An optimist is someone who says, "These bad times can't last forever." A pessimist is someone who says, "These good times won't last forever." A realist is someone who understands nothing lasts forever.

------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
I am the ground beneath your feet when your nose is cast to the sky. I am the answers you don't want to hear to the questions you're afraid to ask. You may look in my direction, but you won't see me; your ears may be open, but you won't hear me. I stand just far enough outside the boundaries of your peripheral vision that you probably won't ever know i was here. And that suits me just fine.
------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
Short and ornery, with a quick wit and a sharp tongue. Nocturnal. Too smart for my own good. Highly cynical, wrote the book on sarcasm(not the book you read; i wrote the good one). Call myself "jaded" because "bitter" sounds old and infirm. Honest to a fault. Loyal to friends. Work hard for the things i have, and am very possessive of them. Stubborn. Won't ask for help even if i need it, but that's okay, because i don't need it. Extremely self critical. Something of an introvert, unless you can get me talking(a few whiskeys will usually do the trick), at which point shutting me up may necessitate the use of heavy, blunt instruments. I have a strong sense of humor, albeit often vulgar, and sometimes don't know when to shut up(actually, that's not true; more often than not, i know *exactly* when i *should* shut up, but simply choose not to). I suppose there's more.

Those people who smile a lot--watch the eyes..."

If you really want to know more about me, ask; there aren't many questions i won't answer. Or just browse my blog section and read one of the numerous stories that i swore i'd never tell anybody; now, they're open to everybody. I'd advise against it, though. They're long winded and convoluted and probably a huge waste of your time.
