Scott

A man can live without love, but he does so as a withered shell around a stone.

About Me

reserved or ripe with wit, always off kilter just a bit.
A drifter that settled down to earth.
A man of many words, but kindly quiet now and then.
Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.
- Kierkegaard

My personal mantra for 2008, Choose when to speak and when to listen wisely.

Leave it to the cats to understand the meaning of life, and decide to keep it to themselves...

Quick Insight

My Interests

Psychology, human behavior, electricity, nonlinear dynamics, computers, music (from techno to emo to slo downtempo), mixing cds for friends, a good story, a powerful movie, a poetic justice, beauty that radiates from within a peaceful person.

I'd like to meet:

Henry David Thoreau: “Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.”

In his Letters to Milena, Kafka wrote: "One can think about someone far away and one can hold on to someone nearby; everything else is beyond human power. Writing letters, on the other hand, means exposing oneself to the ghosts, who are greedily waiting precisely for that. Written kisses never arrive at their destination; the ghosts drink them up along the way."

"Embrace the company of those that seek the truth, and run from those who have found it". "Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed."
- Vaclav Havel

"You say you love life but you escape from it every chance that you get!"
- John Densmore to Jim Morrison

"Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can."
- Willis Whitney

You hold in your mind a mental picture of yourself. The quality and substance of that picture make all the difference in the actions you take and the results you get.Make that picture brilliantly superb, and your life will follow right along.
