I detest people. Wikipedia really pisses me off. No one follows the rules. Yet I find myself addicted. I do not wish to disclose much about myself. I am a college student and have been for quite some time. I only say that as it has been previously discovered. Suffice to say that nothing matters about me other than the fact that I am here as an intellectual and wish to help wikipedia become better. I am quite interested in (and have studied much in) anthropology, psychology, religion, philosophy, music, art, and many other things, and that is probably reflected in my edits.
I do not hesitate to report people who vandalize pages or write stupid bullshit.
A good number of people seem to think I was an extremist. That may or may not be so. It's interesting to note that many of these same people are themselves extremists, though I'm sure they don't think so. Sometimes extremism needs to be battled with extremism. As an interesting factoid, many of those accounts who so vehemently battled me and were so assured in their self righteousness are now blocked or have retired. Sweet vindication.
Yes, I've been blocked before. A total of six times, as a matter of fact. I was much more "edgy" when I joined up on wikipedia and there was a period when many people were blocked for warring on a particular issue. Howevever, my last block was in November 2007, so bringing it up helps no one. I contributed after that block and didn't run into any problems. The past is the past and people change. I could just as easily have made a new account but chose not to.
I have a sense of humor that not many seem to get. It's kinda dry I suppose. I'm very sarcastic sometimes and usually always quite satirical. I love lambasting mainstream culture and the media. Also just about everything else that people take way too seriously.
I admit I can be somewhat of an elitist at times, but I also consider myself an intellectual and I'm always open to friendly debates and the such and am extremely tolerant and open. I quite dislike ignorant, intolerant and close-minded people.

Percy Grainger (1882–1961) was an Australian-born composer, arranger and pianist who played a prominent role in the revival of interest in British folk music in the early 20th century. Grainger left Australia in 1895 to study at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt. Between 1901 and 1914 he was based in London, where he established himself first as a society pianist and later as a concert performer, composer and collector of original folk melodies. He met many of the significant figures in European music, forming friendships with Frederick Delius and Edvard Grieg, and became a champion of Nordic music and culture. In 1914, Grainger moved to the United States, where he took citizenship in 1918. He experimented with music machines that he hoped would supersede human interpretation. Although much of his work was experimental and unusual, the piece with which he is most generally associated is his piano arrangement of the folk-dance tune "Country Gardens". This glass negative of Grainger was taken at some point around 1915–1920.Photograph credit: Bain News Service; restored by Adam Cuerden and MyCatIsAChonk
Costello's (also known as Tim's) was a bar and restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, from 1929 to 1992. The bar operated at several locations near the intersection of East 44th Street and Third Avenue. Costello's was known as a drinking spot for journalists with the New York Daily News, writers with The New Yorker, novelists, and cartoonists, including the author Ernest Hemingway, the cartoonist James Thurber, the journalist John McNulty, the poet Brendan Behan, the short-story writer John O'Hara, and the writers Maeve Brennan and A. J. Liebling. The bar is also known for having been home to a wall where Thurber drew a cartoon depiction of the "Battle of the Sexes" at some point between 1934 and 1935; the cartoon was destroyed, illustrated again, and then lost in the 1990s. A wall illustrated in 1976 by several cartoonists, including Bill Gallo, Stan Lee, Mort Walker, Al Jaffee, Sergio Aragonés, and Dik Browne, is still on display at the bar's final location.
