My name is Ned. I was born in August of 1995. I'm a writer, poet, history buff, software developer, and environmentalist. When taking philosophical stances I deem myself an existentialist as well as generally stoic by nature. Philosophers I admire include Nietzsche, Aurelius, Seneca and Freud to mention a few. Additionally, when on the topic of poetry; I am a incredible admirer of the Romantics. This consists of Keats, Shelley, Byron, William Blake again to mention a few. The Romantics lived in a surreal time period where beauty was appreciated in a plethora of ways. The notion of immortality and ethereal beauty of nature is truly a euphoric literary device. Oh yeah, I play video games occasionally. However, I suffer from having a dated computer and poor internet.
