About Me

Saint Simon ~The Shins"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs, and explosions, and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, ideas, predjudices, to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, predjudices can kill and suspicion can destroy. A thoughtless, freightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all it's own for the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is, is that these things can not be confined to the Twilight Zone." ~Rod Serling***************************************************** *************"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." ~Albert Einstein**************************************************** *************** "True humility is more like self-forgetfulness than false modesty. It leaves people free to rejoice in their special talents and, with the same honesty, to recognize the talents of others" ~MeyersI am not owned by my things or any other person. I make up my own rules and if you think that you got me, think again; I knew what I was up to before you did [hee-hee];p "The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" ~Jack Kerouac+++Something about this quote reminds me of how lucky that I am to have the only guy in the world that is able to put up with a woman like me. And let me tell you, I know from first hand experience; I ain't no walk in the park.++++1/4 german, 1/4 french, 1/4 indian, 1/4 irish. {It's tuff being a mutt}. I get bored way too easily AND I am one of the biggest movie SNOBBS that I know![emphasis on the BB]. +There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.+ ~Friedrich Nietzsche +Never to suffer would never to have been blessed.+ ~Edgar Allan Poe..

Add to My Profile | More Videos Experience is, for me, the highest authority. The touchstone of validity is my own experience. No other person's ideas, and none of my own ideas, are as authoritative as my experience. It is to experience that I must return again and again, to discover a closer approximation to truth as it is in the process of becoming in me. Neither the Bible nor the prophets -- neither Freud nor research --neither the revelations of God nor man -- can take precedence over my own direct experience. My experience is not authoritative because it is infallible. It is the basis of authority because it can always be checked in new primary ways. In this way its frequent error or fallibility is always open to correction." --CARL ROGERS...On Becoming a Person+++++++One has to have chaos within, to give birth to a dancing star." ~Fredrich Nietchze Interests?

I'd like to meet:

Whatever we do in our fourscore years on this global spaceship, whatever we observe and interpret, whatever we concieve and create, whomever we meet and greet will be filtered through ourselves. How and how accurately do we know ourselves? ~Meyers**********************************"Know thyself" ~Socrates**********************"He who knows others is learned. He who knows himself is enlightened" ~Lao-tzu****************Francisco Goya would probably be at the top of the list. I have a distaste for filling in these kinds of things because it really just depends on the mood that I am in. +Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.+ ~Andre Gide "I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things." ~Tori Amos Bad Motherfuckers are an endangered species. Please do your part to protect the existence of a Bad Motherfucker.

Television:

I do like some things from tv but I usually wait till it comes out on dvd. I HATE commercials and think that they are the anti-christ. Does that still count? +The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.+ ~Albert Einstein...but I will name a few...twilight zone, twin peaks, six feet under, the x files...I really don't feel like telling you.

Books:

these are my top favorites... ++The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride... And we... kill those people.++ ~Bill Hicks

Heroes:

Young in New Orleansstarving there, sitting around the bars, and at night walking the streets for hours, the moonlight always seemed fake to me, maybe it was, and in the French Quarter I watched the horses and buggies going by, everybody sitting high in the open carriages, the black driver, and in back the man and the woman, usually young and always white. and I was always white. and hardly charmed by the world. New Orleans was a place to hide. I could piss away my life, unmolested. except for the rats. the rats in my dark small room very much resented sharing it with me. they were large and fearless and stared at me with eyes that spoke an unblinking death.women were beyond me. they saw something depraved. there was one waitress a little older than I, she rather smiled, lingered when she brought my coffee.that was plenty for me, that was enough.there was something about that city, though it didn't let me feel guilty that I had no feeling for the things so many others needed. it let me alone.sitting up in my bed the llights out, hearing the outside sounds, lifting my cheap bottle of wine, letting the warmth of the grape enter me as I heard the rats moving about the room, I preferred them to humans.being lost, being crazy maybe is not so bad if you can be that way undisturbed.New Orleans gave me that. nobody ever called my name.no telephone, no car, no job, no anything.me and the rats and my youth, one time, that time I knew even through the nothingness, it was a celebration of something not to do but only know. Charles Bukowski+He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.+ ~Friedrich Nietzsche
