My Random Quote

The best I can say is relative to how valid the experience has been for me. That is, if I want to honestly tell you about myself. Too many times people carry what they think is the best version of themselves. Too many times they neglect the weaknesses that sow their seeds of originality for the sake of being cool, trendy or accepted. Anybody who sets their MySpace profile to private or monitors their comments, is a potential world dictator.

The interconnecting tendency of mankind is starting gain more momentum than our desire for security and isolation. A great unfolding occurs when humanities connect; they make tactics like war or any form of aggression obsolete.


The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. - Bertrand Russell

Honestly, I have trouble with optimism. I have an easier time with doubt and know how to relish in the "what if's" that comprise my experience. Deception is far less complex than loyalty. The lie, to me, is more fascinating than the truth. Yes, the truth is paramount but its just the period to the end of a sentence. Truth holds too much finality to matter in this world made of pure ambiguity.

My Interests

"Our self-made human drama saga", cinema, acting, propoganda, chaos, love and disorder. History and Literature were my only good grades during report cards. Utopian literature. Satire. Ignored facts making ignorant societies. Genuine relationships not predicated on disinformation or secret expectations. Keeping it real. Counter-trendsetting ranging from fashion to political correctness. Academic debates (meaning not to be taken personally.)

I'd like to meet:

In being fooled quite a number of times, I have evolved and found certain tells that spell doom. To begin, I would say "thank you" to the woman who provide the eye candy as they disrobe to the horny mob but your striving for supercificial acceptance will doom my libido. I don't want to hear from people who derive their opinions from what they just saw in the movies or Fox or ABC. (I know that cuts out the majority of Republicans or Evangelical fanatics; well good riddance). I prefer books, magazines, random scraps of paper, a fortune cookie and if you can find one; a Zoltar machine.

Dissidents. Extremist. Progressives. Contemporaries. Bohemians. Conspiracy Freaks. Weird people. DOWN-TO-EARTH individuals. I want to meet the people that still know what a "house-party" is. I want to meet people who at one point thought 'Rad' was the greatest movie in the world. Or people that think that think Kate Winslet is not fat.
