No friends to take my picture QQ
I’m a 23-year-old lazy ass. I am of Korean (”South Korean” for the retarded) persuasion, but was born and raised on good old Westernization and American-esque consumerism. I have attended Uni. of IL Chicago (Comp Engineering) and plan to move onto law (presumably patent law with the background). I also plan to renew my CCNA and get a Cisco Wireless Cert. in case I decide I hate law or I fail miserably. As you can tell, choices and logic are my stronger suit than enthusiasm and self-confidence. Self-deprecation is the 90’s thing–what can I say?
Even though I am fairly versed in the technical fields and computers, I not what you would call a technological optimists. I’m skeptical of technology, especially artifacts like the iPod, iPhone, iDildo, etc. I’m skeptical of people too, unfortunately which leads me to have friends I can count on my hand. I suppose this isn’t so bad, though. I’m a skeptic overall, but try to keep very open-minded and generaly detest drama and the ilk. This has lead me to not have the plethora of romantic pursuits to which I can boast, but I figure I need to know who I am before I can know what I want and who I want — a lesson I’ve learned quite a few times. Skeptics aren’t the funnest people to date, though, as I’ve been told. To close the tangent of relationships, to me, I think you should be able to live alone before you can live with others. I cannot stand people who relegate their existence to what others see them as, and cannot live without being in a romantic relationship. That’s simply pathetic to me.
Don’t let my skepticisms fool you to think I’m so insane pro-science or left-wing freak. I’m a moderate by most polarized American standards, but I think I would lean more towards the right for whatever reasons. I question any research done by any scientists and do not take the imperial word of “science” has the end-all be-all Bible 2.0. While I am not as devout as many are, I can appreciate religion for the good it has done along with the bad. I tend to become very displeased with extremists, illogical, and inflexible world views.
Music
I listen to basically everything. I grew up the usual crap like Silver Chair, NIN, Smashing Pumpkins, Bush, Sublime, Offspring, etc all that alternative what-nots. Eventaully, as I went into high school I got into Tool and prog-rock a lot more. As I’ve settled in college and post-college life, I find my tastes limitless from 70’s art rock to indie low-fi to hardcore metal. Essentially, anything catchy or with good craftsmanship gets my attention. A good artists can be of any genre IMO, except perhaps vapid, superficial genres like Crunk Rap or achey-breaky country.
Currently I have over 36,000 MP3s not including CDs I own and vinyls. I’m a bit obsessed, I know.
Movies
I’m also picky on this matter. I can appreciate 80’s classics like Goonies, Bill and Ted, Back to the FUture etc, and can also enjoy artistic stuff like Lynch and to a lesser (more popular) extent Chris Nolen, both Coppolas, Scoresese, etc. One day I’ll make a list of movies i’ve liked, but my memory does not serve me well right now.
