About Me

Perpetually on the verge of success, I’m planning the future for philanthropic enjoyment. As you can tell, I have yet, to pimp my space, but then again, I'm from the school of "less is more." Hard work begets hard play.
"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."WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not

Failing To Remember

What may seem like a thousand miles away, a school of thought persists, born before myself, that Syd Barrett’s dismissal from The Pink Floyd has left an insipid hole in the "true" meaning of the...
