I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

We are all the same, when we stop believing in the things that we think make us different.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People doing their best to poke holes in their ego. Those who want everyone to be happy, even those they don't really want to be happy. (Deep down I think everyone feels this way, they just may not know it.)

Goals:
To have total and complete acceptance for everything, or to accept that may not happen.

An idea:
If you picked a side,
You chose poorly.

Famous Quote:
"Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things."
-Epictetus (135 A.C.E.)

A non-Theist in an Atheist clothing.

I'm embracing the term 'Atheist' and going to label myself with it. Not that I really care about my lack of a belief in a creator God anymore than I care about my lack of a belief in a tooth fairy or ...

What happened to soup?

Yes, I changed my display name from 'soup' to 'Been'. Mainly because I acquired the nickname 'Been' from my nephew a few years back (his attempt at saying my first name 'Brandon' when he was a toddler...

PEZ flavored urinal cake

Let me get this out of the way... I baited you with the word "flavored", as I did not taste a urinal cake. Although, for all I really know the particular urinal cake in question may taste exactly like...

8 challenge or ironclad debate point... or not.

I like William Ayers.

With all the talk of Ayers being a "washed up terrorist", and linking him to Obama as a bad thing. I felt I needed to voice my maybe unpopular view that I actually really like William Ayers. I say thi...
