They said to put one foot in front of the other, but I, Sir, am a Monkey. I prefer to travel by tree

About Me



I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

At heart, I'm a goofy, gregarious, trivia-obsessed creature of habit.
I hate letting other people drive.
When I get stressed out I have nightmares about tornadoes and break out in hives.
I don't have many good jokes and am a total sucker for fantastic fonts, daring design, comical copy and all things alliterative.

I love losing myself in a book and, if I had my dithers, would be traveling the world writing and researching The Geek's Guide to the Universe.
I have a four year old Rat Terrier named Pig.

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."--Albert Einstein

Be (cause)...

To scream, primal fear, anger, pain, frustration ripping out for others (myself) to hear, to understand, to feel, when words have failed so far. To move (again)--do I dig heels in sand, do I fly (in ...

Earthquakes and Tremors

Today they came back--the unsettling, the shaking fingertips, the nightmares ripping sleep at the seams--and I begin again (falling) to stop the rush and crumble that follows earth's upheaval. Heavin...

Pistol-whipped seems so cliche...

As the years tick by, the same question lingers on these lips.

Will this heart of mine ever stop it's fickle pitter patter, twitterpated flutterings that fluster, tingle, twinge and cause its edges to fray and fracture? I hope not...but damn if it hasn't turned ...

Studying my topographical map of life...and a segue.

I woke up this morning from an incredibly dark and unsettling dream that came to a close as I was being chased by evil dead pirates into the twisted bowels of some dank and dirty city. You may assume...

We Come Undone

It is 5:50 p.m and I am not getting home from work or slaving away at homework. I, in fact, have left my house only once, in order to drop off a package at FedEx and walk Pig. This realization disgu...
