Hmmmm...what am I looking for in a companion? Someone courageous and self-confident who isn't afraid to speak her mind even when her opinion may fly in the face of my own. She should be pretty, but not conceited; joyful, but not airheaded; brilliant, but not distant or cold. She should be charming and witty and sexual - able to make me a better person by proximity alone. These shoes have been worn before, and they are not easily filled. Good luck :)

The Bible is worth a read even if you're not a Christian, simply because so much of the mythos of America is drawn from it.
My Grandfather - greatest man I know - and my cousin Bennett Paige - toughest person, male or female, ever. Nico Di Mattia for his inhuman talent for illustration, R. Scott Bakker for his deftness with the English language, Carroll Shelby for his driving automotive passion and Samuel Clemens for giving me true perspective on what it means to suffer.
