William Burroughs The hard man of hip! You’re controversial and intent upon revolution! What classically cool poet or writer are you? brought to you by Quizilla My inner child is sixteen years old! Life’s not fair! It’s never been fair, but while adults might just accept that, I know something’s gotta change. And it’s gonna
Oh, yeah. You want to see funny? Check this out: http://www.livejournal.com/users/slampapi/ Of course, it’s not really him but, it should be! :-O
Taking a breather from another whirlwind day at work that will conclude with the aforementioned seminar with the greedy but nervous (don’t believe anyone that tells you the stock market has recovered) and me in a suit… Icewind Dale II is the shit!
