MySpacea place for friends

A Synopsis:

I'm this kid from the bleak suburbs of Memphis, Tennessee that's usually outside at 4:00AM trying to figure out how to make things not feel so small or so short.

I've been that kid my entire life, no matter how old I get it doesn't go away. I like everything and anything that makes things seem really big, really epic, because everything in this world tends to be really closed off and transient.

You know, the good things.

I have this undying wish that people and their ideas were more like the world they're placed in. Beautiful, lasting, like caves. Like old trees. Perhaps a bit more loyal and a bit more sincere. Calm in the calm, moving when it storms.

All together used to it, knowledgeable of it, regardless of what it is because they've stuck with looking directly into something for more than a second.

More than it takes to flip open a cell phone, channel surf, produce the obsolete by the minute.

I feel strongly about things. I don't feel luke-warm about anything. Every meal is either the best or the worst. I either love you or I hate your guts.

You've either found my flower or my thorn. I am sincere like a woodland.

I use strange manners of speech that you'll be forced to either love or hate.

I like art. Art is my cloud formation and this is why I'll probably never be celebrated in my lifetime. Consider it for a while and you might get what that means.

Right now, I'm the kid that wants a nice scotch. I think I'll go enjoy one.

People I'd like to meet (or not):

I don't like people that gossip. I believe in the sanctity of privacy, I think it is dishonorable and ignoble to open your mouth about private issues that don't concern you or the people you're talking to. This rules out most people in the world, period. They have no honor, loyalty or even a smidgeon of respect for those that they can't manipulate and lie to while getting away with it.

I'd like to meet people that aren't idiots and don't have toxic waste for taste. That eliminates most "music culture" types, supporters of the state and generally anyone that calls me "brother" that actually isn't one of my blood brothers.

I really want to meet people that can tap dance. I'd like to enjoy the company of someone that could simply break into tap at any moment. That would really brighten my world; someone that taps instead of paces.

I'm not into drug culture, I'm not fond of anyone that thinks that because they're from a major metropolitan area they somehow have more advanced cultural values (i.e. I hate New York and damn near everything that goes along with New York).

I'd like to meet people that believe in an equality of the strong. Those rare individuals that believe that this civilization is all lies, all error and all misery and want to see it collapse or at least find a way out of it.

I'm interested in working with people that are extremists and know how to perform. This means the musical, literary, visual and theatre arts.

I'm big on manners and sincerity, unless I'm performing. If I've got make-up on then don't get your feelings hurt.

Last, but not least, I don't much care what people think or believe unless it actually affects me or someone I love in the end. I'm not so much a person that questions ideas as I am one that considers them and shrugs them off. I think that most people could stand to learn a lot from me in that regard.
