About Me

It's actually hard to describe myself. I don't know how some people can do it categorically and precisely. I admire that. I used to think I was a philosopher, but don't we all. To be honest, I've only perused through the 'major' philosophers. But according to the m-w dictionary a philosopher is also: a person whose philosophical perspective makes meeting trouble with equanimity easier. Whose philosophical tenet? Well, my own. I am more of a gazer though, and at times precarious due to my natural sense of curiousity, which killed the cat...i know. But I do know that I have more love in my heart than hatred. I always give people the benefit of the doubt, first impressions are NOT lasting impressions for me, making fun of someone because of their intellectual incapabilities, physical attributes, or conversational skills is not a topic of conversation. And the concept of being open minded is a myth. No one is open minded, it's a way of living, not a state of being

I'd like to meet:

If I were to say what kind of person I would like to meet, I feel as if though I would have this preconceived idea in my head that no one will ever live up to. So I have decided not to, and I have met some great people in my life. Some that are very close to my heart, others that are very close to my spleen. In the exterior, I would like to meet also Madeline Albright, President Clinton, Pedro Almodovar, and David Sedaris.

My Blog

Sunday

I think that Sunday is my favorite day of the week, especially during Summer. I used to enjoy going out late on Saturday nights and getting up late Sunday. But now I enjoy waking up early ...
