I don't post as much here anymore, most of my writing ends up elsewhere lately. So, I had to come up with something as a profile of sorts for an online site, and figured i may as well post it here, too. Here goes...

Capitalism is soulless.

Meat is murder.

Putting a Democrat in office leads to optimism and no results.

Putting a Republican in office leads to pessimism and no change.

Politics is the illusion of inclusion.

Most bands peak on their first album.

Anyone who doesn't secretly want to be a rock star is lying.

Anyone who doesn't secretly want to be a rock star is boring.

Reclusiveness is addictive.

I won't know who I am until I see myself through the eyes of a lover.

I don't know who I am yet.

My teens = closeted, asexual.

My twenties = coulda, shoulda, woulda.

My thirties = Let's turn this around, perhaps?

Body image can be changed.

Everything I really needed to know, I didn't learn.

I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

I want to be the boy to warm your mother's heart.

Cuddling is spiritual.

Fiction is the lie we tell to tell the truth truer.

I shouldn't leave the Bay Area until I really experience it.

I want to see the sunset on the ocean cuddled up with someone.

That list is in the wrong order.

I should know, at this age, which of those should rank first.

I don't yet.
