Actions speak louder then words.

About Me

To laugh often and love much: To win the respect of intelligent people And the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics And endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a little better, Whether by a healthy child, A garden patch, Or redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm And sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier Because you have lived... This is to have succeeded.Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Interests

All I want to do is be me. Care about my fellow man. Learn from everything life has to bring, and hopefully help others learn as well. Life's too short to get caught up in all the stupid popularity games. What have you done to help someone today?

I'd like to meet:

Anyone that can judge me by my actions, and the conversations we've had. Not by the courts of popular opinion.

Movies:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. 24hr Party People. All 3 Lord of the Rings. Eddie Izzard "Dressed to Kill." Ravenous (1999)

Television:

Anything I can learn from, or humor that requires thought.

Books:

"What's the Matter with Kansas" by Thomas Frank. "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. "Hegemony or Survival" by Noam Chomsky. "Shambhala:The Sacred Path of the Warrior" by Chogyam Trungpa. "Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu (Victor H Mair translation, from the Ma-Wang-Tui manuscripts) "The Joy of Work, Dilberts Guide to Finding Happiness at the Expense of Your Co-workers" by Scott Adams

Heroes:

Ghandi,Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, The Dalai Lama. Anyone that creates change through compassion and patience. Regardless of religion or ego.

I'll miss your smile.  I'll miss your laughter. I'll miss how you seemed to quietly see everything, and be at the center of it all too. It seems like the world loses some color and becomes more g...
