===========================
A guy can dream and drown in a deluge of his own delusional thinking. Can't he?
=========================
People have said this about me:
"He was just one of those guys with that weird light around him. He just knew he wasn't gonna get so much as a scratch here." --Willard talking about Kilgore, "Apocalypse Now"
===========================
It is what it is until it no longer is, then it becomes something else.

¿Posh Spice o Paula Abdul Quién es más guapa?
Now that Paula Abdul is stepping down from her Idol throne the big buzz is that Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, will eventually replace her.
