About Me

upon the death of Queen Elizabeth l in 1603, King James l took to the throne, becoming king of scots, england, and ireland. the lion or the unicorn? take a bow.
i am a complicated guy.
i watch cartoons and read neitzsche.
as of 5.12.07, i have dual degrees in english and philosophy.
naturally, i like to explain things to people of which i have no actual knowledge.
my sarcasm often gets me into trouble. i have only good intentions.
i've been told i'm delightfully awkward, which can be mistaken for charm.
i never really know what to do with my hands. it's a problem.
i am semi-x X x. i throw in the 'semi,' because i'm still adjusting to the lifestyle.
i consider myself a sensitive artist. i'm clearly misunderstood.
i'm a writer. of fictions. published fictions.
"i'm your knight in shining armor, baby-- your boy and your lady. i'm your momma lion. i'm your man. i fight for you, dress for you, even cry for you. but only for you, baby, not for them. never for them..."
all it takes is one voice!

My Interests

ex nihilo nihil fit.

the road to self-discovery is a twisting, turning, winding one, torn up and not easily navigated or suited for those vehicles not designed for off-roading; the detour signs are mislabled, and you're on your own doing 70 in a 45, hoping something will look familiar and you're not really lost. i am still driving...

don't write me messages you don't want a response to. but do feel free to AIM me at RedRabbitAF.

I'd like to meet:

just tell me to stay...

"you can make all the moves
you can aim all the spotlights
get all the sighs and the moans just right"

when you strike at the king, you must kill him, for remember-- when the game is over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box.

if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom... but whoever denies me before men, i shall also deny (ex 19:5). touch me not.
