death(having lost)put on his universe / and yawned:it looks like rain / (they've played for timelessness / with chips of when) / that's your;i guess / you'll have to loan me pain / to take the hearse, / see you again. //Love(having found)wound up such pretty toys / as themselves could not know: / the earth tinily whirls; / while daisies grow / (and boys and girls / have whispered thus and so) / and girls with boys / to bed will go, / /// "66" - e.e. cummings (are you kidding me?)
ok, so back on track.... someone who can be irresponsible and fun (not that one necessitates the other) and at the same time is not afraid to pick life's brain and figure out the basic philosophical question: what the fuck am i doing here? seriously. anyone who's willing to engage, drink some coffee, read, watch movies, listen to music--for hours at a time--and explore what it's about--then turn around and ignore whatever meaning there might be to it all, that would be nice. confident is good; overconfident is just about the worst thing i can imagine--though i've been told, a lot, that i come across as that way, or as aloof, my bad, i try, but.--a reader, thinker, listener, totally open minded, liberal at least--i can hang out with conservative if i must (since that's a prereuisite for spending time with my family, sigh, who all live in SLC, UT). too much god is a bad thing. sassy works... what the hell i'm just hoping to meet some people with amazing souls.
