Salient King

the pain lingers.. amplified by loneliness

About Me

The outside scares me, so i stay cuddled up inside the land of dreams.
Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings.

Quotes to live by:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." ~ Theodore Roosevelt
"A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving..." ~ Albert Einstein
“A world is supported by four things: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous and the valor of the brave.” ~ Frank Herbert's Dune
"I've played long enough to know that if you do things the right way, if you study, prepare and believe, things will go your way.'' ~ Brett Favre
"Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy." ~ Aristotle
"Now you're gonna have to go through hell. Worse than any nightmare you ever dreamed. But in the end, I know you'll be the one standing. You know what you have to do. Do it. Do it!" ~Duke Evers
"You know that pain and guilt can't be taken away with a wave of a magic wand. They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my pain taken away! I need my pain!" ~James T. Kirk

My Interests

Escaping Reality

I'd like to meet:

*shrugs*
Sarah Silverman? Morgan Webb?
Claudia Black? :D
Patricia Diamond?! :D :D

*sigh* I guess I can settle for any woman thats accepting (and supportive) of the fact that I am insane and do not exist in "reality". Oh, and she has to be hot too.
...
Also has to love to cook... in the nude...
Oh, she also has to like being treated pretty poorly and ignored days on end. :D
