United States

Hometown:: Aberdeen, NC

About Me:: I'm a 21 year old office jockey, trying to save up as much money as possible, so I can get the hell out of Dodge.

I'll be moving to Greece in November of '08, with the intention of attending the Aristotle University, in Thessaloniki. I've done a lot of debating over the issue, but I think I've finally settled on theoretical linguistics as my major. It sounds very interesting, and It will also enable me to take classes in my native language, while I improve on my Greek.

Gender:: Male

Issues that matter to me:: International relations, US foreign policy, US politics, EU politics, Globalization (neoliberalism), Modern history, Journalism, Climate change, Internet technology, Anarchism, Mass media, Emergent behavior, Complex systems, Socialism

Any news junkies in Greece?

So I'm going to be in Greece, getting some stuff set up for school, between the 18th and 30th of January. I'll be flying into Saloniki, and going on to Athens after about 5 days or so.

If there are any junkies in the area, let me know if you want to grab a cup of coffee or something.

Just to let you know, my Greek sucks (πάρα πολύ :/), so, all questions in Greek will be diverted to, and answered by, my local friends. :)

So, come on... who wants Starbucks?!
The one…

"We should just nuke them all, take the oil, and be done with it!"

I was at work today, and despite the commotion that surrounded me, the constant calls and less than scholarly customers, my focus was as keen as I have ever known it to be. I was transfixed, I was mesmerized. I was in utter awe at what I saw, flashing across my computer screen today.

I found a clip of the Tsar bomb nuclear test, the largest thermonuclear explosion…
