About Me

"“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world,” (John Muir, Naturalist). I currently live in Sacramento, CA. I think in general I have a pretty good sense of humor. Personal Ideologies: I feel its important to have fun, but maintain direction in your life. The most important thing is to keep a forward momentum. Move forward not back, you know. So much of what we do is just wasted time, before you know it, time is up. It's important to do the things you have always wanted. Right now personal growth seems to be a major motivator in my life. I feel you should rejoice in your achievements, but also learn from your mistakes.I'm also a pretty open minded person. Dogma is the worst of all evils. One of my favorite motto's is "Don't knock it till you try it". Liberal or conservative, apple or orange, agree or disagree, I always have the time to listen . I think I have a good idea of who I am now, and if that's different then what the norm is, I'm okay with that. I'm not going to waste my life trying to keep up with the so called pretty people.Four other things about me, I don't like chain restaurants, I don't like George Bush, I hate saying goodbye, and I absolutely love dogs.
