About Me


I read, I write, I love to talk and laugh....A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly.Specialization is for insects.~Robert A. Heinlein
The Notebook of Lazarus Long.Looking for love is like looking for a diamond in a large pile of broken glass, and you are on top searching down for it with your bare hands.Very simple. To avoid total karmic meltdown, and utter disgusted nausea, and suicidal tendencies, and the banging of ones skull into the brick wall of cultural ignorance six hours a day: focus on yourself. You do everything in your power on a day-to-day basis to crank your own divinity, and suck the big toe of your own personal Jesus and discover that the God that you seek is actually you, is your own true self, and you beam that healthy sexy wet individual robustness out to the world every goddamn day. Minimize the refined sugar and the garbage and maximize the orgasmic sighs and the organic highs and the holistic everything. What, you want me to tell you to email your senator? As if. Kiss with everything you’ve got, love deep, fuck with full intent, feel the divine hot breath on your skin at every possible moment, buy the best wine you can afford, read your ass off, hunker down, and scream your joy. There.Some people never go crazy, what horrible lives they must lead.I am a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I am perfect.Reality continues to ruin my life.
- Calvin

Television:

TV is mostly a huge wasteland. I do enjoy "Good Eats" once in a while, but other than that I mostly watch shows on DVD. No commercials.

Books:

Yes, please!!!! I have one tall bookshelf and two small ones in my home and they are literally overflowing with books. I need to either buy more shelves or stop buying books. Yeah, come to think of it, that second option really isn't an option. Stop buying books. *snort* As if. I adore reading. I have sci fi, fantasy, horror...Anne Rice, Stephen King, Peter Straub, Spider Robinson, Robert Heinlein, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Mercedes Lackey, Dean Koontz....buckets of stuff. Non-fiction, too. The Kama Sutra, various self-help and medical books, yoga....all sorts of things. Yay, books!!!!

Heroes:

Pfft. Heroes. The only heroes I have are those people who live life the way they want to with no excuses and no regrets. I wish I was one of them. I am, some days.
