About Me

"Drank too much
And I said too much
And there's nowhere to go - but down."


i'll never remember a name, but rarely forget a face.
my midlife crisis seems to have begun a bit early.
i've got sound advice for everyone but myself.

surrogate boyfriend.
platonic safety net.
reluctant cynic.
horse's ass.

"When the life of people is unmoral, and their relations are not based on love, but on egoism, then all technical improvements, the increase of man's power over nature, steam, electricity, the telegraph, every machine, gunpowder, and dynamite, produce the impression of dangerous toys placed in the hands of children." - Leo Tolstoy

I miss

when when we actually had to work for our information. When verbal communication was more important than typed-words-per-minute and bandwidth. Yeah I know, how ironic that I'm using myspace to voice t...
