Whenever people say they agree with me, I always feel I must be wrong. -- Oscar Wilde
Great. I love having friends, even (or especially!) imaginary ones.
But I keep some things a bit private, and make them accessible to people who are on my friends list here.
So I like to know the people I add to my friends list. I tend to be more positive about accepting invitations if we've interacted, exhanged messages, or if I've seen you posting in tribes I frequent. If none of those things apply, I may put your invitation "on hold" until I feel I've gotten to know you better. That doesn't mean I feel "un-friendly," and you shouldn't take it as a rejection. Thanks for being interested, and taking the time to look at my profile (and this message)
Cheers!
PS: WARNING to clueless e-males: crude e-mails from strangers seeking sexual favors may be publicly posted, unless I'm of a mind to accept the invitation. Sort of a fun dilemma, ain't it, boys?
I ain't as good as I once was
I got a few years on me now
But there was a time back in my prime
When I could really lay it down
And if you need some love tonight
Then I might have just enough
I ain't as good as I once was
But I'm as good once as I ever was
--- "As Good as I Once Was" by Toby Keith
about me
Just another late-fifties polyamorous pansexual slut of ambiguous gender. When I was younger, I'd explain my sexual orientation with a quote from James Dean: "Why go through life with one hand tied behind your back?" Now I just say "No reasonable offer refused."
"Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, messed up, muddled up world."
----"Lola" by The Kinks
Little Bobbie Dylan sang that, back in the "good old days."
Today, of course, there's no day shift and you're competing for a 15 hour week at Starbucks against a gothed-out little chickie whose main qualification is that she was hanging around while her girlfriend's garage band practiced and went on the beer runs. Dylan, need I say, has turned out to be even lamer than our parents said he was at the time and has just released a fucking album of fucking Christmas music. Gaaaag hack huuualp ...

"Before enlightenment chop wood and carry water.
After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water."
-- Wu Li
In this case, it was more like "After enlightenment, hang with a famous composer and go out to your chauffeured Lincoln waiting parked next to a fire hydrant."
Just a quick snippet from "Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts." Glass is meeting with some Tibetan llama, the meeting ends and then the Tibetan guy proceeds as described above. But that's Zen for ya, ain't it? I...

Originally, I picked this photo to accompany the Eric Clapton lyric in the next post below, but decided to post it here as a bow to the unquestionable presence of beauty and grace and divinity in this world.

Don't matter none to me if'n your cult comes from the Himalayas or the banks of the Ganges. If it makes people be kinder and behave better and helps liberate folks from poverty and oppression, fine, but can't you just do those things 'cause they're what's right?
The photo is of the guru who owned 92 Rolls-Royce cars driving past a bunch of his followers... I picked another photo related to tennis, but decided it belonged in another post.

The human tragedy of this young woman's murder can scarcely be fathomed. It's sad to see the good Jesus-lovin' God fearin' trailer-park dwelling folks in her community try to cope with the fact that none of their religious hooey means a damn thing. I feel for their pain, but can't forget the pain and horror inflicted on others in the name of that religion.

Stand Up For Judas (Happy Easter, #1)

A less-and-less relevant question. I only have a couple of clocks that aren't either hooked up to the net or don't otherwise set themselves automatically.
