so many things, so few of them of any importance. single father of two fantastic kids. i love going to italy. i like to make music but can't seem to stay focused long enough to really do much about that. or i don't have a muse. either or. i'm allergic to hype and for that reason will probably never listen to the decemberists. i know a lot more than you about some things and a lot less than you about other things. i don't trust people who don't read books for pleasure. i also don't trust vegans, or macrobiotics, or raw foodists, or any other retarded food fad. i'm a cultural and intellectual snob, but as long as you can think and have a pretty okay cultural aesthetic i'll take you for who you are. i'm punctual and am offended by those who are not because it shows a lack of respect for the person you are meeting. i try very very hard to keep my word and fulfill my promises. i'm really loyal, even to people i don't like anymore. i believe that love and beauty exist even though the world as a whole is designed to quash them. i'm a depressive and a diabetic and wish that i wasn't either of those things, but in the big picture i'd rather be those two things than, say, schizophrenic and parapalegic. i don't have it so bad really.
