Hey loyal readers and whomever might bumble into this brief entry, my last on Myspace, I am moving to Facebook. Well, I've pretty much already moved there. I will check my Myspace probably twice a week from now on, so if you want to reach me this is not the best way anymore. Below is a list of ways to get in touch with me, see what I'm up to, or straight up stalk me I suppose..

Hey All! You know the deal by now. Quickly now, run to the Saga sty and wallow in my murky thought runoff, and as always feel free to leave comments :) Bookmark me or subscribe to the rss feed if you like! Thanks again ~S

Some posts from this past month or so on Saga of the Amazing Human Man!...

Losing Sight of My Goals

Tag you are it!
Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random things, facts, habits, or goals about yourself. At the end choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don't forget to leave them a comment (you're it) and to read your blog. You can't tag the person that tagged you. Since you can't tag me back, let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers.

1.) I don't think anyone has landed on the moon. I am by no means a conspiracy theorist and don't consider myself paranoid or delusional. I think maybe we're all just a little naïve about the subject. There is lots of evidence to support both sides, I happen to disagree with the government here.

2.) I'm scared of Junebugs. They gross me the fuck out and I will shriek like a frightened schoolgirl when I think one is on me. I don't know why, other bugs don't freak me out quite as much generally. Shut up Abe.

3.) My ears are rubbery. They are like silly putty or something. You can twist em around inside out and upside down and it doesn't hurt, it just feels a little funny.

4.) I rub the top of my rubbery-ass ears when I'm tired. I didn't know I even did this until my girlfriend at the time pointed it out to me one day. Years later my brother asked me one night if I was tired, seeing me fidgeting. "How did you know I did that," I asked, was it that apparent? He then told me that he does the same exact thing when he's tired and never noticed it until his girlfriend Rihana pointed it out to him.

5.) I have a relatively rare auto-immune disease called Sarcoidosis. It was discovered incidentally when looking for gall stones (which I had, that sucked), and originally diagnosed as Hodgkins Lymphoma. After a biopsy, I was excited to know that it was not cancer but this weird condition. It is static right now and doesn't bother me in my daily life, other than having diminished my lung capacity slightly. Read more about Sarcoidosis here if you like – Please support K.I.S.S.

6.) I still play Dungeons & Dragons every week. I have played off and on for about 15 years. I am very into it and love to talk endlessly about it. Ask anyone.

7.) I am bad with money. I am buried in debt and can never seem to get caught up. Debts to friends, rent, car payments and other necessary bills continually get paid now that I'm a little more grow'd up, but I still seem to overspend every single week and never ever have a penny saved.

8.) I continually have music running in my head. I often don't realize that I am humming, whistling, tapping my foot or fingers, until I receive strange looks or are reprimanded (grade school was tough). When music is present I find it difficult not to react somehow. Wearing headphones while performing daily tasks, like shopping for instance, without dancing around like a crazy person is such a challenge that I have to restrict my public diet to more downtempo or ambient stuff (Coldplay or Portishead seem to work well).

9.) I really enjoy making other people laugh. I will go to great lengths to crack someone up or lighten their mood. I know a million jokes, stupid stories, and even do shitty impressions. I often have a hard time discerning whether a joke is inappropriate since nearly everything is fodder for a laugh in my head. I don't take things seriously enough most of the time. I'm getting better.

10.) I am not good at sports. Nor do I follow any sport. I like going to sporting events, but only to ones who's rules I fully understand (Basketball & Soccer are fun, Baseball is boring as shit). And I don't care about the fucking Red Sox, so shut up.

I am "tagging" Bryan, Dave, Adam, Bubba Rube, Inkslinger 5000, Lady Dagger, Trixie, Ms. Jackson, Ms. Isis, Grrrlie
