About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
i am...
a hopelessly realistic idealist (somewhat jaded perhaps, but not quite cynical)
inherently honest and forthright (have been told that i have an "honesty fetish")
painfully self-aware
a musical poet. i write as it is how my soul speaks. i sing as it is how my soul breathes. i dance as it is how my soul moves. my creative output is the purest expression of who i am.
an incessant babbler
a survivor
"strrrong like bull"
committed essentially to two things - the tiny grasp i have left on my sanity and my son
several acronyms are applicable (my favorite is tattooed on the back of my neck)
proceed with a sense of humour and a lot of salt... oh yeah, and maybe a little objective compassion every now and then...but no pity please. thanks.
"SHUN THE NON-BELIEVERS!"
(really, watch closely and think about it in the context of north american consumer capitalism)
ALONE
by Edgar Allan Poe
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then–in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life–was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
... i tend to be somewhere in between:

Pog mo thoin
Pog mo thoin - 'Kiss my ass.'You're one tough bastard, and if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss your ass. You enjoy fighting and causing grievous bodily harm. Hey! What are you lookin' at, punk?

Is maith liom bananai
Is maith liom bananai - 'I like bananas.'You're laid-back and you enjoy the simple things in life. Some might say you're a little too laid-back. Just what is it you're smoking, anyway?Take the quiz: "Which Random Irish Gaelic Phrase Are You? "

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

charlie the unicorn
kindred spirits
real people - those who define themselves from within, not without
