I'm the guy who knows everything; or at least, thinks he does.
I'm the Neanderthal you see walking down the street.
I'm the weirdo who hasn't grown up.
I'm the lawyer who hasn't seen the inside of a courtroom.
I'm Eric Carpenter.
Basically I'm 33, a Neanderthal and an attorney who works as an IT Consultant. I've got an amazing brain for trivia, but I lock my keys in the car or leave the lights on at least once a month. I refuse to grow up entirely--I'm aware of my responsibilities and things I must do, but I will have fun at all costs.
I need to be constantly entertained...or at least provided with new information. I read three to four books at a time, the television is always turned on to either news or cartoons. I go through magazines and comic books like they were made of paper (Hey! Waitaminnit!).
I currently live in Indianapolis, but that's about the 37th place I've lived in my life. In the last decade alone I've lived in three different places in Chicago; New York City; Jersey City; Columbus, Ohio; St. James, Missouri; Springfield, Illinois; and now Indianapolis. I'm not moving any more not because of location, but mainly because I'm deadly tired of loading up my life in the back of a U-Haul and moving it. I'm happy where I am with a good group of friends.
I currently share my life with Briwn, the Hyperdog. Feel free to visit her site (one of the few places I will place pictures). I'll warn you in advance, don't get me talking about the dog...I won't stop.
I'm sure you also stopped by to check on my personal philosophy. I won't go into much detail except to say I'm one of the most mundane people you'll ever meet. I believe in very little more than I can physically see, touch or taste. For a geek, I'm truly short of belief in UFO's and Conspiracies. I'm a real-world sort of guy. Of course, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy reading or watching that sort of thing. I just consider it complete fiction--even the fun I have at web sites that subsist on that sort of material is because I get a good chuckle out of the gullibility of people.
I'm always interested in urban legends, prophecy fulfillment, UFO hysteria, and new ageism. Feel free to send me any nifty or just plain goofy sites. I'll be glad to post 'em as I get my site list up and running.
By the way, I pretty much say what I mean--at least in type. I'm fairly brave when I hide behind a keyboard, but get me riled in real life and I'm much the same.
If you want to ask anything else, feel free. Just write to me at [email protected] and I'll answer if I feel like it.
