About me: Let me be trite, but honest. I hate this crap. A man of contradictions that vex him at least as much as they vex others, someone who is done raping corporate America for every penny he could get out of them & now seeks to do good (but wonders about his decision every time the day formerly known as "pay" rolls around), an aspiring/struggling comic book scripter, a vegetarian but for his love of a good steak, someone who really, REALLY wanted to set 'Relationship Status' as 'swinger' (not because I aspire to it, but because it would be funny), blah, blah, blah, ratta-ta-ta
Who I'd like to meet: Dreamers, doers and anyone who can conclusively prove to me what a chinchilla is. Or this guy...

Hey friend! A couple of weeks ago GaragePunk.com endorsed Senator Barack Obama for president. This video by Larry Lessig (founder of Creative Commons and a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on c0pyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum) does a great job of explaining the important differences between Obama and Clinton, so please watch it. We hope you will agree with us and support Barack Obama in the upcoming Maryland Primary on Tuesday February 12.
Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton for 20+ years is not change. Real change will come with Obama. Can we initiate that change? Yes We Can!
Sigh. I've failed in my quest to find a suitably kickass image/video/whatever to post in honor of your birthday. Consider my foray into the wild realm of MySpace a gesture of my deep-seated respect.
Happy Birthday, Sean. I hope this year is simultaneously awesome and not the best year ever (because I don't want to put any sort of restriction on future years). My brain is wired funny. That is all.
Greetings friends and comrades. Just wanted to remind you of the latest edition of the Hip Hop War Report is available. for free!

so the funny thing is that Jefferson Forklift has figured out now how to post a slideshow to someone's comment row but not a freakin picture. I was the only one who thought your ninja cat was funny out of the whole family by the way. I freakin laughed out loud. I could imagine it all the way out to the sudden heart attack and the complete footage on local news stations.
