Venalis Silentium

Livin' the dream...

About Me

I give spectacular horoscopes. It's my feeling that the word "prosperous" isn't used nearly enough. It's been said that I enjoy making fun of people too much - and well, I agree with that wholeheartedly. I'm reigning champion of the World Series of Winking three years running. I can change a flat tire. When I was little, I led my Wiffle Ball League in homeruns and extra basehits. Nicholas Karatzas and I were the last two standing in the second grade spelling bee and I took him out when he misspelled kangaroo - what a dumbass - making me the champ. I can tell which way the air is blowing by touching a finger to my tongue and then holding it in the air. I know what the Golden Mean is. I kicked a lot of ass when I was a young boy. I've marched in the South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade. I can tell you why the sky is mostly blue. And why when you put bread in a toaster, it gets toasty. I enjoy a well-cooked breakfast. I've never passed the dutchie from the lefthand side. I'm wicked smart, too, dude.
A Few More Things:
This is my official flag....
And leisurely, I enjoy....
...but if you want to know anything about anyone in this universe, apply the following....
...then ask questions.
