The Guiding Hand

I've no time or patience for pretenders and/or bitches

About Me

Howdy, folks. I don't really like to talk about myself if a specific topic is not broached. I can say that I am an ambitious nerd, and an aspiring aspiring musician. I'm an insomniac for no reason other than the fact that I wish that there was more time in the day to relax, and sleeping (as great as it is) takes away from that. I enjoy books, especially the good ones. If you have a book you would like to recommend to me, by all means please do. I like to spend my time thinking of ways I could be spending my time. What little free time I have to do such frivolous activities, that is.

My Interests

Videogames, music, some movies and TV shows, books, blah blah blah. I think I'm more into music than anything, though.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet a girl who would actually pay attention to me. Someone who would see me as more than "just a friend". I would like to meet a girl who is kind and loving and would actually be willing to spend at least a LITTLE time with me. I would like to meet a girl who is intelligent, ambitious, and just plain ol' silly. I would like to meet a girl who isn't all about partying 24/7, or going downtown and getting trashed 7 days a week. I guess that is to say, I would like to meet the girl of my dreams. But dreams, as are wishes, are but illusions of the mind.Oh and, of course, LUNA SEA.If you feel compelled to talk to me, then by all means please do. Otherwise, enjoy yourself as you pass through this quiet town on the way to your final destination. AIM = Taro RentAHeroView All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment

There are few things in life that truely piss me off

Being constantly ignored is one of them.In other news, tomorrow is the MOMENT OF TRUTH. Why do i have a creeping suspicion that something dire is going to happen?
