About Me

"At the end of the day we can endure much more than we think we can." ~Frida"When you come to the edge of all the light you have known and you are about to step out into the darkness, Faith is knowing one of two things will happen...there will be something to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly."I'm gonna fly.If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, and ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for. ~Pamela PavukThe important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become. ~ Charles DuBois"When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverseAnd the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse?Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix youAnd high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worthLights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix youTears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face And I...Tears stream down on your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face And I...Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you"(Coldplay's Fix You)....

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in more than themselves. Anyone serious about making a difference in the world...and, along the lines of my previous statement, not just for the sake of self-preservation."Whoever is open, loyal, true; of humane and affable demeanour; honourable himself, and in his judgment of others; faithful to his word as to law, and faithful alike to God and man…such a man is a true gentleman." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

11/7/06 So close, but so incredibly far away. What is the destination? And if you don't know, how do you know how close you are or how far away for that matter? Is it really about the journey? If it ...

Out of the blue&book that is...9/9/06

9/9/06Why are some people so much more content than others, while others insist on resisting happiness even when it pounds on their door? I don't ask this question because I am looking for the answer ...

Out of the blue&book that is...9/1/06

9/1/06 I know that we have been somewhat conditioned into thinking that we need love - this was an epiphany I had while my life was turning upside down in 2004. And I realize that it is not truly...

About the "Blue Book"

FORWARD: Throughout the second half of my life, I have always kept journals. I believe that they can be a wonderful outlet for happiness, for stress, for things that you can not speak out loud - maybe...
