About Me

'Thirty friends on a friendlist

go towards the hub that is the center

-but look, there is noone at the center .............
and that is precisely how MySpace works!

If you mould a cup ............. you have to make a hollow;
it is the emptiness within it that makes is useful.

On a blog or a profile ............. it is the empty spaces
between the text boxes, the pictures of friends - that make it readable.

They all use what they are made of
to define who they think they are,

but without their nothingness they would be nothing.'

-Tao Te Ching, Ch. 11 (slightly modified)

My Interests

Not getting enough out of your Myspace experience ? Too bad. Join a group .

Webcomics I like. I'm a geek.

I'd like to meet:
