About Me

28 years is kind of a long time to sum up in a paragraph, but, never being one to back down from a challenge, let's give it a go: first cold, wet and cranky, then warm, soft and content, then both alternately for the duration; quite ignorant initially, but showing promise for the memorization of all manner of facts, figures, phonemes, and phone numbers; a general suspicion of authority figures; obstinately maturing to gradually accept death, taxes, and an isolated, individualistic perspective contrarily subsumed, like all humans, by a social latticework of cultural custom and mores; comically seeks reason and understanding; predominantly male, both biologically and gender-specifically; more American than not. Still can't read. Shameful.

pictures of Rome

I got a new digital camera before my trip. This is about 1/3 of the pics I took there, but the free Flickr account won't let me upload anymore. I'll probably buy the upgrade, but until the...
