Just wanted to say greeting to all.
I'm a (currently) 46 year old former professional cyclist (American) living in Vienna, Austria. My current occupation is avoiding real work as much as possible, writing philosophy (intellectual B.S. to match my B.S. in Philosophy and Religion) and training a few professional cyclists.
I'm not all too serious about things and seem to possess a bit of an off-center humour... not everyone's cup of tea, but hey... so what!
At the moment I have been making the attempt to teach myself something about quantum mechanics and gravitational astrometry. The fact that I have not studied math in the past 24 years does not help, but the fact that I'm dyslexia is probably the greatest problem. I'm not too bother by it all. This just happens to be the rock that my inner Sisyfus has found attractive to push. I'm quite certain that Zeus is about to wind-up and zap me in the butt sooner rather than later, but I carry on regardless.
There are a lot of other boring details I could post about the life and time of the mayor of simpleton, but that can wait. Sports stories, braintumours, torn achilles tendons, leaving the USA for Austria, finishing a major in Philosophy without being able to read properly, parents who are a bit of a challenge... let's face it "every soul is a circus" (speaking metaphorically, as there really is no soul, well... James Brown is perhaps an example of an exception).
Notice that I ramble on and on about nothing...
Perhaps I should have made my user name "major non sequitur", but I'll leave that up to you "good" folks (and I'm sure will all be ranting over the "good" is from time too time).
Eventually I'll make a bio for those who are a bit more voyeuristic.
I hope that this will be a community where I can have a few thoughts and laughs... that's what matters the most.
Cheers too all and yes... my post all end with a cat call.
Meow!

Moral is as moral does and as moral wishes it all too be. - MoS
The absence of all empirical evidence for the necessity of intuitive X existing is evidence against the necessary empirical existence of intuitive X - MoS (variation of 180proof)
Athesim is not a system of belief, but rather a single answer to a single question. It is the designation applied by theists to those who do not share their assumption that a god/deity exists. - MoS
I am not one to attribute godlike qualities to things that I am unable to understand. I may never be in the position to understand certain things, but I am not about to create an anthropomorphic deity out of my short-commings. I wish not to errect a monument to my own personal ignorace and demand that others worship this proxy of ego. - MoS
