I try to be myself around here. My persona on here is like an exaggerated version of who I really am; I think that applies to many users. I love science and am currently working on my undergraduate degree. I work at a radio station as well as contract with some governmental and non-governmental organizations. Basically I get paid to go to concerts and hang out with musicians as well as piloting boats and SCUBA diving. Music and science are two of the things I'm most passionate about, so my jobs are absolutely amazing. My other passion, which I want to make a career in, is pharmacology, specifically neuropsychopharmacology which is a big fancy word for "how substances affect the mind (psychopharmacology) + how drugs influence/utilize neural mechanisms (neuropharmacology)." Basically I'm fascinated by how drugs do the things they do on a structural level as well as a subjective level, or how drugs fit into receptors or modulate ion channels as well as how and why drugs do the things they do and make you feel the way you do after taking them. I'm mainly interested in psychoactive substances, such as cannabis, opiates/opioids, benzodiazepines, psychedelics and dissociatives. So basically anything that can produce a subjective "high." I have a history of substance use (and some periods of substance abuse) and that has led me to become absolutely fascinated by the underlying mechanisms at work when drugs/substances alter the mind/cognition as well as the changes in cognition they produce. I'm also in a long-term relationship with my girlfriend, although I still get some action from my right hand from time to time, which girlfriend is totally cool with. But honestly, this girl is the one and I truly don't want to spend my life with anyone but her. Thankfully she feels the same way but even more so (or so she claims). Also, I hate selfies and have never taken one. I do not intend to start taking selfies now so I shall describe myself: 6' tall, brown/black/blonde-sun-stained hair that reaches a little lower than my shoulders, big bushy beard, about 160 pounds, a very slight beer gut and several scars from various misadventures. If anyone wants to talk about science in your man. And if you misrepresent or attempt to refute science on the forums, rest assured that I will find you and correct you and generally be a sarcastic ass while doing so. One final note: MrSpinklesWirth and I have been locked in battle for about 6 years now, although neither side has ever been in combat with the other. Think of it as a Flood Cold War. And I may or may not have been involved with The PETA Debacle back on Bungie.old that nearly forced Achronos to use The Nuclear Option on The Flood Forum and annihilate us all from The Great Server. Anything else? Just ask. I'm gonna go have a nice smoke and play some games.
