It is the Self, the individual Mind, that contains immortality and ultimate truth."

About me: Hi there! How are you? How's work going? I'm sorry, I'm sorry... this is supposed to be about me, isn't it? Well, what can I tell you about myself? I guess being me all day long makes it difficult for me to judge me objectively. If I were a policeman, I'd say something like: "white male, mid thirties, 5 foot nine, medium build. Short brown hair, hazel eyes. Several tattoos as distinguishing features." If I were an anthropologist I'd probably think of me as an excellent example of the decline in America's core values as the country struggles through its transition from balanced superpower to senescent post-imperial decadence. If I were a psychologist or some other variety of head doctor, I'd probably throw up my hands in disgust and recommend that this specimen be quarantined for the greater good of society. I used to say about myself "I'm like a cheap Oscar Wilde. But straight." Nowadays I just fall back on paraphrasing Douglas Adams: "I'm just this guy, y'know?"... to quote my sweet AME: "You're not straight, you're just heterosexual."
Most recently: "hypomanic"

“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, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'” -J. Kerouac
hey, just wanted to tell you...thanks for you and Sheri's help kindof giving me confidence. I turned down a pretty "big time" job today b/c they sucked. It's good to know when NOT to let them do getcha do two jobs, no matter HOW much they'll pay ya. Y'all are great coaches. Thanks x 100. You don't even know. Hope Easter was good!
