About Me

I'm not sure how possible it is to define how it is to inhabit my particular sack of skin & bones & stuff & that. Hell, i'm still trying to work it out for myself... But ok ok, what's the harm in trying? Well, my myspace URL is Fragezeichen. Fragezeichen is the german word for question mark and it kinda ties in with the fact i have a tattoo of a question mark on my left arm. And why is it that i have a tattooed question mark on my arm, you may - or may not - ask? Good question. To answer this query of zeitgeist-sodomising importance: 1. Questions are great, really great. And not just a little fantastic. With all the bullshit we all have to deal with - like, all the frickin time - questions are often good ways to ask just what is going the hell on. Slamming your fist down & shouting 'FLIPPING HECK, I'M WELL MIFFED & I WANT SOME ANSWERS, MATEY!!' also might get you somewhere. 2. In the great scheme of things i am quite thoroughly clueless... and obviously thought advertising that fact would be a smart idea. 3. Doctor Who Rocks. 4. I enjoy cretins asking me if i realise that i have a question mark on my arm. Gee, thanks for letting me know, champ, finally i have an explanation for that sharp stinging sensation that i felt a couple of years ago while i was sitting in a tattoo parlour next to a tattooist... 5. Just because. 6. oh fuck it, if you ain't happy with the first five, there's obviously no pleasing you... So, any the wiser about me? No, me neither...
