About Me

Famed augur and poet-"Determination is born out of purpose....knowing that you are gifted for something and this something must be attained. It is never enough to rely on luck or natural talent. You must, above all, believe in yourself, face your goals, and then fight as if your life depended on it.""Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.""Though my soul may set in darkness, It will rise in perfect light, I have loved the stars too fondly To be fearful of the night"I am Shodire! I am individual of deep thought and great purpose. I can see into your soul. I'm not specifically defined by the things I like or like doing or like eating, or watching, the people I hang out with, the places I go, the person I date, the clothes I wear, the hair color I have, ect. Quotes thrill me. I hope to someday conquer the world, cease the suffering, end the evil. I want Fame and Fortune beyond anything anyone can imagine. My word is gold. I trust so little, I love so much. I am fervent, passionated, a wild child from birth onwards, easy to reason with, easy to love, I will talk to the rich and the poor and to you and all of yours. I never let anyone ever feel left out in my company. Don't put me down, bring me down, Don't tell me I can't, Don't tell me I will never turn their attention from a heaven of stars. I know I'm someone worth knowing. I always have something to say. I'm constantly out to awe and impress. I'm a complete and utter socialist who wants nothing but your world view and respect. I value highly compassion and empathy. Float me a feather and I'll fly you a bird.TILL PERIL IS ONE WITH BLISS!-Sho.

Never. Take this-Epicurean paradoxIf God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able to Then He is not omnipotent.If He is able, but not willing Then He is malevolent.If He is both able and willing Then whence cometh evil?If He is neither able nor willing Then why call Him God?And: It's all in your head!Don't fear god, Don't worry about death; What is good is easy to get, and What is terrible is easy to endure.Really.
