About Me

Most people live dejectedly in worldly sorrow and joy; they are the ones who sit along the wall and do not join in the dance. The knights of infinity are dancers and possess elevation. They make the movements upward, and fall down again; and this too is no mean pastime, nor ungraceful to behold. But whenever they fall down they are not able at once to assume the posture, they vacillate an instant, and this vacillation shows that after all they are strangers in the world. This is more or less strikingly evident in proportion to the art they possess, but even the most artistic knights cannot altogether conceal this vacillation. One need not look at them when they are up in the air, but only the instant they touch or have touched the ground–then one recognizes them. (– Johannes de Silentio, Fear and Trembling, 1843)

My Interests

Tom. I heart him. Also, candles, photos taped to my closet walls, and hair samples. *********************************************************** I also enjoy pina coladas, gettin' caught in the rain, and other Virgos. and cheesburgers in paradise. and tequila. Lots of tequila. (You need it to be able to stomach that fat smelly drunk middle aged bastard, especially in such a warm climate). Damn you, Jimmy Buffet, damn you to hell, sir.... ..
