About Me



What Famous Leader Are You?
personality tests by similarminds.comI hate it when people telephone me and then ask, "Who's this?" Phone etiquette of that kind results in an immediate ass whooping. Ass-whoopings of that sort involve a "gangster blue" courduroy house shoe. Gangster blue courduroy house shoes involve an affiliation with gangsters. Gangsters of that sort involve a hood mentality. A mentality of that pedigree involves a man that is trying to find his way out. The way out of this maze involves making time the most prized possesion. Possesions of this sort involve the ability to let go. The ability to let go requires that you ask in return, "Who's this?"

Retrospective: 6 months away from the States.

Eight hours in Hong Kong is about enough to get 5 hours in the city.  Where did I get that estimate?  Your guess is as good as mine.  I'm thinking that if I feel up to it, I might just venture into th...
