| Introduction | Hmm. As if the above weren't enough. Okay. I think people in animal costumes are funny; I think my wife is the coolest; I love knowing and not knowing, hate presents, waiting, and surprises, because that is not knowing; I ponder over God, the universe, the future, prophecy and how its all connected (especially that whole, 2012 thing. If nothing happens on Dec. 21 or 23, I am going to be REALLY miffed); I over think and overcomplicate things; I hate that I do that but really can't stop; I hate being diabetic but know there are worse things to be; I think everything is amusing and if I were a WATCHMEN character, I'd be the Comedianne, because its all one big joke that God (if it exists) tells. And you want to know the punchline? Watch the news, read the newspapers, peruse blogs, and then look in the mirror. If you have any humor in you, you'll start laughing. Oh, and I like oppressing the masses. |
