Awww crap, I'm in a time-warp

About Me



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

I was born in a Belarusian hospital. There was no anesthesia. I was taken home and allowed to grow up a little (about 7 years). Then I was put on a train to Poland, then on another one to Austria, and on another one to Italy. We threw a television off of the roof of our 9 story apartment. It blew up. Two months later I was dragged onto an airplane and flown to the hustle and bustle of the U.S.A. where, over the span of 16 years (so far), my parents watched me turn into a strange Russian/American hybrid of whom they were not sure what to think. Now I'm 24 and not sure what to think of myself either. I'm to self-critical to say something of myself that will sell. You might like me and you might not. So I'll spare you a self-indulgent explanation of my idiosyncrasies. If you want to know something, ask. I'm honest. Read the blog if you want.

My Interests

Music (all but country, and Johnny Cash doesn't count), Hockey, Soccer, Football, Billiards, things that go fast and might cause me to break a limb, chicks with British accents, the shape of a woman's body, a good pair of jeans, my guitar, not so much my amp, long raod-trips where you get lost and pissed off and then find your way back, sushi, writing, reading, laughing at the absurdity of life...and probably a bunch of other shit that I don't feel like listing right now

I'd like to meet:

doesn't matter really...whoever has two legs and two arms, two shoes, and two gloves, perhaps. Actually, I'd like to meet someone from another planet so they can give me an unbiased opinion of the human race.As long as your human in the most complicated sense I'd like to meet you. Don't really like dumb-asses though, unless it's an act, then it becomes entertaining.

Is anyone even mildly curious, or has any idea what the hell I'm writing about.  I for one am curious and haven't the slightest.  I think, perhaps, it's some sort of rant with absurdity enme...

Why not

I haven't written a blog in about 4 months, maybe more.  I know all three of you sat at home consumed with a sense of loss.  Fidgeting and overwrought, stroking your pets vigorously to overc...

The Geezer and the Neurotic Collide 1

Bedlam slithered into our home like an insidious serpent.  It had been writhing around the house ever since gramps and his thunderous personality arrived.  It was the inevitable in-law clash...

The time went by fast in Israel.  We got up before the sun was up almost daily, preparing for the next tour, or making pita sandwiches with humus for the upcoming drive.  We perused the coun...
