About Me

I really really like to laugh. I tend to find all kinds of things funny. I also enjoy talking to people, I will proactivily start a conversation with anyone interested. I'll admit I enjoy catching people unaware by surprise with friendly inquiry about their day or some whimsical thought provoking question. I like people. I love making friends.
I'm drawn to creative things. I cheer for the underdog. I compete to win. I HATE to lose but if I do I want to win at being the best loser. I am not the average run of the mill guy.
I am from Louisiana and now reside in New Hampshire. I play video games, watch anime, read fiction, write, I love rummy (the card game) and chess, and have a desire to start making movies. I've never been very "sportsy" or "athletic" but since you don't break a sweat from breathing in the great north I figured I'd give walking mountain trails, boating in lakes, skiing and things of that nature a try.
I love Jesus, I'm a novice piano and gutar player and despite my not so pretty voice I will sing along. :)

My Interests

There is this big puzzle with many pieces. The border is a nice place to start. From there you slowly move deeper to the center. The internalizing focus says a lot, eventually with time you get a clear picture. What once was shattered is made whole. Puzzles... puzzling.I write, if you want to read some of my stuff check it out at http://www.writerscafe.org/writers/fathem/writerscafe.org

I'd like to meet:

Maybe some aquatic life, I miss fire flies. I would like to meet some fireflies and ducks that don't attack you when you feed them. Those attacking ducks are communists, at least thats my theory.
---------------------
I like quirky people. Individuals who read, artsy and musical types tend to be my favorites, I love to write so if you write I am bound to want to read everything you have written and start a club with you, (This is a very broken cumbersome sentence.) folks who are open and honest tend to win me over. I often give people the benifit of the doubt. Folks who love for Jesus seem to be rare commodity. I could walk all day long and be happy. Kites are cool. It would be nice to have someone new to play in chess or another rummy enthusist. :

Music:

I tend to make up little songs in my head when I'm working. It would help if I could actually play an instrument competently or carry a tune.. or have rythem...Waterdeep, mary's den, ben manuel, kevin prosh (I dont know how to spell his name), ben barnes, Trey peirson, Christina Villalobos, halfhanded clouds.

Movies:

Movies are a wonderful way to pass the time.Gattica, harvey, 12 monkeys, night of the iguana.

Television:

I am allergic to animals. Being in a house with animals or a house that has had animals is a horrable experience for me.Boston Legal, Lost. Anime- currently Naruto, Bleach, and One piece.

Books:

I read a book about rabbits and I liked it. So now I think anyone with two eyes and the unction to read should be reading about rabbits too. Its silly/juvinille but unless you read it you can't aruge with me on any level of substance. Watership down.

Heroes:

I like my sandwhiches dressed with blueplate mayo and a cheese type only.Jesus the Christ.

My Blog

I cant see you because you are standing in the light.

Recently my eye sight has diminished. I noticed that my ability to see things at a distance and make them out has become less than adequate. I was walking down the hallway on the second floor o...

I apparently have some unresolved issues.

I dreamed all night last night that I was chasing after Alison Weil. Somehow in New York somewhere I managed to find her and corner her. I went on to appologise for being lame for years and years then...

Read me on a sunday, laugh with me for a while.

Every day I think of filling empty pages. I think of writing to you. Of how your day has been. Of how we share these moments together. The limitless smiles, laughs, sighs, tears, groaning, and whimsi...

I was writing on a piece of paper.

The wary eye wanders without discernment through windows, white walls bare. Mentally whistling, aimless, in the empty places, eccoing through the unoccupied mind. An incidental smile blooms then slac...
