Introduction I was a political junkie and history buff since the age of 12. I started as a socialist, then became a conservative, then a nonconsequentialist free marketeer, and since then a consequentialist free marketeer. I consider myself socially liberal and willing to try new things, frequently suffering from FOMO (Fear or Missing Out). Consequently, I err on the side of trying things versus regretting things I haven't tried. Religiously, I'm an recovering from Roman Catholicism, but I have always found that liberals proselytize him more than religious folks. For fun, I seek Epicurean delights through ethnic dining, and cheating death by constantly working out. I am frequently annoyed by unacknowledged double standards and indirect communication. Everyone has some feature that surprises everyone. Me - I like death metal, though I mostly keep my music at the gym.
Interests Scintillating conversation, ethnic dining, traveling, skiing, scuba diving, weight lifting, and swing dancing
Favorite Music Metallica, Ministry, At the Gates, Iron Maiden, Opeth, Rush, Tool, and Ludwig van Beethoven.
