Let's see,where do I begin *how about from the beginning stupid?* ...fair enough.

I'm a bi pedal carbon based life form with opposable thumbs that enjoys good conversation,bad horror movies, kitties, and cheese.

I'm somewhat depressed, which I try to fight....sometimes to no avail. Try as I might.....

Who am I kidding here? I'm very depressed.I have massive mood swings and usually won't talk to anyone and if I do, it's
usually in the form of monosyllabic answers. If your able to get more than a 5 word response from me consider your self
lucky (or unlucky,depending on how you see it).

I'll have a cup of nihilism with a side order of peter pan syndrome. Also for the main course,I'll have the Kidult.
As for desert, I'll have the running away from reality.
----------------------------------------------------------
Things that I don't care for (others like them but I'm not too keen on it):

1.tattoos ( It seems that everyone has one these days...not me.If you like them..wonderful.More power to you. Whatever floats your boat. To me it smacks of "I'm different like everybody else but I paid upwards of $150 to be "unique". I'm never,EVER going to get one(or 2). Definitely not my cup of tea.

2.piercings - Why? I made the mistake of getting my ears done yrs ago...youthful indiscretions..gotta love em.

3.inane conversations - somethings are better left unsaid.

4.pornography ( to each his or her own, I don't care for it). Sex ? Well I prefer love....highly recommended.

5.Sheeple. - you know who you are.

6.Politics - The old adage holds true..never talk religion and politics amongst friends. I have some "conservative"and "liberal" leanings I suppose. I'm more of a "situationalist".
Give me a situation (ie...political issue..such as Illegal Immigration,Health Care,etc.), I'll render a opinion. Actually don't...because I probably won't agree with you. I don't really fall into either political party's description.

7. Most music - i.e....Rap,country,what passes for R&B these days and Metal(death/black/thrash,etc). Listen to what you want,don't subject me to it. Hence the reason why I never listen to music in lounges,I listen to what I like.
-------------------------------
As for the shout-box...sure I'll chat with you. However,keep in mind I have zero patience for insipid conversation.I'm also "Old". I'm set in my ways. I'm a cyber "Curmudgeon",so being old affords me certain liberties ( ie..being cranky,opinionated and forgetful.)

If your so inclined to talk to me on yahoo,my SN is nevets_2968.
On aim,my nom de guerre is " elegantmachinery".

I'm spending more time on IRC..EFNET specifically. My name there is "annelid". I used to spend a ton of time on it years ago.... sigh.
