About Me


I'm a big fan of silly. I dabble a bit in ridiculous. I have been known, on occasion, to act a bit stupid... and I am certainly always childish. I'm an intellectualist. I am a firm believer in the nonsensical and nonconforming. I am living in the wrong country and possibly on the wrong planet. I'm BRUTALLY honest, I need a holiday in the sun. I am actually quite brilliant and important; I have just been working at a series of low-paying, menial, office jobs and moved several times in order to keep a low profile. I am DEEPLY suspicious of anyone who is overly happy and optomistic considering the state of affairs in the world.
"This just feels like spinning plates. I'm living in cloud cuckoo land."
Thanks to idiot Bush the US was the ONLY country to withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol to fight Global Warming. This unnecessary war is costing the US billions of dollars a week!!! when we don't even have universal healthcare and we haven't finished the job in New Orleans!! (http://www.costofwar.com) But hey, we gotta have gas for our SUVs right? So a few (thousands) civilians were killed... so what? There's genocide occurring in Darfur...American-funded bombs are being dropped on Lebanon and hundreds of thousands of people are homeless as a result...Human Rights violations are occurring every minute...It makes me very sad.
On the more serious side of things, last week I figured out the cure for cancer but then "Lost" came on tv and I forgot it. Good show.
"You are much too exacting and hungry for this simple, easygoing and easily contented world of today. You have a dimension too many. Whoever wants to live and enjoy his life today must not be like you and me. Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours...Time and the world, money and power belong to the small people and the shallow people. To the rest, to the real men belongs nothing." - Herman Hesse, Steppenwolf
"All morons hate it when you call them a moron"
J.D.Salinger,Catcher in the Rye
"I'm just sick of ego, ego, ego."
JD Salinger, Franny and Zooey
"Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be" - Pink Floyd

"Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans" - John Lennon
"My story is not a pleasant one; it is neither sweet nor harmonious as invented stories are; it has the taste of nonsense and chaos, of madness and dreams like the lives of all men who stop deceiving themselves"- Herman Hesse

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet some GENUINE people who are AWARE and who share my interests. People to talk about "life, the universe, and everything" with would be nice.

I'm really tired of shallow, duplicitous, corrupt people. It's all about TRUTH and LOVE. Everyone needs to show more love and compassion! I just can't relate. I'd like to meet a dolphin. I think we'd have a lot to talk about.

Oh and Mr. Darcy.
