Rufus T. Firefly, President of Freedonia!

About Me

Being a brilliant, smartass, writer, poet, actor, etc. et al, ad infinitum is a rough gig, but it's the one I've been stuck with.I'm rarely the one at the center of attention at a party or in a room, but I'm the guy who can steal the spotlight with a single quip or quote that will deflate the biggest of egos. I don't dodge the spotlight, but prefer more substantial interaction than raw adulation or people staring at me just to see if the monkey can dance. (I can dance quite well, thank you very much!)I am a dreamer, a romantic, a quixotic hero riding full tilt at windmills in my own novel. I believe that ideas and love and hope can change the world, and I'm doing my damnedest to see that it does. If you want to change the world for the better, you are probably someone who can be my friend.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I like people who can take ideas and put their own spin on them, see another facet in the multitude of experiences that life has to offer. I don't want someone who defines themselves by their sexuality, body type or skin color (I don't say race, because there's one race, boys and girls: the HUMAN race, and anybody who tells you different is selling you something, and it's usually stocked with fear and hate), but someone who defines themselves by the content of their character. Their souls, mind, and everything they are. That's just what it takes to be my friend... for a relationship, I want someone I can also share thoughts, dreams, ideas, ideals, and orgasms with. Someone who can make me laugh, and who will laugh with me or at my silliness. There are far too many barriers in this world. Tear some down and give the person next to you a hug! And call me when you get out of jail for assault >

The Cruelest Time

I've heard the holidays called 'the cruelest time'. And they can be. It's not that people are cruel - usually people pay more attention to their conscience around this time, and try and spread kindnes...

So I was thinking about the economy lately, and was wondering why nobody put forth the obvious (to me, at least) solution to the economic and political slump this country is in: Impeachment. Let me ex...
