You want it all now... I'll have it ALL later

About Me


I enjoy simple things and a simple life which is not a simple task in itself. I welcome a cloudy day and rain versus the daily sunshine and oppressive heat commonly found in the south-western United States.
A pretty easy-going person, I tend to take things as they come. I do not like to rush things
... I believe in karma, the philosophy of questioning authourity, and always having an opinion. I believe that the truth hurts sometimes but, nevertheless, it's the truth. (I tend to not be the most "politically correct.")
Many times I like animals more than people. It's amazing to see that many animals have more character and deserve MORE respect than most people.

"People use the word 'natural'... What is natural to me is these botanical species which interact directly with the nervous system. What I consider artificial is 4 years at Harvard, the Bible, Saint Patrick's cathedral, and the sunday school teachings." - Methods of Control, Dr. Leary
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter, don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
