I was born at some distant past in an unremarkable place. I have been here and there; have done this and done that. I have met so and so. I can do this and that; made do with what life has panned out. I write for my breakfast, speak for my lunch, and generally just think for my dinner. I live in easy comfort, not minding too much about the Joneses across the street.
I am happy and content. I have reconciled myself to being alone, though far from lonely. I blog for venting, mainly. My silence is not snobbishness; more like silent introspection. I keep my ears to the ground and my eyes to the heavens. If I am remiss in interchange ( or virtual intercourse, if there is such a thing), blame it on the stupid bomber who deprived me of my upper limbs.
