Well, most of the time my screen looks something like this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/LasciviousMax/Organic-Design.bmp).

But after carefully peeling back the layers of crap, I see the desktop below you speak of and that I had otherwise forgotten, which looks more like this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/LasciviousMax/desktop.bmp).

You are indeed fortunate that photobucket does not like me sending them 1600x1200 images, or your monitors would be crying right now... muahahaha!!

The second image is of a foggy Tuscan morning, if you look hard I think there are some drunken villagers under the one tree doing it. This image, and most of the ones I display have been similar shades of blue - in keeping with the many annoying blue lights that adorn my computer. Another fave are sharks, of which I have many pictures (sadly none where the shark can be seen eating someone, though I've tried).

The first image is the reason for my lack of sanity and the reason I have to come here so often. It is the devil's workshop, I swear it.

Yes, yes I would...

I had probably one of the plainest bikes in the world (an unmarked 78 Honda CB400-looked like it was a bike from a Hanna-Barbara cartoon) that I recently got rid of because, as it turns out, the bikes are supposed to be disposable so I could never get it fixed. And the long it sat the more parts 'went missing.' I have some video equipment that's 'first in line' but after that the first thing is getting another bike. I like the vintage for the most part. Doomed to have rickety vehicles...

Checked, but reminded me that there where some 'professional e-mails' I have to do and I don't want to think that hard right now, so I'm going to get to responding a little later, if thats okay.

I just spent the last fifteen minutes looking at various pictures of the 57C Atlantic and daydreaming about those mythical 'barn finds.' "I like your attitude, youngster. Why, if can get this old thing out of the barn it's all yours." the old man says, not realizing that the car he's giving you is one of like four in the world...always be nice to old people. You don't know what they got in some barn or something...
