Photography & Socializing *I like to meet new people and gain new experiences.
YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS!
I'm quite fond of movies!
...not so fond of TV. But when I do turn on the television: The 70s Show, Top Model, Darma and Greg, Family Guy, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Jeopardy
I've been such a nerd. I've been reading alot lately. Photography, Fiction, Non-fiction, Self-help, even listening to audiobooks.
QUOTES:
I LOVE ME! -Me
"I want you to forget about yesterday and tomorrow, and just make our own little world right here." Jimi Hendrix
"There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you."
"a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race....That's you, trying to disguise yourself as a worker bee That's you tryin' to blend in with the hive. But you're not a worker bee. You're a renegade killer bee. And no matter how much beer you drank or barbecue you ate or how fat your ass got, nothing in the world would ever change that."
Right now, I'm smiling.
Taking advantage of this moment
Because there might not be another soon.
Holding on to memories like roller coaster handle bars;
tightly cause I'm slightly off my rocker. But to you
I may appear to be your average joe.
But little do you know
that even joe got problems that he gots to joust with. -Andre3000 from OutKast (song: Extraterrestrial, album: ATLiens)
Losing all hope is freedom. -Narrator from Fight Club
No Fear. No Distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truely slide. -Narrator from Fight Club
Once you understand reflections of yourself... -Les Nubians (song: La Guerre)
Stop trying to control everything and just let go. -Tyler Durden from Fight Club
If you got glitches in your life, computer, turn it off and then reboot it.
Now you back on.
Can't just put the cap on the old bottle. Once you pop it that will spoil it. Gone (go ahead) and drink it and enjoy it. -Andre3000 (song: Millionaire, album: Tasty by Kelis)
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat" -Theodore Roosevelt (The Man in the Arena)
Life is a Theater
Invite Your Audience Carefully
Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of, or at least minimize your time with, draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships.
Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.
Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know or appreciate you?
The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.
"If you cannot change the people around you, change the people you are around."
Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on both our lives and our income. And so we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.
We should not share our dreams with negative people, nor feed our dreams with negative thoughts.
It's your choice and your life
It's up to you who and what you let in it.Author Unknown

George Clinton [song: PROMENTALSHITBACKWASHPSYCHOSIS ENEMA SQUAD (THE DOODOO CHASERS)]
I once had a life, or rather
Life had me
I was one among many
Or at least I seemed to be
Well, I read an old quotation in a book just yesterday
Said "Gonna reap just what you sow,
The debts you make you have to pay."
Can you get to that?
I recollect with mixed emotions
All the good times we used to have
But you were making preparations
For the coming separation
And you blew everything we had
When you base your love on credit
And your loving days are done
Checks you signed with love and kisses
Later come back signed "insufficient funds"
Can you get to that?
song: Can You Get To That artist: Parliament album: Maggot Brain
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
-Kahlil Gibran
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every expierence in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself. "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." -Elenor Roosevelt
