Taurus April 20 - May 20
There comes a time in a man's life when he begins to take stock—his thoughts turn to his place in the world, his impending mortality, and the meaning of life, if any at all... But yours will stay pretty much fixed on vaginas
You're Agent Albert Rosenfield, the snide and
superior forensics expert. Your tongue is
sharper than your scalpel, and it doesn't take
long for people to start hating you for your
supercilious quips, but you are the very best
at what you do. You don't suffer fools gladly,
but you give respect when it's due. In fact,
you're a good guy at heart, but so wedded to
your sarcasm that you can rarely stand to treat
people kindly.

I read a lot. I could sit here all day and name all the books I've read and loved. I like some of the classics. Not too big a fan of early American lit. Nathaniel Hawthorne bores me to tears. I think Emily Dickinson was pretty sure about the world without ever having seen much of it, so I tend to get exasperated at people who go on about how tortured she was. These same people who have heated discussions on whether she had bipolar disorder vs. social anxiety disorder. Give me a break. I like Walden, but people forget that that little pond of his was only just outside the city limits of Concord. He wasn't really roughing it. He was an early hippie who did the colonial version of going to the Hamptons and wrote while he was there. I'm not saying it's bad, just some literature gets taken out of perspective.
I usually read at least three newspapers a day. I love information. I'm hoping to parlay this into a lucrative quiz show career. I have master plans of going to California for two weeks and seeing how many game shows i can get on.
