“Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes — I mean the universe — but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols, in which it is written. This book is written in the mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth."
Galileo Galilei
I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING in science called the "reindeer effect."
I don't know what it would be, but I think it'd be good to hear someone
say, "Gentlemen, what we have here is a terrifying example of the reindeer
effect."
-- Jack Handey, The New Mexican, 1988

- Gareth's an undergrad student at University of New Mexico - if you are a student or a teacher, there's a hook there!
- He hangs out at diners, coffee shops, any place he can feed his glorious and holy addiction to caffeine
- Gareth has a wide variety of nerdy tastes in music, film, etc. He may not know a lot, but it all fascinates him.
- Do you hate sleep? Or have an active dream life? Gareth does, too! See caffeine, above.

| Physical Description
|
This could be any young, male, asian college student, and maybe it is. Gareth has dark brown hair, long tangled locks, bangs that fall into his face to get swatted lazily aside by the back of a hand, hair that looks like it longs to fall against his shoulders. The bangs hide eyes that might as well be hazel but seem indecisive about it - sometimes they appear a bit blue, sometimes a light and warm brown, sometimes almost green, the kind of green eyes that people hopefully say they're green-eyed but you look at 'em and you can't say for sure they really are. His heavily tanned face show off smooth, sun-bronzed skin, a mild mouth, decent cheekbones and jaw, showing a caucasian heritage as well. He looks tired but alert, like sleep is a distant friend and wariness a constant companion.
He's wearing a white collared shirt, but in a Southeast Asian style, not a Western style: more dhoti, less business casual. He's got olive drab shorts that look like they were cut from army surplus cargo pants, and has sandals on his feet. He looks like a young man ready for summer with a kind of tense anticipation..
