Bio

Here's an inspirational verse:

I need not search for precious gold. Of wealth, I have my share;
For with my eyes, I scan the skies
and find my fortune there.
A host of priceless dreams unfold in songs that bluebirds sing.
The earth, the sea, belong to me;
I'm richer than a king.
To add to things that money cannot buy,
An echo brings this very soft reply...
Yes! We have no bananas!
We have no bananas today!
--Spike Jonze, "We have no Bananas"

And meaningful quotes:

“I always have this problem with these studies that do this liberal and conservative thing because they leave out libertarianism, so I never fit in them. Well, nobody else cares. I've spent my whole life not fitting into psycological studies and it's warped me. And it's caused me to be this awful, cynical person that I am today, who lives at home, friendless, eating candy corn."
--Andy Levy, "Red Eye"

Dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.
- Heinrich Heine
Translation: Them that begin by burning books, end by burning men.

"I would like a road map. I want at least some idea of where we're going."
- Ambassador Stephen Lyne

"'Are you're saying that the human race was created to irritate Satan?'
'That is correct. Jehovah is infinite in his snottiness'"
-"Practical Demonkeeping" by Christopher Moore

"There are times I don't pay attention to my own religion. I'm epistlemologically procrastinative."
-Dennis Miller

A bit about me:

I've been online since 1995 and my current handle is ashengem. I love to read, watch anime, cartoons, crime dramas, play games (esp. Trivial Pursuit and Final Fantasy). I work in IT. I'm a bit of a loner. I tend to be sort of silly, and very naive about some things. I'm 43 years old.
