About Me

I like nonsense -- it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. Its a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope...and that enables you to laugh at all of life’s realities ~ Theodore Seuss GeiselOur lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results ~ AnonRemember to keep your thoughts positive, for your thoughts become your words; remember to keep your words positive, for your words become your actions; remember to keep your actions positive, for your actions become your habits; and remember to keep your habits positive, because your habits become your destiny. - Peter JohnsonYou can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.""Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength” Eric HofferThe true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time.If one is estranged from oneself, then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. Anne Morrow LindberghWhat spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed?" - MichaelangeloThose who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. - Angela MonetI like to be in control of my life. I have a strong character & Im said to be high-strung at times. I see most things a little different than most; I have a big imagination & im optimistic. Im one of the nicest, most trustworthy and nonjudgmental people you will meet. im a positive-thinker, polite & like to believe that I live a balanced life ;) I cherish spent time with loved ones; my friends are my family. I am a nerd at heart. I love all things beautiful! My mind works in so many abstract ways. Music is my passion, I love all kinds, but nothing makes my heart smile more than electronic music. Photography comes next in my list. I enjoy to cook, chocolate, red wine, reading, quotes,museums, art that inspires me, Theater, literature, dancing, thunderstorms, watching The history channel, Traveling!!! Learning new cultures & ways of life, great conversations & anything psychedelic or supernatural. I like things that make me feel good. I love to laugh /make others laugh. No time for drama; hate confrontation. Im patient; not easily annoyed. I can pretty much handle any given situation. Im extremely forgiving; I guess that can be a good/bad thing. I have learned that If I can't trust you, I can't keep you.When I love, I love hard & I love exclusively. I fully believe in the Law of Karma. I respect other people's ideals & views on life, & demand the same level of respect from others. I can be your best friend or worst ghost. I hate people that try to analyze me & my personality or those who hurt others to make themselves feel better/more important. No patience for name callers, liars, jealous, Pretentious & ignorant people.And we didn't care about the social scene. Like, it didnt matter what you were wearing or who you were friends with or what you knew or wahat you didnt know. I dont really understand what's going on now, but in those days, we used to dance! - Dubtribe

My Interests

But then there's a moment like tonight, a profound and transcendent experience, the feeling as if a door has opened, and it's all because of that instrument, that incredible, magical instrument.Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built. James AllenYour mind will be like its habitual thoughts; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day.The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way.In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true is true or becomes true, within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the mind there are no limits. (Lilly, 1972)More fringe than mass reality, more weird than fringe, more abstract than weirdI love strange choices. I'm always interested in people who depart from what is expected of them and go into new territory.The eyes, like sentinels, hold the highest place in the body ~ CiceroWhat we learn only through the ears makes less impression upon our minds than what is presented to the trustworthy eye.Different eyes see different things. Different hearts beat on different strings. But there are times for you and me when all such things agree. RUSHMany people search blindly for the "meaning of life" What they don't seem to understand is that life does not have meaning through mere existence or acquisition or fun. The meaning of life is inherent in the connections we make to others through honor & obligation"This is the foundation of all. We are not to imagine or suppose, but to discover, what nature does or may be made to do.""ARCHITECTURE,n: The art of how to waste space."~Philip Johnson"Everyone is kneaded out of the same dough but not baked in the same oven."www.HouseFusion.org

I'd like to meet:

I want to surround myself with people who are deep & profound, Intelligent, powerful-minded, funny, interesting & electric. People who really care about life, the world & are honest, open & emotionally strong. Passionate people who have goals in life & love to talk about them. Creative, abstract minds that will teach me new things. people who aren’t afraid to think for themselves; whose opinions & thoughts are that of their own & are not construed or formulated by the influence of others. REAL people that are not programmed like most of today’s society.Man is neurotic. It is not that just a few men are neurotic but humanity, itself, is neurotic. It is not a question of correction for a few persons; it is a question of curing humanity as such. Neurosis is the 'normal' condition of man because every man passes through a conditioning, a training. He is not allowed to be just whatever he is. He has to be molded into a particular pattern. That pattern creates neurosis. The society gives you a pattern, a mold. You are cultivated into a certain shape and form. Only a fragment of your being is allowed to be expressed, while the remaining part is repressed. This creates a division, a schizophrenia. And the part that is suppressed goes on fighting for expression~Bhagwan RajineeshIf there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you. - T. Alan Armstrong"The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life." Frank Lloyd Wright"The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one's self to others." ~Pierre Teilhard de Chardin"This is the foundation of all. We are not to imagine or suppose, but to discover, what nature does or may be made to do."I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. because how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years and then I realized, you just say, "Hi." They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word. ~ Augusten BurroughsTo be a great producer, music has to be a big part of your soul. And when it comes to making music, if I could invent a way to get it from my heart into yours, without doing all that hard work, I would be very happy.” brian wilson
