About me

"The Joshua Romig Experiment...
That's what my parents would call my life...if they where scientists, but alas, they are not-and neither am I. They are , instead, a factory worker and an ex-convict and I, a poet."
- Some of you might remember this form the first time I appeared on the forums.

Interests

Cat On: Love

Don't restrict it. Let everyone love everyone else as much as possible , and as often as possible. Love with set us free , I truly believe that.

Cat On:Books

I recently Read: Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

Cat On: Religion

wise words form someplace. "Christianity: the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master , so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...yea...makes perfect sense."

Cat On: Heroes

See The Poem "Ink is No Substitute" in my works.

Slang would be words already in our vocabulary yet we use it in a different way. The phrases you guys have come up with are a totally different language with no regards to the American vernacular. It'd probably be more akin to like how southern English folk back in the UK would talk and not be understood by the elitist Northern Brits. Good try though buddy.

Thank you much for your kind words Sir. You know though, it is funny because I write songs from my perspective all the time...

I think becuase the graphic is so long it stretches the entire page? That happens a lot on myspace - a page will get strecthed left to right or up and down depending on what a user puts on there. Then too, I think all of the white space the graphic creates. I used to work on a newspaper - layouts really get to me. It might be fine. It's just something I notice.

Great job man. I really like these two lines: "We need as much as we can get, so toss in your two cents."

Dude C - nice graphics but I have to say - your page is looking a little myspaceish.
