About Me


> Some people see the cup as half full. Others see the cup as half empty. I see the cup as too big.

Better is a handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Transcendent visionaries, intrepid librarians, mercurial dilettantes, idiosyncratic fashionistas, various and sundry prophets, literati, nutters, gypsies, and philosophers (coffeehouse and other), avant garde artists, human oddities, bohemians of all types, as well as assorted denizens of the planet Earth. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
