About Me

I'm hot-headed, stubborn, and slightly arrogant - with good reason, since I'm too intelligent for most of you to comprehend. In an argument or debate, you will rarely ever convince me that you are right and I am wrong - but that's probably because I encounter a lot of stupid people on a daily basis. Those are my "flaws." If I was alive in the Middle Ages, I would have been burned at the stake as a heretic. Still wanna know me? Carry on. I like to travel the world. Hanging out in airports waiting to catch a plane to some far-off destination brings me great joy. I like seeing the different cultures of the world come together at airports, knowing that we are all bound together by our common desire to seek out new horizons or to visit good friends on horizons already met. Peace. We are the music makers
And we are the dreamers of dreams
Wandering by lone sea breakers
And sitting by desolate streams
World-losers and world-forsakers
On whom the pale moon gleams
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever it seems With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory
One man with a dream, at pleasure
Shall go forth and conquer a crown
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth
Built Nineveh with our sighing
And Babel itself with our mirth
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth
For each age is a dream that is dying
Or one that is coming to birth.
