i am extremely fond of computers (software in particular) and along with that territory, i’m a huge nerd. (i run the blog thehelpfulnerd.) i fancy myself at least a pseudo-intellectual; i’m curious and restless in the pursuit of knowledge. i live almost entirely in an emotional world, keenly empathic to the people i know and talk to, and almost entirely useless when it comes to independence and essential day-to-day tasks.
i smoke a lot of pot, and do other drugs too when i get the chance. they’re an escape, i’ll readily acknowledge, but they’re a fun escape, and they also help to make some of my paranormal hallucinations more manageable.
i graduated high school and went to pennsylvania to a school called lehigh university, where i squandered my and my parents’ money for the better part of an academic year before having a near brush with suicide and being taken back home to miami. after a brief period when i worked as a customer service agent for a birth announcement card company (“thank you for calling stork avenue, my name’s kyle, how can i help you?”) i tried my luck again, this time at university of miami. my anxiety and depression showed back up, as did my other monster, and my parents and i jointly decided to send me to a year-long rehab in central oregon. i did my time there, and stayed clean, then left after the year was up and didn’t stay clean anymore. i had a job at radioshack and left it for a job working as a phone tech support advisor for apple. it was the perfect job for me, but i had another slow crash and burn, culminating in an anxiety-ridden week spent in my bedroom, fired from my job, having gotten rid of my car and completely emptied my funds.
i was taken in by a friend of mine the age of my mother, by the name of gail. she allowed me to live in the corner of her room, until i was added to the lease and got a room of my own (which is in a constant state of being half-assedly cleaned) and i spend my days on the internet, doing basically nothing. i flirted with intentions of traveling around the country (hence the travel blog) but my anxiety so far has kept me firmly rooted to the only semblance of security i have in my life out of fear of the unknown.
i post a lot of cats (especially the one who lives here, smoky) and a lot of weed (and me smoking it) and a lot of naked people (including me) (and including me naked smoking weed).
i love getting to know people through tumblr. if you have something you want to say to me, my ask box is always open and accepting whatever you want to put in it, as is my submit page. in every friend i make, i am looking to find the same kind of person that i strive to be: one who loves as much as they are capable of doing and treats other people accordingly.
i am not religious at all, but i think most religions have a decent idea or two worth considering. in the words of an amazing reggae artist, love is my religion.
i have a tendency to beat myself up emotionally from time to time, but don’t worry. i pull myself out of it with some help from my friends.
so browse through my tumblr, or say something to me, or…um…don’t? either way, i hope i can keep you entertained, intrigued, or at least slightly amused.
