About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite or waiting around for Friday night or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil, or a Better Break or a string of pearls,or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or Another Chance

ABOUT ME

Got a pretty conflicted personality...happy-go-lucky and impulsive, yet obsessive about having a back up plan for every event.
Quite serious and reclusive when at home, yet outgoing and a little foul mouthed when out with people. Got a sense of humor, albeit rather dark at times. Good with kids, seeing as I'm an English teacher I've learned how to handle most of the little monsters quite well.
Just don't take me too seriously and we'll get along like a house on fire.

PHILOSOPHY

All is vanity, people are fickle, nothing lasts, everything ends.
We try and have fun, but there are no real passions or goals in this life except for the ones we fake so that we don't become utterly suicidal.

Interests

Music. I love music, not really a good musician, nor do i have any real talent for it, but I love it with a passion.
English poetry from the likes of A.C. Swinburne and E.A. Houseman.
Cats, mad about cats.
MMA fighting and special moments in life when it feels like God Himself just said Hi to me.
Also, I desperately want to die.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Chuck Palahniuk.
Movies are usually bad...
Music...it depends on my mood, but mostly anything really, no dance/club crap though
