What a beautiful face I have found in this place that's circling all around the sun.

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

You can message me if you want. Or talk to me on AIM if I am ever on it.

Strange is our situation here upon earth. However, there is one thing that we do know. That man is here for the sake of other men. Above all for those upon whose smile and well being our own happiness depends. And also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.
--Albert Einstein

I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don't believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn't want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I'm not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn't know how to return the treatment.
--Malcolm X
