My Interests

Many

I'd like to meet:

The world is an interesting place. Though I feel that what our minds perceive is even more intriguing. I tend to spend a lot of time meandering through my thoughts and listening to the streams of information attempting to describe my existence. It is not unusual for me to find myself wandering around a park and staring at the leaves falling from the trees, the glittering water rippling around some mossy rocks, the wind rustling the waves of grass.

I like reading and gaining the knowledge, experience, and wisdom of others. Hearing their story helps me to understand my own. I like feeling the rhythmic vibrations of some of the most talented musicians on the planet as they express life through their music. Their melodies and harmonies spiritualize the perception of sound. They remind me that some of the best stories are written with no words. Yet the elements which harmonize life are many and the list is endless. Most are as simple as sharing a glass of wine with friends, watching a meaningful movie, or eating a good meal. All of them help me achieve awareness, an addiction with intoxicating affects. I just need to pay attention and listen with mind and body.

With this in mind, I aspire to change other lives around me for the better and continue to develop as a conscious being. Perhaps one day, my story will live on in their hearts and minds.

Television:

Well honestly,

I dont watch T.V. in the popular sense. You see, most people watch alot of the tasteless and un-imaginative crap filtering around today. Thats fine, some people like Budweiser and McDonalds.

Television only impresses me 20% of the time I even bother to watch it. There are just better things to do with ones time. Generally I find myself wandering around the History Channel, Comedy Central, Public Television, Cartoon Network (Adult Swim) and then turning the television off.

Books:



Heroes:

My Grandmother. Pericles. Socrates. Thomas Jefferson. Lao Tzu. Confucius. Michael Parenti. Gil Galad. Jochen Peiper.
And those un-sung who live, and have lived close to virtue...
