Music bypasses logic and communicates directly to the soul...

About Me

I'm the truth-seeker, the optimist & the skeptic, a tourist persistently searching for the answer to a question that has not yet been asked. I'm constantly questioning this imbalance in our world; trying to illuminate the obscured path that can elevate us to a higher level of spiritual consciousness. I’m an educated, philosophically outspoken, artistically driven, exceedingly determined, and independent person. I live my life without regret. I rarely say ‘NO’ to any adventure that may cross my path, especially if the potential for a positive finale presents itself; I don’t mind chasing the rabbit down the hole, just as long as I can find my way out. Some say there is a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line. I’m a problem solver by nature… when I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong. I am 'real' and down to earth. I’m not a judgmental person and I don’t appreciate people who are. I am not religious, but I do believe in God, does that make me spiritual? I like to laugh and especially make others laugh. I can be a goofball… I’m not afraid to make a fool of myself to get a chuckle, particularly if it helps to make someone else feel better. I absolutely despise chameleons and counterfeits… Be yourself; everyone else is already taken! I love my family & friends and there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for them. I love my career and I work hard so that I can afford to create time to enjoy the things in life that really matter. To really live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist, nothing more. I think that humanity has really lost sight of the important things in life. For example, I believe a person is defined by the inspirations they implant into the hearts of others, and not by the amount of money they have or the type of car they drive. It is a scientifically known fact that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transferred. I believe that we are all made up of the same source of energy. When the soul leaves the body, that energy is released and dispersed back into the collective origin. All that remains are the memories we leave behind. I do believe in true love. LOVE is the point of this ALL, the purpose that was originally intended for us. I think mankind is completely missing the point. What do you think?.

I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy that could sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs or the side order of gravy fries? I want high cholesterol. I would eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese. Okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigars the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I might suddenly feel the need to. Okay, pal?" ~E. Friendly

I'd like to meet:

I am NOT here for dating... I'm really tired of all these arrogant, egotisical, shallow, insecure, co-dependant, 'MYSPACE CELEBRITY' wannabe posers that are constantly fishing for comments to make themselves feel surperior and better than anyone else. If you have to ask someone to compliment you, is it truly a compliment? I'm disgusted by all of the trashy, porn-star, stripper wannabe skanks that think they’re shit don't stink and post entirely inappropriate photos of themselves. Especially the ones that have 4 kids by 6 possible daddies...kill yourself!

Television:

The media will quickly turn your brain into toothpaste. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't and we're slowly learning that fact.~T Durden
