I'd like to meet:

* Rekindle old ties *

You Are a Caramel Crunch Donut
You're a complex creature, and you're guilty of complicating things for fun.
You've been known to sit around pondering the meaning of life...
Or at times, pondering the meaning of your doughnut.
To frost or not to frost? To fill or not to fill? These are your eternal questions. What Donut Are You?

Music:

I like lots of music, and I sometimes DJ as Sunshine with my cohost Dayglo on www.kzuu.org - or tune in at 90.7 FM if you happen to be romping around the Palouse!

1985 by Bowling for Soup
"Where's the mini-skirt made of snakeskin?
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become T.V.?
What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows?"

You took the bitter with the sweet in 2004 - and kept laughing. What 2004 Hit Song Are You?

Television:

Fragile Rock.

Books:

the book I read the most is my Baha'i Prayer book.

Heroes:

My dearest companion, Bill....

And of course, all you - my friends!
"...Then our life will be revivified, we shall enjoy eternal existence, be refreshed with the breath of the Holy Spirit and become informed of the mysteries of creation. Then we shall be inspired to upraise the standard of the oneness of humanity; we shall take a portion of the divine grace and become resplendent with the rays of the heavenly luminary; then the human race will mirror forth the attributes of the eternal kingdom and will move like a peaceful sea and each individual will appear as a wave. As we look upon the sea, we will comprehend it as the sea of God; as we look upon the waves, we will realize that they are the souls of humanity. The sun is one; all light is one; the rays are one; it shines on all."
~ 'Abdu'l-Baha', Divine Philosophy
