I love playing the saxophone. I have a ridiculously long attention span for most activities. I'd rather do one thing at a time, and do it well, than do several things at once, and do them poorly. I despise superfluous abbreviations. I love big words. I am of the opinion that one has an obligation to one's self, and to the other humans, to strive to fully understand one's own behaviors and motivations, endeavor to maintain a healthy perception of reality that reflects what "is" (as opposed to what one might like it to be), and to treat others as one would like to be treated. That's right, my friends... even if they wear a funny hat, or they make less money than you, or they pray to a different invisible man than you do... We're all stuck on this planet together; let's try to make the best of it. "Let us persuade men to be just, beneficent, moderate, sociable; not because such conduct is demanded by the gods, but, because it is pleasure to men. Let us advise them to abstain from vice and crime; not because they will be punished in the other world, but because they will suffer for it in this." -Baron d'Holbach
