I'd like to meet:

Nobody really, I'm a misanthrope in training. Although I suppose that meeting people that share my interests and such is one of the reasons for being on here eh?

That seems kind of dumb.

I'd also like to meet Bill O'Reilly and punch him in the mouth, ok? Thanks!

Don't you love how myspace has turned the entire internet into some godawful combination of a singles bar, an endless late night tv infomercial, and a trailer park?

May I be Frank here? No? Ok, then I will be Conan, I do not like this site, I don't like that it's become a substitute for e-mail, I don't like it's assy design, I don't like that it's owned by Rupert Murdoch, I don't really like anything about it at all.

Of the many things I don't like, myspace is one of them. I am here under protest and I choose to write, interact and opine about things in other forums. Sorry!

If you know me and think i'm rad, hey... thanks!

But don't expect to see anything interesting here. Except for every few months when I feel sassy and start typing in increasingly belligerent stuff like this to drive people and bad bands away... it never seems to work though.

Every once in awhile i'll make an announcement about something i'm involved with, this is usually lost immediately in the sea of babble that is this godforsaken hell hole of a social networking site.
