"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think are important.
This is because they're chasing the wrong things.
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

As far as the future , i'm not entirely sure where it'll take me ~ I know that I'll find my place in something that's not just tolerable , but that I look forward to (if this exists?! ;-))
.never
settle .
I need to be able to go home at the end of the day knowing that I had soooome sort of positive impact in this world. "All I wanted was to make the world a better place... and to make an assload of money" ;-) As for what happens between now & then... only time will tell :-)


the tension is here. between who you are and who you could be. between how it is and how it should be...

I'd like to meet:

The Burger King

everyone I know & everything I see, everywhere I've been it means so much, you meant so much to me



Music:

..is as necessary as the air we breathe & the water we drink..

"I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we're all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music."
.i wanna rock.

Movies:

I always had one foot out the door, and that prevented me from doing a lot of things, like thinking about my future and... I guess it made more sense to commit to nothing, keep my options open. And that's suicide. By tiny, tiny increments.

Books:

"Working to establish a more comfortable style of survival has grown to feel complete in and of itself as a reason to live, and we've gradually, methodically, forgotten our original question...we've forgotten that we still don't know what we're surviving for."
The Celestine Prophecy. Lullaby. The Da Vinci Code. Ordinary People. Diary. ZigZag Street. Perks of Being a Wallflower. Greek mythology.

"Morrie believed in the inherent good of people. But he also saw what they could become. "People are only mean when they are threatened," he said later that day, "and that's what our culture does. Tha...
