Now I may not have much, but I have more determination then any man you're likely to ever meet

About Me



I am simple.
I am complex.
I try to see the best in people.
I'm nothing more than a man trying to find peace.
Trying.

I like poetry, and philosophy.
I enjoy sitting in the grass, watching the sun set.
I love listening to children playing in their perfect, imaginary worlds.

I dream that, one day, I will find happiness at the edge of the sea.
My true loves are the Sun, and the Ocean.

I am the real deal.
What you see is what you get.

Love is not a big enough word.

Red balloons are beautiful.
So simple, and so pure.
Red balloons, as dreams of the world.
So easily held, and so easily let go.

I'd like to meet:



I really want to travel to where these little critters live.
Maybe one day I'll start a pygmy zoo...

While sleeping, today, I ran across one of my dead relatives. It's amazing that the feelings and memories of the people we care for persist into our subconcious. I had not thought about this person fo...
