Speech is a mirror of the soul: as a man speaks, so is he.

How the Ranting Started
Some of the rants on this page were originally e-mail to friends; and they ended up being so wordy that they were dubbed rants.

Someone suggested I make a website using them because they thought they were funny. Now you know the rest of the story.

Me? Write? I don't think I could.
Some of my friends keep telling me they think I should write a book. Me? write a novel? I think if I tried to do it professionally or to get published, I would crack under the pressure and get writer's block. Almost every one of the things on my site started out as an e-mail that I decided to write in the style of a short story to make it more fun and interesting. BUT - thank you for your thoughts on that matter.

Who is Tim, anyway?
You probably noticed, as many people have, that a large number of rants are about this guy named Tim. Tim is one of my oldest friends. To describe it in a way nearly everybody can comprehend:

Tim is to Pero what Kramer is to Seinfeld. Another comparison that I have heard from people: Pero is Felix Unger; Tim is Oscar Madison.
