I AM NOT ON MY SPACE TO GET PICKED UP!!!!! I don't care how much money you make or how many days a week you go to the gym or how many fucking friends you have on your list! Please, IF YOU ARE INCLINED TO ADD ME PLEASE HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO SEND A MESSAGE AS WELL! HINT: You are not likely to be added if you are not where I am (Austin) or where I used to be (Michigan).Interested in meeting creative people who know what the words honesty, respect, truth, honor, and friendship really mean. And of course, Humor! This is not to say that that I do not already have people in my life that understand and value those things, I do. But as I find myself approaching the age where I deal with arthritis more than hangovers, my leftover naivete is learning to deal with the fact that there are far more people on this planet who do not value/offer those things than there are those who still believe in/practice them. THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE THAT I HATE MORE THAN LIES, LIARS, AND PEOPLE WHO CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO CONSIDER HOW THEY MAY POSSIBLY AFFECT ANOTHER PERSON'S WELL BEING! I'm sure a few of you can somewhat relate.
Eternally interested in learning-acquiring information, reasons, facts, figures, balance, explanations, wisdom, answers, awareness with a dash of ignorance, unasked questions, undiscovered brain cells, mysteries needing attention, challenges to be made and met-FUCK! Why haven't I figured all this shit out yet? Is it supposed to take this long?
I think I need a drink...Don't you?

Anne Rice-Every word she ever wrote... that is, before she went all "born again". I mean, shit...was it really that fun the first time?
And "All I needed to know I learned in Kindergarten", "It was on fire when I lay down on it", and "uh-oh" all by Robert Fulgham. Shakespear, though I do not claim to ALWAYS be in the frame of mind for that undertaking. Love to read history, though I confess I end up watching much more than I read. And am a life-long bigraphy freak.
