Here's
all you need to know about me: I'm the same age as my tounge, and
a little older than my teeth, I vote democrat by reflex, but only
because the alternatives are so poor, and I love the concept of humanity
and people in general, but very few of them specifically.
Folks who I list as my heroes include, but are not limited to: Thomas
Jefferson, Thomas
Paine, Muhammed
Ali, Walt Whitman,
Audie Murphy ,
Emporor
Joshua Norton, George Carlin,
Robert Anton Wilson,
R. Buckminster
Fuller, Richard Feynman,
and Rosa Parks.
According to the Kiersey
Temerament Sorter, I seem to fall into the category of INTJ,
for whatever that may be worth. I am a firm believer, however, that
no one can be defined precisely by bin-sorting. The map is not the
territory, and the description on the menu ain't the meal.
Specifics? I grew up in and around Connecticut. Relatively happy child
of the 80s- with all the sterotypical trappings;Metal
Lunch boxes, Star
Wars figures, Rubiks
Cubes, HAPPY
DAYS posters, Evil
Kaneval motorcyle toys, Atari
2600, HE-MAN
AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, the whole proverbial nine yards.
I grow increasingly horrified that all these things are considered
"retro-chic." Like Prufrock, it soon will be my time to
wear my trousers rolled.
I am married to the most wonderful and amazing woman I have ever had
the privilege to know. How I convinced someone like her to give me
the time of day, much less love me, is an ineffable mystery to me.
But one for which I am eternally grateful. Simply put, she's the best.
I have a million and three acquaintances, and about 7 good friends,
none of whom I see as much as I should.
I am in love with the Internet, and think that it is the one of the
most important inventions and concepts that we opposable-thumbed primates
have ever made for ourselves. I feel it is Jung's Collective Unconscious
made into an electronic reality-a mass brain that exists by way of
circuitous pathways and connections that span the world. And that,
much like the brain, people only use a pitiful percentage of it's
ability. And, also like the brain, a goodly amount of that small percentage
for porn.
What else? I love my pets far more than I do my fellow man, and I'm
a huge fan of Mike Myers, Jim Henson, Kevin Smith, Chris Rock, David
Letterman, The West Wing, and NBC's ED.. Although, not neccessarily
in that order.
That's me in a nutshell.
