Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.

About Me

I'm a musician. So is my fiancee--he's a classical guitarist and we both go to the Boston Conservatory of Music! I appreciate good grammar and feel that it's essential in my life. Language deserves respect: it is communication. Punctuality and grammar defines a person. I'm a philosopher and love intelligent, witty conversation. I LOVE trying new things! I love nature, all kinds of weird crazy ethnic spicy foods that everyone else is afraid to try, camping, canoeing, hiking, etc. I like movies. I like school and the never-ending pursuit of knowledge. Oh and if you wanna hear me sing, go to : http://www.myspace.com/muzikxx
If I can stop one Heart from breaking I shall not live in vain If I can ease one Life the Aching Or cool one Pain Or help one fainting Robin Unto his Nest again I shall not live in Vain. --Emily Dickinson
You scored as Dante Alighieri. According to you most of humanity will spend at least some of their afterlife in hell. You have a high likelihood of being exiled, but anyone as bloody fucking romantic as you deserves what they get. You have an exceptional moral code, overshadowed by the fact that you yourself cannot uphold it.Your existence bears a definite irony, although of fairly Christian morality, many pagans, satanists, communists, and intellectuals admire you and your works for all the wrong reasons.Also, the brighest star in your sky is never going to be your lover...It takes a lot of grief to be the cartographer of hell.

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)

"The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy." --Richard Bach
“No statement should be believed because it is made by an authority.”--Robert Heinlein
“It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost”--Richard Bach

“You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.”--Robert Heinlein

The Keys to Your Heart


You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.
In love, you feel the most alive when your partner is patient and never willing to give up on you.
You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage.
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

“Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other "sins" are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not sinful - just stupid).”--Robert Heinlein

You Are Most Like Carrie!
You're quirky, flirty, and every guy's perfect first date.

Never fear... You've got a great group of friends and a
great closet of clothes, no matter what!

Romantic prediction: You'll fall for someone this year...

Totally different from any guy you've dated. Which Sex and the City Vixen Are You?

In fact, some of your friends may be surprised to find out how far you can take it...

My Blog

I met Michael J. Fox today.

In real life.  Helped him out.  He bought some stuff for his kids and asked for my help.  Time stood still.  No customers entered the store, it was weird.  He was totally cool...

Okay, seriously, I'm at the edge.

You know, going to the gym should be strengthening and empowering, not degrading.  I'm trying to look and feel better, when these two slutty bimbos walk in wearing practically nothing and showing...

Well, I've done it.

Today I started my body-mind transformation.  I think I'm ultimately depressed because I'm so damned insecure about myself.  Seeing as my fiancee is an ex-pro-competitive body builder, I hav...

I wish I didn't exist.

Ever.  I wish I had never been born.  Not to pull a Jimmy Stewart on ya.  But seriously, my existence on this planet is pointless. Period.

Sadness. No friends. It's weird.

It's weird, it's like, they're all, distant.  Far away.  Literally and figuratively.  I don't even know what happened to Lauren, who was my best friend all through high school--nothing ...

My dog is gone.

I miss her so much.  Dad had to do it, because I'm here in Boston.  Funny, since my dad can't drive because he's blind AND because he had knee surgery and couldn't walk there, the person who...

New Blog Post--exciting title, eh? Does anyone read these?

Well, Boston is still incredible.  And so is BoCo.  Lots of cool people, and of course, WAY too much drama, which is annoying, so I stay away from it and people who produce it.  My dog ...
