I can believe things that are true and I can believe things
that aren't true
and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true
or not. I can
believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn
Monroe and the
Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen -- I believe that
people are
perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is
run by secret
banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular
basis, nice ones that
look like lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want
our water and
our women. I believe that the future sucks and I believe
that the future
rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is
going to come back
and kick everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just
overgrown bys with
deep problems communicating and that the decline in good
sex in America is
coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from
state to state.
I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and
I still believe
that they are better than the alternative. I believe that
California is
going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while
Florida is going to
dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste. I
believe that
antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and
disease so that
one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like the
Martians in War of
the Worlds. I believe that the greatest poets of the last
century were
Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon
sperm, and that
thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed
Siberian shaman.
I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I
believe that candy
really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's
aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that
light is a wave and a particle,
that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead
at the same time
(although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll
eventually just
be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars
in the universe
billions of years older than the universe itself. I belive
in a personal
god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything
I do. I believe
in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and
went off to hang
with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive.
I believe in an
empty and godless universe of casual chaos, background
noise, and sheer
blind luck. I believe that anyone who says that sex is
overrated just
hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims
to know what's
going on will lie about the little things too. I believe
in absolute
honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's
right to choose,
a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred
there's nothing
wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal
system implicitly,
and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal
system. I believe
that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that
life is what
happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie
back and enjoy it.

I also believe that inhaling smoke would be ok, if you
didn't have to exhale it or if the smoke didn't smell or
have bad long-term effects. But that's not the case in the
world I live in.

I don't have a preferred type, but I find sarcasm, body
confidence and bilateral symmetry all to be extremely
sexy. Oh...and hats. Hats are wicked sexy.

The truth of it is, though, that I'll talk to and meet just
about anyone. I'm both cheap and easy. If you want to
talk or meet, let me know.
