Got to get you into my life!

About Me

I exist in clicks and beeps. Short bursts of notation upon a napkin or piece of paper defines me. A slave to preconceived notions and a lover of banal minutiae. I craft witticisms, alter pop culture to my own likings, though I would cease to exist without it. I have been told I am flighty and unrealistic in my wishes and behaviors. I agree with this, as, up to now my rantings and bemoaning were that of an unfiltered and unrefined mind. Nothing unique springing from it. But like the primordial soup, both digital and otherwise, things have started to cook.I think humor should be taken more seriously. Kind of like a banana peel holding a bazooka. I am trying to be good. Or something.We'll see."The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Henry David Thoreau.Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.Sweaty meaty stupid apes.

I'd like to meet:

Dana Scully.Skeletor. Lord Vader. Satan. Dr. Doom. KHAN Noonien Singh. Montgomery Burns. Lex Luthor. Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg. Biff Tannen.No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change: Thy pyramids built up with newer might To me are nothing novel, nothing strange; They are but dressings of a former sight. Our dates are brief, and therefore we admire What thou dost foist upon us that is old; And rather make them born to our desire Than think that we before have heard them told. Thy registers and thee I both defy, Not wondering at the present nor the past, For thy records and what we see doth lie, Made more or less by thy continual haste. This I do vow and this shall ever be; I will be true despite thy scythe and thee. -William Shakespeare
