About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
"I had nothing to offer anyone but my own confusion." -Jack Kerouac, On The RoadMy name is Bill. I learned everything I need to know about life from The Simpsons, The Wizard of Oz, and Winnie the Pooh. I collect martini glasses, Buddhas, randomly selected Pez dispensers, and political campaign buttons. I like espresso, gin martinis, oatmeal cookies, seafood, Chinese food, fireworks, flamingos, lava lamps, cats, dogs, autumn, buffaloes, weird stuff you find in dollar stores, sunsets, and smart people. All things considered, I’d rather be riding my bike or reading—but not necessarily at the same time. I am a good listener. For some reason, people often ask for my advice. So, please—be my guest.
