Meaning of Life:
There is none. Life is utterly meaningless and is malignantly useless. Life is suffering and consciousness is its curse. Non-existence is the prefered state of being. The reasoning is the following.
Existence:
-Pleasure: Yes, desirable
-Pain: Yes, undesirable
Non-existence:
-Pleasure: No, neutral
-Pain: No, desirable
Five Things I Can't Live Without:
Wifi, beer, books, stimulants and music

What I Like To Do For Fun:
Reading, playing Space Engine, listening to music, drinking beer and watching camgirls (duh!)
Favorite Movies:
I'll fill this one up later.
Craziest Thing I've Ever Done:
Never done anything crazy, really. I'm a quiet man. I have done salvia 30x a few times though. I'd say salvia trips are pretty insane.
If I Could Be Anywhere Right Now:
I don't know. Tokyo maybe.
Hobbies:
Dwelling in existential angst, reading, listening to music, drinking beer, studying Marxist-Leninist theory
Talents:
None
Perfect Mate:
I guess I'd want her to be attractive and well read.
Perfect Date:
I don't know...
Turn Ons/Offs:
Turn ons: Dominance, knowlege, intelligence, kindness, compassion, empathy, bicurious and bisexual women, women with cat ears (especially Asian women).
Turn offs: Stupidity, lack of compassion, lack of empathy, ignorance, narcissism, cruelty
Best Reason to Get to Know Me:
I don't know, honestly. Either people praise my character or they find me unlikeable. The latter is more common than the former, though.
