About Me

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers"~Cliff.

My Interests

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

I'd like to meet:

"I always keep a supply of Whiskey handy in case I see a snake--which I also keep handy."~W.C. Handy"He who blinded by ambition, raises himself to a position whence he cannot mount higher, must thereafter fall with the greatest loss."..Niccolo Machiavelli"Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish."~Euripides"I never dared to be radical when young For fear it would make me conservative when old."~Robert Frost"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."~Henry David Thoreau"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live."~Henry David Thoreau"He who establishes his argument by noise and command, shows that his reason is weak."~Montainge"I can't listen to that much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquer Poland."~Allen'Whenever I hear people talking about "liberal ideas," I am always astounded that men should love to fool themselves with empty sounds. An idea should never be liberal; it must be vigorous, positive, and without loose ends so that it may fulfill its divine mission and be productive. The proper place for liberality is in the realm of the emotions."~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Music:

Cosmic American Music--Thanks Gram. I hate the compartmentalizations also.

Movies:

Scorsese, Tarantino, Eastwood, Aronofsky ('cept for batman), Anderson ('cept for life aquatic)

Television:

Books:

The doors of perception, Waiting for Godot, Steppenwolf, and will likely begin rereading Don Quixote after those.

ANDREW "DICE" CLAY: "Then, I'll spin her around the dance floor. CAUSE!.......i can move."
