Books
TO MOST, THIS BOOK WOULD SEEM ODD. HOWEVER, THIS IS A PIC OF A COPY I FOUND IN MY LOCAL LIBRARY ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. ASIDE FROM MANY WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN THE CONNECTION, I AND SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE ATTRIBUTED THIS CHILDREN'S BOOK AS THE PRIMARY MUSE FOR THE WRITINGS OF THE BAND PHISH.

Who I'd like to meet: New People: (Honestly) Anyone who is an uplifting source of optimism in my life.
I've met too many people in my life who are downers. I've learned that I can control separating myself from those types of people. Cheers if you're a positive person too.
oh...I'd also like to meet Tinker Hatfield--the famed guru of podiatric soleful leather and tread---(aka-the designer for the Air Jordan line @ Nike) I have had this off-the-wall, creative notion of someday designing outdoor footwear...(it will happen)
