Does anyone really read this stuff anyway? If, by mere happenstance, you do, you'll probably read it once, then go about your business.. And when or if you come back, voila! ...It'll still be the same mindless words sprawled out across cyberspace just waiting ever so patiently for you to come along and read them again. Yay!

Alright.. So I don't take myself seriously, so why should you?

You Have A Type B Personality
B You're as laid back as they come... Your baseline mood is calm and level headed. Creativity and philosophy tend to be your forte.Like a natural sedative, you have a soothing effect on people. Friends and family often turn to you first with their problems. You have the personality to be a spiritual or psychological guru. Do You Have a Type A Personality?

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people who don't wear t-shirts that say "Pedro for president" on Tuesdays, nor ghastly wigs on Thursdays, who refuse to eat PB&J on any given day, who drive on either side of the road, but only with their elbows and toes, and who take their dentures out to clean at exactly 11:34 PM every Saturday night, not a second later!

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say commonplace things but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the centerlight pop and everybody goes "AWWWW!!!"

- Jack Kerouac

Music:

Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, The Doors, The Beatles, some Jimi Hendrix, Rush, CCR, Enya, LynYrd Skynyrd, Edie Brickell (with and without The New Bohemians/Bohemians), Ravi Shankar, Cat Stevens, Steve Vai, Eric Clapton, Jack Johnson, David Gilmour, sometimes the Cure and Depeche Mode, and the list goes on and on.

Movies:

I'll usually watch anything once, and maybe, just maybe and only if I really like it, I might be convinced to watch a movie twice.

Television:

I don't normally spend much time in front of the television, especially since I've modernized my life and bought a computer and am hooked up with dsl. Although, we did just recently acquire dish network, so my curiousity has been tickled, and I've found myself watching a lot more than what I used to.

Books:

I am a compulsive/impulsive/chronic reader, and I read just about everything I can, though smut "novels" and western drama seem to evade my interest rather instantaneously. I have even been known to read the dictionary for fun. My favorite literary hobby is poetry and among my favorites are Jack Kerouac (can you tell?), Jim Morrison, William Blake, and so many more.

Heroes:

My heroes have always been cowboys...
