i think a question unanswered is worse than an answer you dont want to hear

About Me

i work in a lab and study law at the same time. trying to write something that resembles a book, im trying to learn something without textbooks, id like to one day understand some intracies, some human nature and remember my personal experiences with humour. I would like to know more about medicine, psychology, some philosophy, and how to build a house with my bare hands. Tomorrow i will be different; some days im cynical and angry, others im light and laughable. Its all a mess, its all a ride, there are shady spots and sun spots, with a few decent poems along the way. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

"Where are we going", though I had a feeling like a spider down my spine that I knew exactly. It happens to the best of us, we ask an already answered question, but it gets thrown around as if the wor...
