About Me:
eyes open, else you miss the best parts. I try to keep perspective on whats important, and try to keep it simple. And I'm a borderline radical democrat with thoughts of anarchy, except I understand the value of a functional economy... Did I mention I own a motorcycle, enjoy dancing the night away to some good dance music, care about the world, think theres not enough nice people in it. Hopfully one of these days I can live simpler, and give something back as well.

car my very first day, he told me that
he had never seen anyone bring that much
stuff to school.
it's a testimonial in and of itself that
all the stories i have about duran make
me smile. he's just that great a guy.
from the ubiquitous midnight breakfast,
to that CRAZY hampshire halloween, it's
all good.
oh, and dude, moby stole your
girlfriend. that is so cool.
has a heart bigger than the expanse of
the galaxy explored by the Starship
Enterprise. I believe his picture is
next to both "loyal" and "kind" in the
dictionary. Plain and simple: He's an
incredible person. (And ladies, rumor
has it, he's got mad "skills"...if you
know what I'm sayin')
good feeling to have family two cubicles
over. Duran clues me in on world news/
politics that I'm too lazy to get myself. The
only thing that bums me out about Duran is
that every time I show him a cool website, he
has already seen it.
Except when opening a bottle of beer on
a brick outdoor oven. He is NO GOOD at
that. My cat liked him. He taught me
to asbsolve myself of shame of being a
geek, seeing as how he relishes it so
much. Good man, too good for me I tell
ya. But tell us Duran, what the hell
are developmental politics?
I mean...ya, go Duran!
*cue techno beats*
;P
the same planet or at the very least
from neighboring star systems. Our
fates seem to have been intertwined
ever since. If it weren't for the 3
year gap, seemingly unbridgeable as a
kid, I'm certain we would be close
friends now. As it stands, Duran is a
deeply familiar presence in my life
anyway. He embraces the breadth of
people as they are and has been known
to lovingly tend and care for areas
others intentionally avoid. He's
deeply compassionate, world-savvy, and
a joy to be around. And in my
aesthetic opinion, he's a hottie too.
gush about Duran? He's very
endearing. Duran really knows how to
step up to the plate and get things
done. He also knows how to heal
wounds and build new relationships.
He really mastered our transition from
heartbroken exes to loving friends
with sensitity as well as a sense of
humor. Thank you for that, Duran.
Now I can't imagine ever not being his
friend. It's nice to have someone
with so much character, integrity, and
loyalty backing me up!
