We'll take the whole shebang. All or nothing, anything. Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang.

About Me

I come from Jewish, Anglican, Welsh(Abersoch,North Wales), Canadian parents. I currently live in a small apartment in a small town in a small province on a small island in a huge country. I was born in Edmunston New Brunswick but raised since the age of 2 on Prince Edward Island. I have three beautiful children (Autumn, Ariel and David). I'm single and i'm a plumber by trade. I leave the rest up to your own imagination.A WHIFF OF THE PANTHEON:The sea-eyed world- tolerates its gods- knows what we are-takes it for granted- that we shall be removed- as we have supplanted others-cares nothing- as we purport to do- for illumination-Yet surely other- than a milky eye- bears more than witness-to our once-grand foolishness- this nobbled run- at immortality(Joseph Sherman (my father) Lords of Shouting)
