no, the world does not revolve around you. in fact for that matter it doesn't even revolve around me (anymore). it revolves around the two most amazing things to have ever happened to me... Moraevia Kay and David Ilan Kosma.
no more exotically boring person. though still i am an enigma even to those who know me well. and to myself.
the fallacy of a shadow stain is temporarily down during relocation
got me a podcast. clicky (also down during relocation...sorry). listen. devour. enjoy... or not. your choice. just check it. updated when i feel like it.
biggest pet peeve: assholes. you know who i mean.
second biggest pet peeve: love. and all the hurt and anguish and anger that comes with it.
never leave the one you love
for the one you like
because the one you like will leave you
for the one they love
blah. you know nothing. none of us know anything.
that's why the question? was invented.
my two fave radio dj's, for those who have such curiosities - Jim Ladd & Jed the Fish. don't ask me which i like better; i can't decide.
M.C. Escher and Ansel Adams are gods and should be respected as such. oh and Salvador Dalí too.
wondering why yer comment's not there? either MySpace said yer account was deleted, or it was an ad (for something other than yer band or art gallery or etc.). stop spamming, you retards. (btw, i hate "captchas", but you'll need it to leave a comment now. still getting spam shit.)
Who I'd like to meet: mystic space aliens, Bollywood superstars, dead babies, photonic particles, unborn stars, David Bowie

If By Chance/ A tribute to Sabrina Category: Writing and Poetry
Most
of
you in the Atlanta area have probably heard about the death of a 25
year old mother killed the other day by an out of control drunk
driver. Her name was Sabrina Stanek. She was a friend of my family,
and one of the kids who grew up coming to my house. She was beloved
and cared for others in a selfless way. She wanted to become a model
and recently did a photo shoot with my daughter. Please visit my blog
and read the Tribute Poem dedicated to this wonderful young woman. This
poem is dedicated to her
memory and for her 2 children. May it reflect for us the hope we should have for her in
death. May she always be remembered as the one who led the way to the
Light. I am sure she is there with the angels still caring for us all.
Still asking God to be merciful to us.
Dude, for real tho! Those mo fos went so damn quickly. Actually they were for rea reas b day thing. It all led up to skinny dippin in the spa...... Wha.....na
