About Me

"I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."

Je sais.

I have found true happiness in contradicting Blaise Pascal. I'll help you find your's if you only ask.

"I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room."- B.P.

Smile for the camera, kids.

just a metaphor and reminder

A confident man approaches a woman at the bar of a metropolitan pub. Twenty-something, well-dressed, smart, assertive. He sweats intrepidity. He asks the minx if she has a light. She says she doesn't ...
