"And I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir,
to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves liked locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."
I'm a Junior in college at the moment, and I live in the great city of Louisville. It's a little too small for me though, so expect me to move on to bigger things soon. Unique people thrill me. If you act childish, make lame jokes, sing songs too loud, or feel the constant urge to create then you're probably my kind of person. I want to be a rock-journalist or a college-level literature teacher. If nothing else, I'll work for the Peace Corps until I settle down to finish up my life amid a haze inside a second-story flat in downtown Amsterdam.
Here's a little about my personality. Let's start with the good:
I am deep, thoughtful, and analytical. I am serious, but can take and make jokes just as easily as anyone. I'm talented and creative. Often times I am distressed feeling I am not creative enough for my own standards. I appreciate music, art, and beauty more than anything. I'm poetic and philisophical. I'm conscientious and sensitive to others.
I make friends cautiously, but that does not mean I am not friendly. I avoid causing attention, but am happy when put in the spotlight. I listen to complaints and try to help solve others problems. I have deep concern for other people; I can be moved to tears with compassion.
And then there's always the bad:
I'm a compulsive talker. I exaggerate and elaborate intensely. I have trouble remembering names and I sometimes scare others away. At the same time, I can be "too happy" for some. I'm angered easily, and make light of even the most serious topics.
I hate to be by myself. I decide most things by my feelings alone. I look for credit for my strengths. I would love to be centerstage at all times, but never ask for such recognition. I dominate conversations so much that I tend to repeat stories.
In spite of all this, I'm a good guy.Just ask my friends . Or you can add me .

And I was kinda like, "I think I'm pretty cool, but maybe I should try just in case!"
Erin says:
"A man begins with desiring what he wants and needs, but when he needs what he desires he wants a lot more."
My favorite joke of the moment:
A hippie was walking down the street one day when a pixie pounced on him. "Today is your lucky day!" said the pixie. "I'm gonna give you two wishes. What will the first one be?" The hippie thinks for a moment and then says, "I want a never-ending joint." So the pixie snaps his fingers and there is this king-sized joint. The hippie jacks it up and starts puffing. After five hits the joint is still the same length. Next the pixie says, "...And number two?" The hippie replies, "This is so cool man! Gimme another one!"
Does anybody remember back when you were very young; did you ever think that you would be this blessed?
