The Other White Meat

And I got here how?

About Me

I start out kind of medium sized and round at the top, then get bigger and rounder at the middle, then smaller and pointier at the end with the Tevas. I am good enough to root for the underdog, yet still smart enough to feed the overdog, although probably not as often as I should. Am I a bad egg? No. Am I a good egg? Hmmm. Can an egg be merely misguided? I like to go out on the town, I like stay in, I like to just shoot the shit. Not so crazy about having shit shot at me. Unless we're at the zoo, then it makes for a good story... ............................................................ .......................................

A collapsible set of mini-eras... (sad?)

Well, I don't know what cosmic force has impeded me from contolling the music in any vehicle I've ever owned, but that's the way it's always been... My first car was a 1974 Datsun Li'l Hustler pickup ...
