As I mentioned below, I've recently joined facebook. Not sure how long I'll stay but I have linked up with my cousin Maria, whom I adore. I'm also back in touch with Vincent, my wife's French cousin who stayed with us during the summer of 1999 and with whom I became fast friends. The two of them are reason enough to hang around.
Anyhow, they have this thing floating around facebook where you put your IPod on shuffle and then answer the following questions by simply hitting next. The title of the next song that comes up your answer to the question. I suppose the idea is to get a few laughs from the answers but also to give others an idea of the music you like. At any rate, here's what I posted on facebook:
Okay, I stole this from Maria. Put my IPod on Shuffle and came up with these answers. From them you can surmise that I have a clownish personality, I like a girl who goes all through the night, my life's purpose is too stay alive as long as possible (Not Dark Yet), my friends all dream of me, my best friend is young and foolish (quite the contrary - he's old), I spend my life thinking about my baby (so true), I want to be happy when I grow up, I've spilled the beans about Prudence, I'll die on Twelfth Street, what scares me the most is that you're so beautiful, and I'm hurtin' so bad that I'm through with love.
