About Me

Well ABC, NBC, CBS: Bullshit.
They give us fact or fiction? I guess an even split.
And each new act of war is tonight's entertainment.
We're still the pawns in their game.
As they take eye for an eye until no one can see,
we must stumble blindly forward, repeating history.
Well, I guess we all fit into your slogan
on the fast food marquee:
Red blooded, White skinned oh and the Blues.
Oh and the Blues, I got the Blues! That's me!
- B.E.

My Interests

Writing, reading, gaming, thinking, being lazy (it's an art), being a good friend, trying, catching up with friends, meeting new friends, dodging oncoming traffic, ambushing soviet soldiers in high grass, time travel, inciting riots, watching everyone else drink the kool-aid, world domination, deciphering Jhonen Vasquez, strange memory phenomena, creating apocalyptic non-existant battles, not waking up for three days, haunting ghosts, strange unexplained psychic powers that are most likely hoaxes, suppressing my id, and probably other normal everyday happy go lucky activities.
