REUPDATE INHIBITOR: Since I'm banished from the fora until the end of the month, I'll only stop in every few days to check for messages. So why not leave me one and make my day?
UPDATEABLE:
I was in a mood today . . . .
I just want a President I could sip a Chardonnay with!
Didja hear about how FOXNEWS has been taking their talking points from the White House for the last 7+ years, filling their airtime with it, acting as the ruling party's propaganda arm? Not since Pravda, eh!
Anyway, it turns out to be more innocent than it sounds. FOX
asked Big Brother to do their homework . . . because it was tooo
haaard!Ryan Seacrest got bit by a shark! During
Shark Week! Does he have a demanding Press Agent, or what?
They changed the name of the McCain Campaign, to give it a more attractive brand. They're calling it the
Antiques Road Show.
The veal is crying. Try the Cobb Salad.

I "found" a short poem in one of my notebooks. I had thought of it as a fragment to build on, or maybe the usual brainfart. But now I like it just as it is. Maybe it's too personal to really succeed, but today I like it.
This Be The Couplet
I am made of episodes of joy
I break and take apart, toy by toy!

I'm a writer and training professional, working for a local non-profit. I'm a published poet and storyteller, into Chinese martial arts, a wise guy who wants to entertain and make others feel cozy and welcome.
My philosophy? How about this from Walt Whitman:
"This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and with the mothers of families, re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem."
One more quote, which - no kidding! - I put in my senior yearbook profile in high school, and which still defines me to me as well as anything else.
All that i say is by way of discourse; nothing by way of advice. I should not speak so boldly if it were my due to be believed!-Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533 – 1592)
I hope to meet a woman of cheerful courage, ready to explore, discover, and take one little risk after another. We will encourage each other, praise each other, tease each other, challenge each other, and give each other slack, sweet slack. Please put art above sentiment, science above superstition, and passion above the predictable. She may not ride every rollercoaster, but she won't pass up the biggest and meanest one. And when I am the butt of my own joke, as I usually am, she'll laugh open mouthed.
I've borrowed the following from Looking2007 because I think it's about perfect and despite how scary she may very well be:
Sometimes I favorite you because you are HOT. Sometimes I favorite you because I think we have things in common. Sometimes I favorite you because you have something really neat to say in the forums. Sometimes I favorite you because you would absolutely hate reading my profile. Sometimes I favorite you because even though I am the opposite of what you want, I might be just what you need.
I'm also shieldvulf on the YaWho thing.
Good food, good talk, and a little performance art; either an opera at the Lyric, or me at a miniature golf course. Either way, subtitles will be available.
I will ride the camel first, if it comes to that.
