About Me

I have the innate ability to tell if a movie sucks just by seeing the trailer. I can watch the television news program 60 Minutes in just under 40 minutes. I am a world class professional at the card game War. I'm not in the military, but sometimes I salute anyway. I invented the question mark. I do not need to signal for people to know I am changing lanes. There is no "i" in team, but I have discovered a "me". If you really want to know something, just ask. And I don't mind being IMed, I am always up for some conversation. --------------------------------- Antonio, a merchant of Venice "I hold the world but as the world... A stage where every man must play a part, And mine a sad one." "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan, 1892, Act III "What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan, 1892, Act III "What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?" Mahatma Gandhi, "Non-Violence in Peace and War" "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." Senator Robert F. Kennedy "The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you'll never find it." C. P. Snow (1905 - 1980) "There are few things in life a man can enjoy. God-damned half a pint of god-damned Scotch." Bum sitting outside of Ben and Jerry's on University "It's better to live and to act like a fool than to fool yourself into not really living at all." -If you can guess this, I will be impressed "Life is a jounrney. Enjoy the ride." -Can you guess who said this? "Lovin might be a mistake, but it's worth the making." "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." Dr. Suess "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." Albert Einstein
