A short time ago, a friend of mine asked me what I believe to be the most intimate question that can be asked of a person. Despite the fact that I had an answer (and she had NO answer to the same question ), I feel my expression was woefully incomplete, and hence I'll endeavor to answer more completely now.

Ok, enough negativity on the new site. It speaks for itself.

The weekend was relatively sedate, but i did get to eat a load (maybe too...

close my eyes and swallow
figure out that i am not blind
or broken eared
just need to disappear (to get up out of here)

i know, by the look in your eyes it's time to go
we rub our legs like crickets
kicking cans and stones

tonight i want to make it real
