I am here for Friends

About Me

Getting on a bit in years and experiencing more and more of what is on offer from the random lucky bag of life. Why though, do I still feel twelve years old? Is my life reverse-imitating art? Did I visit that damned Zoltar machine and wish myself little? Is anything with Tom Hanks classified as art? Am I digressing from the main thread of my introduction? Does it even have a thread? Anyhoo - about ME. ME (according to Julie Andrews) is a name I call myself. That is not exactly true though. I don't often call myself ME. In fact, I seldom call myself at all, hence forgetting my own phone number. I sometimes call myself I, but then "I is a name I call myself" would not have sounded so good in the sound of music.More about ME. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - also known as CFS (NO - Not the place that sells cheap sofas - it stands for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). Symptoms include:Fatigue, muscle pain and/or twitching, joint pain but without swelling or tenderness, on-going flu-like feelings, headaches which may be migrainous in character, problems with balance, unrefreshing sleep pattern, sore throats, enlarged glands, intolerance of temperatures extremes, alcohol intolerance, postural hypotension (low blood pressure), sensitivity to bright light and loud noise...Hypochondriacs out there??? I am sure I have had almost all of those symptoms (all except the alcohol intolerance of course).Some words which describe me (as provided by http://similarminds.com).messy, tough, disorganized, fearless, not rule conscious, likes the unknown, rarely worries, rash, attracted to the counter culture, rarely irritated, positive, resilient, abstract, not a perfectionist, risk taker, strange, weird, self reliant, leisurely, dangerous, anti-authority, trusting, optimistic, positive, thrill seeker, likes bizarre things, sarcasticNow in my own words: Spendiotastic, positivfectionistic, disorgananimalised, recalcitrantational, fermentationalist, sarcaustic-acidimimic-neutralitarian, spoo...So there you have it for what it is worth (half a groat methinks).Here's some stuff of the musical variety scenario interface that I like...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet any phisher or computer hacker or virus generator, so I could "Tell them off"...Who I would not like to meet : I (ME, Myself) in a dark alley if I were one of the above mentioned types. Although if ME was one of the above mentioned types, I guess I would not have such pent up anger directed at ME by I Myself and ME. That being said, I still wouldn't want to meet myself in a dark alley, or anywhere else for that matter. That would have to mean there were two of ME. Which would mean I was not ME but MEME, and I am certainly not (as defined in the American Heritage Dictionary):"A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another."Neither am I an II, which for some reason reminds me of one of my favourite jokes:There are only 10 types of people in this world, people who understand binary and people who don't.I would like to meet the person who first coined the phrase "to coin a phrase".I would like to meet Ethelred the Unready, and give him a digital alarm clock to help him get up that little bit earlier to prepare for the day.I would like to meet Johnny Depp and ask him who he would be "gay for", provided I did not have to listen to "Joe le taxi" on his stereo.I would like to meet Einstein and ask him if he was upset at not getting a speaking role in Back to the Future.I would like to meet Pavlov. Anyone who does experiments involving raspberry and meringue desserts is OK in my book. No bloody wonder the dogs were salivating. I'm salivating just thinking about it...I would like to meet anyone who can break through my natural defense of ridiculous humour to find the mushy blood covered pulp that is my true inner self.

The joys of Sauerkraut...

Ahh the things that too much sauerkraut causes. I am imagining it must be the effect of my body trying to digest too much cabbage that is causing my mind to waver in such an unusual manner (unusual fo...
