About Me

I love my feminist boyfriend (tremendously), records, smoking, and AmVets. I don't love widespread poverty, ignorance, consumerism, genocide, people who hit their kids,
or the degenerates who shop at AmVets.

"Oh Billy... You finally got an A.
How do you like them apples?"

But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies,
and I shambled after as I've been doing all my life
after people who interest me,
because the only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk,
mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing
but burn, burn, burn...

- Jack Kerouac, On the Road

It's not much, but at least it's a start. I'm still a loser, but slightly less than before. Probably about time.
