sometimes i almost feel just like a human being.

About Me


the ultimate in class, grace, and style.
also: cursing, tattoos, driving fast, and really fast punk rock.
i've got STAYING POWER, which means i won't do you wrong and i smile a lot.
"Come back, Carl Sandburg, and imitate how impossible it would be for a mob to hurray the name of a politician called Oom Paul. Come back, and standing with your guitar slung from your shoulder, the very epitome of all mankind's naturalness and at-easeness, sing again how we left old Crego's bones to bleach on the range of the buffalo and with your voice make the trail of the buffalo-skinners seem as far away as the dimmest star among the constellation called The Seven Sisters. Come back and chant the very word Or-e-gone in your way and sit by a table with three dark, cold bottles on it and laugh and talk until the shades of evening have fallen and then on until the Guide to the Morning Star is above the eastern rim--only we shall probably not be looking at it. I am breathing sawdust, Carl. Come back and blow it all away. And then when you leave I'll expect you to say, as you have said each time we have parted these lustrums of years, the light in your eye and the softness in your voice, 'Goodbye. We are both young yet. We'll meet again.'"
--J. Frank Dobie
"When you live alone you no longer know what it is to tell a story: the plausible disappears at the same time as the friends. You let events flow by too: you suddenly see people appear who speak and then go away; you plunge into stories of which you can't make head or tail: you'd make a terrible witness."
--Jean-Paul Sartre
