About Me

I'm an optimistic pessimist, I am chronically depressed with a sunny disposition, I am a shy social butterfly, and the sweetest cold hearted bitch you will ever meet. I have to roll the windows down when I go across a bridge I love cotton fields. I think butterflies are beautiful in a tragic way. I have an uncontrollable fear of rubber chickens and umbrellas. I can't use the second stall in a public bathroom. I think snakes are possibly the most beautiful and elegant creatures on the face of this earth. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I find it hard to believe in anything. Sometimes I get the uncontrollable urge to be far away from everything. I like to paint my toes pink. I'm still looking for the man behind the door if anyone knows where he is. I love my friends (especially KP and Jessica, my soul sisters) I also love my job working as a vet-tech for a local clinic! It upsets me that people have bastardized Rene Descartes original saying. You may know it as the famous "I think therefore I am" (The Cogito). This shortening of his original saying misses the entire beauty of it. His original statement was "Dobito, Ergo Cogito, Ergo Sum."-I DOUBT, therefore I think, therefore I am. The shortened "I think therefore I am" misses the point that he based his entire BELIEF of his existence on the fact that he DOUBTED!! Don't you see how unbelievably and amazingly poetic that is??!! He doubted. I have based a good majority of who I am on this phrase and the majority of society doesn't even know it exists. I Doubt. Too many people who take what someone says to be the undeniable truth needed to know the rest of The Cogito. They needed to learn how to doubt.
