Shannon "You give good quote!" Morgan

Pssst...Come here, I have something to tell you.

About Me


I'm not really on MySpace to make new friends, or to find my true love... mostly I'm on here because people fascinate me.
I love talking about things like politics, religion, philosophy, science, cultural paradigm shifts... you know, nerdy stuff like that. I'd like to meet some fellow nerds and continue to build on my nerdome.
If you can relate to any of the things I've stated, then feel free to drop me an email. If you want to get in my pants... forget it. You'll find me to be quite uninterested.
In a letter to a friend I once wrote, "Here's to the journey and forks in our roads... may we have the great wisdom to know the right path when we see it." That goes for you to America. :o)
“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
"Everyone sees what you appear to be, but few feel what you are."
Niccolo Machiavelli
Sometimes I feel like a fish out of water, and sometimes I feel like the water without a fish. Trying to find words to express that without using metaphors or poetry is somewhat of a challenge. Hopefully some of you will feel me. :o)
I'm Sex in the City gets it on with the Dr Phil Show and has South Park babies. If you want to know all "About Me" you should listen to one of my podcast shows, read the articles I write for BSU's newspaper The Arbiter, or my blogs. It's all there Daddy-O, yours for the knowing.

I love people and I'm interested in understanding them better. I love life and I feel blessed to be living it.
