If I know what I want, why can't I just have it?

About Me



~You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. ~
~ All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. ~
~ Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. ~
~BUDDHA~
Who am I? I'm a little bit Rock Star, a little bit writer, a little bit photographer, a little hippy, a little punk, a little goth, a little bohemian...
I'm a 'learning' Buddhist and a vegetarian of 20 years now. *grin*
I don't consider myself liberal or conservative, I consider myself realistic with a reasonable amount of common sense.
I am passionate about music, and all forms of art, and admire those who are gifted enough to create it.
I'm an avid photographer and take hundreds of pictures of the things around me and people in my life. You can see them by clicking on the picture right here:
I am parking all future mobile phone pics here: http://xsyntriksapathy.vox.com/ . All DSLR pics will continue to be posted on Flickr and the older mobile pics already on Flickr will remain.
I love deeply and have a loving and compassionate spirit.
I am 'anti' nothing but 'pro' many things. 'Anti' has such a negative connotation and I prefer looking toward the positive in my life.
I am the designer of my desity. Are you?

"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls." ~Joseph Campbell~
