"I was born a poor black child..." No seriously The Jerk is an all time favorite but no I'm white or caucasian or pale... whatever all I know is I turn red under direct sunlight. I don't know why I am doing this My Space thing... sure I do but it probably will not work.
I'm 35, I'm in the Army, I like my job as I think it takes a certain unique personality to do what a soldier does. Uh... in this present age (an old Chinese curse says "May you live in interesting times") I deal with ridicule and applause from people who don't even know me. Strange to be so popular while remaining nameless and faceless.
I am divorced, happily divorced, with three of what I consider the greatest kids in the world. I wouldn't be a good father if I didn't think that. They are the reason I do good things in this world instead of bad.
I'm now in Kansas (is that pronounced Kin-saw...get it Arkansas...Kansas...ah never mind) so I now know what it feels like once again to be isolated from the rest of the world... meh atleast they have strip clubs (dumb Valdez).
-UPDATE- I'm in Iraq now... it is definitely the place I am supposed to be. Jolly Green Giants roaming the earth and all.-END UPDATE-
It has been two years now since I began this site dedicated to all that is me. It has been fun at times, but I just realized that 1064 people have viewed my... space. Pun totally intended. While most of those views may in fact be just the robotic tendencies of a few pimps selling there illicit wares over, and over again under assumed identities (thanks for the invite ladies). So be it, they still count. Now it's a numbers game. The legitimate number may be a bit less but still interesting to me.
I almost feel bad that these people have wasted there time reading the drivel that I have placed here, but it was put here mostly for me to write rather than for any one person to read. I also realized that I write a lot of stuff on here that I think is funny, but probably isn't. Caveat emptor. I also think that no one appreciates Latin anymore. It is quite probable that no one actually gets to read a lot of what is written here because there is a lot written here. In fact about 50 percent of the people who started reading at the top stopped about midway, clicked on my pics link, gave the pictures there a cursory glance, then continued mission. Regardless, I find myself feeling that this has become the worst kind of conceitedness. A Super Saiyan Ego that even Freud could not imagine. Or Kant for that matter. I feel a little ashamed, rightly so.
I see this mastodonic conceitedness on the virtual meat market that MySpace was, is, will be, and quite honestly was always intended to be. People selling themselves online, instead of in the street (this statement is very true and you should read some of these profiles). Some people will say it's for children or Gen Y, but my searches show a magnitude of people who once probably wrote code on a seven inch floppy disc using a first generation Apple computer. Or at least dabbled in MS-DOS. Nothing wrong with any of this of course, just wondering where my place in all of it is.
"What is our purpose in life?" The eternal question relegated to a few lines of html.
