority of it aims to maintain itself. therefore why should i so anything like the salt lake city punks do? why should i rebel against the system if the system does me no wrong? i could care less about the suffering of others unless it somehow affects me. i hold doors for people, i have friends and do activities and all the stuffs of a typical participant because i feel that treating others well is an essential task if you yourself do not want to me mistreated. example: if you wish to murder someone because somehow that person is preventing you from living comfortably the possible repercussions of that action and other's reactions to it must be considered. hold doors for the ladies because it might increase the chance of you getting laid; clean up after yourself because if you do your living condition will be improved from that action and subsequent action of others might further improve it. i feel that being a nihilist or an anarchist has no bearing on your ability to participate in society and, despite the fact that i disagree with how the society is being run, it is an adequate substitute that likely cannot be changed in the immediate term.

my contributions to society
the canonical/ubuntu linux project is of great interest to me and i fully support the use of open source software projects. the linux foundation as a whole is a great organization and it conveniently meshes with my personal distaste of overly capitalist and non-communal efforts, especially apple and microsoft's cooperate nature. i use linux os's exclusively and intend to switch to jaunty jackalope upon it's release in april, 2009

interests
i take great interest in sailing, particularly of small 2 person boats. it is an exhilarating and active sport and i leap at any opportunity to do so. i also love the games of football and rugby, both of which are fast paced, fun and high impact.

artistic tendencies
despite my normal disinclination towards art i'm an avid photographer and take great pride in my ability to capture some of the subtler nuiances of our world. be it the grime and dirt of urbanization of the sun shining on a calm water.
