About Me

not much chance, completely cut loose from purpose, he was a young man riding a bus through North Carolina on the way to somewhere and it began to snow and the bus stopped at a little cafe in the hills and the passengers entered. he sat at the counter with the others, he ordered and the food arived. the meal was particularly good and the coffee. the waitress was unlike the women he had known. she was unaffected, there was a natural humor which came from her. the fry cook said crazy things. the dishwasher. in back, laughed, a good clean pleasant laugh. the young man watched the snow through the windows. he wanted to stay in that cafe forever. the curious feeling swam through him that everything was beautiful there, that it would always stay beautiful there. then the bus driver told the passengers that it was time to board. the young man thought, I'll just sit here, I'll just stay here. but then he rose and followed the others into the bus. he found his seat and looked at the cafe through the bus window. then the bus moved off, down a curve, downward, out of the hills. the young man looked straight foreward. he heard the other passengers speaking of other things, or they were reading or attempting to sleep. they had not noticed the magic. the young man put his head to one side, closed his eyes, pretended to sleep. there was nothing else to do- just to listen to the sound of the engine, the sound of the tires in the snow.~Charles Bukowski, "Nirvana"

My Interests

Basketball, Disc golf, Music, anything outdoors, crafts, gettin' down at kick ass concerts

I'd like to meet:

anyone really cool and down to earth. I believe there are friends and family no matter where you travel to. You just got to know where to look.

Music:

.. width="425" height="350" ..

I like any band or artist in my "Friends" section and a ton that aren't.I love all types of music.I did have absolute favs in mind to post, but I decided to not to do it because I have so many of them....Just ask.

Movies:

Anything really stupid. Too many to mention. Bunuel is crazy! So is Bergman.

Television:

.. width="425" height="350" ..Adult Swim. Merry Melodies. Mostly cartoons. Reality TV can kiss my ass.

Books:

I've gotten really in to Carl Sagan, lately. His vocabulary is incredable! Also, Stephen King's non-horror novels are really good (but Carrie is a classic). Umm.... T.C. Boyle, Joseph Conrad, Emily Dickinson, my boy Samuel Taylor Coloridge, Orwell, Ovid's Metamorphasis, Childhood's End is pretty cool. Lots of books that were made in to movies because movies don't explain enough. Sphere by Michael Crichton is extreamly good. I need to pick up an Isaac Asimov book.

Heroes:

.. width="425" height="350" ..Dave Jones, Patricia Gail Ketterer, Marky Ketterer, The Tanski family, The Oliver's, Janine Palludan, Mikey Procilo, Marc Spina, Dave Thorngate, Helen Macuk... so many more.

he told me not to hold his world up

Lately I've been kind of down; basic winter depression. I'm not too worried about it but it causes me to think that everything that I do and say effects others in a negative way. The...
