I am here for Friends

About Me

I am what I am...Realistically Idealistic, Certifiably Optimistic, Intermittently Absent-Minded, Dimensional-Comprehensively Gifted, Time-Abidingly Challenged, Nominally Numb... Grammatically Insufficient.

I like what I like...Helping others in need, Finding the aesthetic in everything, Enjoying great music, Meeting interesting people, Seeing new places, Contemplating abstract ideas, Conjuring creative solutions, Playing in the leaves/snow, Living near the ocean, Taking standardized tests ; ] , Getting lost & just barely meeting deadlines.

All Saabs go to Heaven, most just take a REALLY l,ooo,oooNg time to get there.I want what I want...A new national government- or at least a "Middle Party" with the balls to be rational non-extremists (It's ok to share oppinions!), A universal ethics code, A fully equiped tree-house, Back stage passes at a White Stripes concert, A position in Ocularistry, an old BMW motorcycle w/side car, and A Boston Terrior & a Great Dane w/ the same markings. ('Godwin' & 'Darwin' perhaps?.. a matching kitty named 'Edwin'...;])

My Interests

prosthetics, theological/physiological theoretics, creative problem solving
