Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

About Me


If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am for myself only, who am I? If not now, when?

-- Hillel
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes
--William James
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
--Mark Twain
Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.
--Carrie-"Sex and the City"

My Interests

People, laughter, love,life, reading, scuba diving, writing, photography, cool people, being outdoors, museums, wine, being my weird self, obscure humor, random out-of-context quotes such as, "What's the printable area on a cow?", "International nailclippers are more dangerous", and "How do you defend yourself against a peanut butter and banana sandwich?" and in general, making people go:

And the list goes on and on....

I'd like to meet:

Someone amazing

They are both beautiful,deep, smart and sexy and I love them =P
