About Me

So, my dear little snowflake, bountiful reader and, I'd like to assume, benevolent peruser of this misguided little corner of MySpace, what should I tell you about me? Well, slide on over and listen hard my friend. That's it, bunch up. There's plenty of room for everyone.
I'm a friend to the fraud and the charlatan. I dream dreams of lightning with axons of mud. I'm blessed with mediocrity. A God with trousers of mortality (+1). A creature of our time. A bystander with a bomb of enlightenment. I'm magic with feet of clay. A best supporting actor. A miracle with genes of neon. The best me you could ever be. The best me I could ever be.
I've been seduced by the easy charm of riches and the hidden vice of paucity. I've been to bed with women I've known and woken up with some I haven't. I've heard one hand clapping. I've inspired tears of joy, grief, happiness and boredom to roll down happy cheeks, sad cheeks, rosy cheeks and bottom cheeks. I've been a stunt duck, an exploding clown, a twelve inch pianist and the Englishman who walked into a bar. I'm fairly certain I used to be Luxembourg. All I own is my brain and my self, and at least one of those I doubt. I also like cheese.
Anyway, it's all true. And not. The fact is, I don't really know. I'm just along for the ride.
All in all, I'm pretty much like you. Ain't that scary?

The Wonder Years Voiceover and Why It's a Seminal Dramatic Achievement

Life would be so much better if it were accompanied by a Wonder Years voice over. That way you'd always know when something really important happened. Most of the time events aren't signposted. You'...

It could grip it by the husk!

This is madness. Despite being in a tired and weary state, I had to share this news story with the wider world. The problem is, I can't decide which side of the funny-evil divide it sits. I have two s...
