CURRENT MISSION

Bringing a little bit of justice to an unfair market

ABOUT ME - I wrote this about 10 years ago but now I'm back on couchsurfing I have no desire to delete it :D

I thought obituaries were for AFTER I'm dead,
to be written by others who've taken the trouble,
to scratch at the surface and patched from their own eyes,
a frankenstein hero of their own conception?

I was a spaceman one day and a hooker the next,
cashing the paycheck for one last adventure,
living the dream and waking the nightmare,
trapped in the half-light of anothers intentions.

Or maybe a farmer who waited a season,
to blossom and grow and watch grain become fodder,
the storm and the dust become food for the needy,
and nightly keep vigil for next days sunrise.

Whatever I see in the mirrors reflection,
may be just a face and a pallid complexion,
what you see could be tainted, inflated or valid,
but will be part of the piece my headstone is surmised.

Sometimes I do pretentious stuff like this and then other times I play Mario Kart or pretend I'm German.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm always of the opinion that an intelligent mind can always hold two opposing thoughts equally valid.
I also believe a little paranoia is healthy :D

Interests

Playing the guitar, writing, ale, expanding my delicious creation potential, invoking convulsive laughter, heaven-oriented fist shaking, cheese and cheese derivatives, humming mario tunes at work, pie, heavy shit, lighthearted shit, shit
