I am here for Friends

About Me

In life you wear hats. My hat has changed. I am not my hat, my hat is not me. We live in a world where the garments used to adorn our lives become surogate definitions of "me" and "I am" outwardly. Inwardly, we rarely know ourselves in any sort of present stillness; we guess by a reflective parody of bombarding time and place. Know me for my love, for my passion, for my imperfection, for my reason, for my silliness. Know me for how and why, not where, who, what, or when - the former will always be me, the latter will continue to change as so many hats I wear.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

My Interests

Running, snowboarding, body surfing when I can, anything that keeps me active and in shape. Uncovering the mysteries of the mind. Anatomy and physiology. Medicine in all forms, particularly holistic. My Charlie-dog!...well, dogs in general. Horses. Travel. Playing guitar. Painting. Music, music, music, music, music. Movies. Concerts. Warm weather. Sleeping.

I'd like to meet:

In vain

Bury me with a mirror if I should die in vain;If I live in vain, bury me alone.Why is every song about falling from grace?Idle concern in place of faith, trying desperately insteadto save face. A sudd...
