I`m a writer living with three cats. (No, I`m not gay, lol). I used to be a ranked tennis player in the U.S., but a bad back injury put an end to that. I then worked at Microsoft as a coder until I realized that I had enough money to where I didn`t have to work for anyone. So now I write books and code software, play videogames, grow my hair even longer and read Cracked. It`s a great way to get some chuckles and actually learn stuff I didn`t know. Go figure. Anyway, if you`ve accepted my friend invite, thank you. I value my online acquaintances. (Also, I have a strong loyalty to my friends, or just anyone anywhere that are unjustly attacked and I especially have a hatred for bullies. Be warned) UPDATE: I lost my best friend Rascal last year, (my Rare White Panther, at least he thought he was and I wasn`t gonna tell him any different), my buddy, my pal, my bedpartner. I miss you, old friend. My favorite song: "Between A Laugh And A Tear" by John Mellencamp from the album "Scarecrow".
"When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in
And your adolescent dreams are gone,
Through the days you feel a little used up
And you don't know where your energy's gone wrong.
It's just your soul feelin' a little downhearted
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live.
You count your friends all on one finger,
I know it sounds crazy, just the way that we live...
Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by,
Between a laugh and a tear
That`s as good as it can get for us.
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'.
When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you,
You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile.
Hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
It don't seem to mean anything to you now,
Just try to live each and every precious moment.
Don't be discouraged by the future, forget the past
That's old advice but it'll be good to you.
I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past...
Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by,
Between a laugh and a tear
That's as good as it can get for us...
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'."
This sums up my feelings on life, love, everything.
