'No' is a complete sentence

About Me

A bit too arrogant to attempt to explain who I think I am in an obscure whitespace on the "www". * A bit too human to leave this space blank. * My goal is to leave this world in peace - have the people I leave behind happy I was around, but sad that I'm gone. * I work best under what I like to call "controlled chaos": let's set some boundaries, then get outta my way. * I like people who inspire me and challenge me to be more than I believed I was otherwise capable. * I admire those who inspire and challenge without being verbose, or otherwise annoying - by just living their own life. * I like people who smile. * I don't appreciate people who sulk and just plain suck the life outta people. * Sometimes I don't like myself, and often times, I don't like you. * I have not paid for cell phone service since 1999. * I'm an ex-Marlboro Light user; "ex" since Nov. 2002. * I gained 40 pounds during college. * I lost 30 pounds after graduating from college. * I tend to fancy myself with females I can't get. * Once I get one of those girls, I lose interest. * I think I just figured out why I didn't have a girlfriend (until now). * I like yOu because you've read this far. * I like to tell people to "keep your head up... no use in looking at the ground when the sky's the limit." * Sometimes I don't follow my own advice. * I crave change. * I need routine. * I love having people around, and making sure people are ok. * I need time to be alone, think about where I am, where I've been, where I'm going, and why I'm sitting around thinking. * Sometimes I talk to myself. * I believe you're only crazy when you start answering back. * I sincerely believe that YOU gotta make things happen. Sitting around gets you to exactly where you were when you first sat down. * I tend to be quickly enamored with ideas, people, places & such. * I lose interest with the above mentioned even faster. * I'm easily amused. * Simple things are great. Plain things are not. * I like using cliches. * I believe in love at first sight. * I wish I was a little bit taller. * I care what you think about me. * Ladies wearing women's Escape or Issey Miyake make me dizzy - in the good kinda way. * Guys wearing the same scare me. * I understand it's not always a matter of right vs. wrong - that sometimes it's a matter of bad vs. less bad, or right vs. "righter". * Sometimes I wish things were just black & white again. * I often bitch about not having enough "grey" in my life. * Once I get started, I just can't seem to shaddup...

The case of the singing Redneck Woman!

Love nerds?

I think the web is mangled mess of all things good & bad about society: free speech, anonymity, meritocracy, unregulated capitalism.   Somehow, I cant seem to stay away from it though. ...
