I am here for Friends

About Me

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be." -- Douglas Adams
I'm a work in progress, as we all are. More fortunate than some, less fortunate than others. I'm on my own path, bumbling through life, living, learning, making mistakes along the way. Getting the message at times, oblivious to the message at others. Searching for the answer, sometimes finding it but then forgetting the question. I just want to live, let live and look back on my life and know I lived it well, mistakes and all. I'm blessed with life, love and friendships, all of which I hold dear.
"Life is no measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away."

My Interests

"Life can be lived more fully if people simply quit pretending to be who they were told to be, and be who they really are…" -- Doug Firebaugh

I'd like to meet:

People with soul, who are genuine and open-minded. Members of my tribe that I have yet to meet. Those who know how to have a good time and who think outside the box. People with skillz and all the sweet hook-ups.

Music:

Music is moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness and a gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good, true and beautiful. ~Plato
Jeno, DJ Garth, Rithma, Jazzanova, Everything but the Girl, DubTribe, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Miguel Migs, Tosca, Thievery Corporation, Mark Farina, LTJ Bukem, Mistress Barbara, Morcheeba, Ben Harper, Bob Marley, The Photonz Aphex Twin, Victor Wooten, Z-Trip, The Roots, Curtis Mayfield, Neil Young, David Grisman.
There's just too many favorites to list.
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.~Jean Paul Richter
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.~Berthold Auerbach

Movies:

Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, GO, Hero, Waking Life, Fear and Loathing, Clerks, Office Space, Butterfly Effect, What Dreams May Come, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Party Monster, The Notebook, Dancer in the Dark, There's Something About Mary, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Doors, The Jerk, The Toy, Titanic, Very Bad Things, Requiem for a Dream, Most anything with Johnny Depp, Ben Stiller, Richard Pryor and Morgan Freeman. Love old DeNiro & Al Pacino.
Shawshank Redemption is one of my all time faves.

Television:

Is evil and just a tool to occupy your mind and keep you distracted and entertained so you don't let your mind wander too far where you might actually start thinking about what's really going on.But okay, yeah I do get sucked in now and again (like everyday). The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart is my official news source. Forensic Files (morbid facination), 24, Six Feet Under (again morbid, hmm I might need to look into this)

Books:

I don't read as much as I would like to. I enjoyed Ishmael thouroughly. Most of the time I read supense, I really like Dean Koontz. I would love some suggested reading, so do tell.

Heroes:

The person who wrote this:
"Evil is boring. The universe is friendly. Life is on your side. Joy is your birthright. Cynicism is idiotic. Fear is a bad habit. Despair is lazy. In fact, all of creation wants you to succeed. Act as if the universe is a prodigious miracle created for your amusement and illumination. Assume that secret helpers are working behind the scenes to assist you in turning into the gorgeous masterpiece you were born to be. Retrain your senses and intellect so you're able to perceive the fact that life always gives you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it." --PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings"
Johnnyhead came for a visit and bonded with baby Justice.
