MySpace a place for friends

-Captain Corelli's Mandolin

"I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music."

-George Eliot

"My stories run up and bite me in the leg -- I respond by writing them down - everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off."

"This is what life is all about. Friends and family. Eating ice cream. Caring about each other. Because one day you're gone. "

-Francis Rodino

"Sometimes you have to create the thing you want to be part of."

-Howard Schultz

"That experience, connecting with a stranger and falling recklessly in love is one of life's greatest joys. And now that you're married, you'll never experience it again. It's the price you pay for everlasting love. A small price, but I hope it stings a little."

-xkcd

"Science has shown that music really can kill pain, reduce stress, better your brain and basically change how you experience life."

-Live Science, October 2008

You. Why? Well, why not? The world is buzzing. If you stop for a second, you'll hear the buzz. There's so much "ness" to the world, and I want to absorb it all like some squishy international kitchen sponge.

I want to meet people with flavour. I want to meet people who still eat Cheerios in their thirties (bonus points if they do so while wearing bunny slippers). Have you ever done something ridiculous just because you felt passion to do so? I'd like to meet you. Ever bought champagne just because it's Tuesday? You, too.

I want to meet people who have gone from unsure, to sure, and back again (maybe even in the same night). I want to meet people who stop and take off their shoes while on a routine walk to the mailbox, just because the grass feels so good.

I want to meet people with different opinions. I want to chat with people whose parents never spoke much English. I want to spend my Friday and Saturday nights with people who will help me chase new unicorns. If you're a soul who stuck to the straight and narrow, but then said fuck it all on a whim and a heartbeat...then let me buy you dinner.

I think life is too short to wallow. I like to treat each day like a piece of citrus fruit, and I'm squeezing as many drops out of it as I can. Call me if you'd like a drink.

To all who stay up too late, eat too much cheesecake and like their music loud enough to "feel it"...cheers.
