Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. - Mahatma Gandhi
I like people with healthy amounts of curiosity and truly down to earth people. I really enjoy relaxing and enjoying the simple things in life, I also enjoy delving into new projects that can sometimes get very detailed. I take on new projects everyday, like learning how to make authentic mexican food, italian, chinese, indian etc. I'm learning portrait sculpture using clay at the moment. I'm a hard worker and I take my job and responsibilities very seriously. I eat and live very healthy. I excercise and stay in shape several times a week, via the gym or riding or cycling. I set major goals every year and knock them down by breaking them up into smaller goals, all leading to the final stretch. The possibilities are endless, but the journey there is always more interesting than the end result. I don't usually take shortcuts, as I enjoy working hard and earning my way in life. I don't rely on anyone to hand me anything, I believe in earning it. I respect everyone right from the get go, unless you give me a very good reason not too. I believe love conquers all and there is no point in hating anyone, hate is a strong word. I believe in forgiveness as people make mistakes, but not to the point of being naive. I appreciate people with a good amount of common-sense paired with open-minded curiosity and rational thinking. I enjoy photography, painting and all types of mediums of art. I have a very diverse and eclectic taste in hobbies and interests. I am curious about how things work and why they work. I am never bored, ever.

I'm constantly reading and learning new things. I enjoy critical thinking and love to participate in discussions on everything ranging from politics to science, health, travel, cooking and even gardening! I consider myself a jack of all trades and would enjoy talking to new people about just about anything. I'm into photography, reading, movies, cats, museums, technology, art, acting, computer junk, politics, gym, comedy clubs, environmental causes and uhmm...everything else. I tend to have an eclectic taste in hobbies and interests. I like knowing how things work. Learning is fun, I'm a documentary-aholic.
"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; When the government fears the people, there is liberty". -Thomas Jefferson
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -Goethe
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs". -Thomas Jefferson
"The modern Banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banks can in fact inflate, mint and unmint the modern ledger-entry currency". -Major L. B. Angus
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits".- SIR JOSIAH STAMP, (President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second richest man in Britain)
"It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." -Henry Ford
I'd Like to Meet:
I like people with healthy amounts of curiosity and truly down to earth people.
Minor annoyances: unnecessarily dramatic people, people who never learn from their mistakes, when people don't believe in themselves or use the words "I can't" too often, people who never look at things from other's point of view, unhealthy amounts of selfishness, unhealthy amounts of selflessness, people who never ask questions or just accept everything naively at face value.
This is a photo of what my scooter looks like, I haven't taken any pictures of it, but I found some that look like it. Mine doesn't have the "Y" on the side though. Who needs a car when you can have a sweet Scoot?
80 miles to the gallon. Beat that suckers!
