About Me

I’m a skilled bridge burner. Some bridges, however, are fire proof. They turn out to be my friends in the long run. I can’t kill anything. Disney has programmed me into thinking that everything is alive and it has a grandma, with a great song to sing, eventually. I hate Lynyrd Skynyrd. I have this recurring fear that my biological father might have been a Lynyrd Skynyrd roadie just passing through Memphis, where I was born. I have separation anxiety. When my dog steps out to pee I begin chewing on the furniture. It is to the extent that I do not separate a bottle from its bottle cap before I throw it away. I make sure it is tightly fastened, so that neither the cap nor the bottle will be separated in the trash. I believe Millsaps is primarily a playground for squirrels, and its position as a college is secondary. When I see the sun rise I get nervous. Larry David is my Buddha. Everyone is going to die. This kind of bothers me. Is it just me? I think the whole birth process is a seriously bad idea. Why not like a beam of light and "poof" there you are? Why all of the fluid and screaming? "I am an American Aquarium drinker . . . let's tongue-tied lightning . . ." I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
