There Are No Atheists In Foxholes

About Me

"I only have this moment for a second and then it's history."BTW- PORNO PEOPLE: I'm not in to online porn at all. Don't send me a friend request, I'll just deny it. I'm sure you have a great site, but it's not for me...

My Interests

I have no interest in hiking. I do like walking around in the woods, living vicariously through other people's drinking habits and reading late at night. I sometimes miss smoking, usually if I'm outside of a bar or club at night. Ooh, I like shopping around at vintage clothes stores and used CD places. I don't like going out and shooting automatic weapons, I got that out of my system in the army. I do like nerf guns, though I don't own one. I like checking out different cafes, family owned places preferably. Playing piano is actually really high on the list along with pleasant conversation. Trade shows can be fun too, though they can be a torment as well. I'm in to playing pool again lately, though I'm not very good... not even remotely (shudder).

I'd like to meet:

I won't say that "I want to meet genuine people". That's one line that is used quite a bit and I'm going to take a stand.I don't care if people are genuine or not. I just like people that I get along with and have something interesting to say. Non-genuine comments can be really interesting too. If you think about it, many of the things that people appreciate the most can, and are, usually only partially genuine. "You look nice today", being one of them. In fact, some percieved "genuine" people are out right liars. They are just un-genuine people masquerading. And here's a question... Is anyone, REALLY, always genuine? I see people that consider themselves GENUINE tell lies because they don't want to give money to a bum or the person that's hitting on them is undesirable.Am I genuine? I'm probably just as genuine as you are.So who would I like to meet? Realists that don't take themselves too seriously and that enjoy life for what it is... a passing moment. And people with empathy, that care about the feelings of others.

Smile

I haven't been in a good mood lately. Partly due to being sick, partly due to life in general. After tonight, however, I don't feel that I have an excuse. During my drive home from the studio tonight,...
