If you're reading this it's because you're trying to figure out who I am. I could say anything at all here and--assuming it's not too far-out--you'd probably believe it. So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to tell you the truth, because that's just the kind of stand-up guy that I am.

I am a huge nerd. Not the techie kind of nerd (I wish) or the comic-booky kind of nerd (again: I wish) or even the game geek kind of nerd (superwish). I'm a nerd without a home, cast adrift on a sea of nerdish interests that don't quite match any of the convenient nerdish categories.

Because explanations are boring and tag clouds are hip, I'm going to give you a big 'ol cloud of things that I love. Your mission is to try to make some sense out of this mess:

H.P.Lovecraft, Socrates, Tom Waits, Buddha, Fight Club, Freud, NIN, Darwin, Kafka, Silent Hill, Tolstoy, Radio Head, Max Ernst, Proust, Lord of the Rings, Chopin,  Mirror's Edge, Dostoevsky, Dungeons and Dragons, NLP, 28 Days Later, Franz Ferdinand, The Watchmen, Arrested Development, CBT, Carlos Castaneda, Dr. Strange, Brueghel, Weird Al Yankovich, E.A.Poe, The Guild, The Elder Scrolls, William S. Burroughs, Nietzsche, A Tale of Two Sisters, If You're Still Reading This I Am Seriously Impressed. Respect. Oh. And coffee. I love me some coffee.

I could have made that list about a hundred times longer but what's the point?

Join me on HubPages and write about the stuff you love.

I've had over a hundred thousand views. And I made money. Real money. I bought myself a cup of coffee with it. Take that, underachieving former self!

Oh, and truancyfactory.com. That's my summer home.
