About Me



You wouldn't believe me if I told you and you couldn't begin to guess.
Visit Chat Noir Photographie
"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent, but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." - Stanley Kubrick
"The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends, and the other begins?"-Edgar Alan Poe "We're the middle children of history.... no purpose or place. We have no Great War, no Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives." - Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
"I guess one person can make a difference, but most of the time, they probably shouldn't." - Matt Groening

Back to the chop shop

The final determination was made today. I'll be back in surgery on March 22nd so try not to expect much until afterwards. Sleepless nights, bitter anxiety, & additional scarring to follow....
