About Me

I cannot tell what you and other men think of this life, but for my single self, I had as lief not be as live to be in awe of such a thing as I myself. (Shak.)----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- I tend to spend most of my free time shooting pool. Otherwise, I kick it with friends, read fiction, or attempt to solve ludicrously difficult mechanical puzzles. Heroes include Hunter S. Thompson, the real Patch Adams, Julia Butterfly and possibly W.C. Fields. -------------- aim/ym: uptownb0y (usually invisible) ---------- "Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two..." -- Monty Python
