"Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay."Poem lyrics of "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost "There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge"--Bertrand Russell "I Mua Kakou I No Ka 'oe" Rockin' out to music and spending time with my beautiful wife, without whom I'd be lost, as I was before I met her.

I'd like to meet:
People that have music branded onto their very soul..you know who you are. You feel it.... taste it. I feel sorry for people who don't. It doesn't matter what kind of music as long as you are passionate about it....quirky sense of humor goes a long way with me also...spontaneous people are fun. People who love cartoons and documetaries. Documentaries about cartoons. Russ Meyer, true punk-rockers (NOT Blink 182 punk-rockers).... Twins are awesome. People who enjoy calling out from work sick and don't feel one bit guilty. People with OCD, John Waters...Ramones and Clash fans...Christopher Walken. Axl Rose...registered independants...Jeep Wrangler lovers, somebody who can wail on the saxophone like Michael Monroe or Clarence Clemons, Elvis fans...Napoleon Dynamite fans...comic book geeks, Red Sox fans...people with tattoos...people from Viginia beach (I want to live there again)...cool people that know what life is all about...... please tell me! "The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had." -- Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (1850-94), British writer, essayist, poet, novelist *The King sez*....

"Impossible" is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. It's not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." --Muhammad Ali--
