About Me


A little piece of the mind I share with others, until I find the wit to express what has been said below in one sentence:
"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to change the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This Makes it hard to plan the day." ~ E.B. White
"We always seek the eternal everywhere save here; we always turn our mind's eye toward something beyond the present moment and the present reality; or else we await death, as though each instant were not death and rebirth. Each instant offers new life to us. Today, now, this moment ... is all we can seize." ~André Maurois
"In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways." ~ Edith Wharton
"We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." ~Charles Bukowski

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


A licentiously cynical misanthrope and a bottle of Absinthe, or perhaps an opium-influenced Ambrose Bierce.
