About Me

It doesn't matter what I type here. Nothing I say will give you an accurate idea of who I am. I'm not going to try to sum myself up in words. I don't know what to make of any person who can sum themselves up in a few sentences or paragraphs... They are either much more self aware than I am, or much less... or neither, perhaps they are just more articulate than I. Anyway, I don't really know what to make of myself, so I can't help you. Perhaps you could get to know me and help ME figure it out since I'm having such trouble with the whole equation. Regardless, you aren't going to get anything useful from this particular section of my profile, so you should probably stop reading now. Of course I'm done now, so you were gonna have to stop reading anyway. James --

What is your stand on.....
Abortion?: more people should do it... there are too many of us and most people suck
Death Penalty?: Two wrongs don't make a right
Prostitution?: eh as long as the hustlers stay out of my bar I don't care
Alcohol?: I sell it for a living, but it's not my drug of choice
Marijuana?: more people should do it
Other drugs?: Depends on the drug and the person taking it. Some are amazing life changing experiences. While others will fuck you up forever.
Gay marriage?: I don't know why ANYONE would want to get married, but no one should be denied the option if they really want to be legally bound to put up with the same person’s bullshit until they fucking die.
Illegal immigrants?: it's funny how many people are clamoring to get into this country. I guess they figure they're less likely to get bombed here. Except maybe by those evildoer terrorists who were trained by the CIA.
Smoking?: I do it, I'm quitting (again) soonish, it's gross and bad for you, don't start kid.
Drunk driving?: It's amazing how many people do it. Call a cab, dumbass
Cloning?: yeah that's what we need, exact copies of the douchebags that are already here.
Racism?: I am not a fan, I don't think anyone should be judged based on race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. There are much better reasons to hate your fellow man ;O)
Premarital sex?: well duh, you don't want to buy the cow and then find out the milk is totally unfulfilling and bad. And where are you gonna learn how not to be unfulfilling and bad if you don’t get lots of practice.
Religion?: Is spelled with 4 letters where I come from. Spirituality is ok, but it's personal and unique to each individual, and that doesn't mean you can't still talk to Jesus. Jesus was a really cool guy. He also happened to be a socialist revolutionary who was exicuted as an ememy of the state of Rome (much like he would be if he were in the US today). Just try not to be a douchebag and do what feels right to you rather than what you've been conditioned and scared into doing. If God is really love then he won't send you to hell for thinking for yourself.
The war in Iraq?: Wow, where do I start... Let me just say that I am ashamed of what my country has become. Thomas Jefferson would be appalled.
Bush?: Karl Rove can sell ANYTHING. I mean ice to an Eskimo... he could sell COLD to an Eskimo. And his puppet masters are evil, greedy, sons of bitches who make me kind of want to hope hell exists.
Downloading music?: It's fine, most artists just want their music to be heard and appreciated. You're not stealing from the Artists anyway; you're stealing from record companies that are stealing from the artists. The artists generally make the lions share of their income (which they use to pay off their debt to the afore mentioned record companies) from touring and merch. Go to their shows and buy their stuff.
The legal drinking age?: If you can be sent to die for corporate profits, vote for the people that make the decisions to send you, and go to real adult jail (insert OZ theme here) at 18, you should be able to have a beer too.
Porn?: Is the funniest stuff in the world. You just know that some of those people were molested, but their emotional wreackage is a source of endless hours of humorous entertainment
Suicide?: more of the RIGHT people should do it.

My Interests

Music, Good Movies (despite how few and far between they have been as of late), Computers (games and other crap), Politics, Philosophy, Stalking, and Role Playing Games

I'd like to meet:

..

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul, if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!"

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
