No one knows enough to be a Pessimist

About Me

Too much to cover. What makes me happy... the sun shining on me, sleeping in, painting, playing with someone's hair (which I don't often do), city lights at night, trying something new, watching movies for hours, standing up for what I believe in, traveling anywhere, sitting in front of a fire, the smell of the ocean, being understood, doing something for someone and expecting nothing in return, spending time with my family without arguing, making someone laugh, reading a good book, cooking, my niece (Isabela) smiling at me, impressionist paintings, the rejuvenating feeling when I'm in the mountains, listening to music as a form of escape, eating rolled tacos (good ones and yes Wes, that is what they are called), sunrises (the best one was from over Chicago- BEAUTIFUL), learning, taking a million pictures only to capture the essence of the moment in one. spending hours in a Barnes & Nobles or Hallmark store. seeing f Bush stickers on cars. orangina. sushi! the food network but I always get hungry. sex but only when it's meaningful. dave n' busters- house of the dead 4 ROCKS!! I dislike ignorant people (there is a difference between ignorance and stupidity).
