My name is Chooch, I dunno what you heard about the night in question...WORD!

About Me


A SANCHO PANZA DARKLY
..
Sancho Panza a character in the book "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes...its great. What I am is: a pessimistic optimist. Half Italian, half Welsh (but I'm not sure which half is which). I'm knockin' on a bit too and I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up! But then again...I don't wanna grow up! I love the smell of 1970's skateboard wheels, summer, sun cream and Channel no.5. Love wine...don't care what colour it is. It doesn't matter cos I can't drink to save my life! I have a stupid/sarcastic/sardonic sense of humour despite it all. I HATE my inhibitions! Sometimes I feel like Virgil Starkwell. I'm looking for more out of life but I don't know what it is or where to find it...YET. But it's not God or Satan! If anyone has any clues please let me know! I don't trust people who have no regrets...they are lying! HEY!!!...I'm walkin' here!
