Being Called Out or 20 or so facts about me W/O
Apr 10 '03
The Bottom Line well, I never claimed to be anything other than myself.
Well, since I've now been called out I guess I have to write my own entry into the W/O. It really started off innocently enough. Several epinionators who grace (or disgrace depending on your point of view) my WOT wrote entries into this W/O.
My loyalty in reading members on my WOT led to unsolicited e-mails from Corpgent challenging me to sh!t or get off the pot. His logic was that I sniffed around and read too many entries in his W/O to not contribute myself.
Well, okay, then. I'll toss out a few facts or so and you'll soon realize that my previous silence was well founded.
I guess for starters I'll mention that I was born on July 5, 1966 at Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. I share a birthday with P.T. Barnum. I guess I was the one born 156 years later. So that covers a whopping seven facts in two sentences.
I loved playing soccer as a lad in suburban Philadelphia and also developed an affection for playing baseball and American football.
Okay, that's boring. Nobody wants Al Bundy-ish rants on childhood sports glory. Let's just say I didn't mess up every play.
Reading a biography of Jim Morrison inspired me to read Rimbaud, Nietzche etc. That's also when I was afflicted with the peculiar notion of becoming a poet. Hardly the wisest career choice.
I've been in Amsterdam numerous times. All facts about the Red Light District will be omitted.
I don't drink beer while writing epinions. I cultivate the review from handwritten notes. I am often 10 to 20 beers behind in posting. Seems the mouth is quicker than the hand.
I smoked pot once in college and I did inhale. Then I found out that the dealer had sold me catnip.
Pictures of me tipping a belly dancer at a Morroccan restaurant with the dollar bill held by my teeth have surfaced derailing my potential congressional run.
Homer Simpson is my hero. I base my life on his teachings.
I remember what I was doing on August 12, 1986.
I spent many years following both the Grateful Dead and Phish. I also love many other jambands like Widespread Panic and String Cheese Incident. For some reason, I never outgrew the tie dyed T-shirt.
I've never been married and have no children (at least none that I know of). But for some odd reason many children view me as being a giant kid.
I didn't heed Frost's advice about staying gold. Instead I just got old without a trace of the glory once I supposed was mine.
Coffee is another vice that has its grips on me.
and now I'm here on epinions trying to justify myself. It has been suggested in some circles that I spend way too much time on epinions. I guess what I really need is to get a life. (as long as it's not a Chris Elliot TV show.)
well, hope I didn't waste too much of your precious epinions time with these little nuggets.
hopefully I do this right. To check out other entries in this W/O that I have now officially crashed, consult this page:
