TAKE IT EASY... BUT TAKE IT.

About Me

Be who you are and say what you feel... because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." ~ Dr. Suess

My Interests

I've got no ambition, guess I'm out of place Cause I'd rather go fishing than run in the race.I'm naturally lazy but what can I do? I was born in the wrong place, wrong time too.Just working for money working for pay All seems so pointless day after dayI'm happy dreaming and it's good for my health And only when I'm dreaming am I really myselfSome people say its just running away, But then everyone's running somewhere, And I still believe that the best we can do, Is to know where we are and be there.For what we call progress Is just selling our soul,There's just too much going on out there beyond my control.

I'd like to meet:

Heroes:

Guess you know by now or at least you should, There is no volunteer for the common good, Still waiting for the Saviour to appear, But He’s s not here, And no one’s coming down to save your soul, You're the only ones who can assume that role, But your minds are empty and you've lost control, To the ones who sell you dreams, To fill that hole,Some of us I know seem to have much more, Born with a key to every door, Distribution of fortune seems unfair, Same everywhere, And those who have... they just want more, Using other peoples weakness to increase their score, Do you really know who you're working for, It's not for one another and that's for sure."Idols are hollow" - Jim Morrison
