Welcome to Mindhead.

About Me

"According to convention, I am not simply what I am doing now. I am also what I have done, and my conventionally edited version of my past is made to seem almost more the real 'me' than what I am at this moment. For what I am seems so fleeting and intangible, but what I was is fixed and final. It is the firm basis for predictions of what I will be in the future, and so it comes about that I am more closely identified with what no longer exists than with what actually is!"
-Alan W. Watts, The Way of Zen

"I have no fear that the national conscience will be put to sleep by such an open, glaring, and scandalous issue of lies."
-Frederick Douglass, May 1857

"Miracles will happen as we speak."
-Seal, 1991

My Interests

New York, snowboarding, design, yardwork, sports, colors, driving, walking, meals, snacks, conversations, travel, the ease of life, the abundance of love, and playing the game when necessary...

I'd like to meet:

People that do not suck. If you suck, or think you might suck, please do not add me as a friend. If you are already my myspace friend and your suckiness comes into question, upon careful consideration and review, you will be deleted if you do indeed suck. I encourage everyone not to suck so we can all be friends.
