About Me

************************************************************ ************** I was born by the river in a little tent and just like that river I've been running ever since. It's been a long, long time coming but I know change is going to come... ************************************************************ ************** I was born with a curious mind & frequently wonder why everyone wasn't. I have nothing against television except when it's turned on, yet I'm addicted to films & watch them on tv. CURIOUS I get frequently annoyed by people who seem to confuse "real life" with "reality television" & confuse watching sports with playing them. i'm amazed how the advent of cell phones has thrown all ideas of sound & public space etiquette out the window. And...texting? huh? Are those people with the blank stares & heads connected to winding wires and headphones on the subway CIA? Are they human? (i guess it depends on what they're listening to) ************************************************************ *********** I'll start eating meat when i can bring myself to kill it. So for now I'm stuck with veggies, fruits & the occasional baby seal.
