I'm not your penicillin, its only a lethargic escape. Certainly not your stupid dog, licking ass for compliments. My own life inspires me--no confectionaries, only raw personality..Can take no losers on the loose, they're contagious.. Self-righteous and holier-than-thou people - sickens me..Jaded of being at the receiving end of backbiting and skulduggery. Surely not fond of senseless inhibitions and toxic fears.. I look for beauty, confidence and sincerity. I have no insecurities because in a world of unique individuals, comparison is a meaningless activity..And talking about long-term relationships, I could name a gazillion traits that I look for in a gentleman, but when I meet "the one", he may not be a mile nearer to my checklist, but I love him the way he is – no but’s, no why’s, no how’s and definitely no if’s.

Oftentimes the best songs, however silly they sound, are the ones which can speak for you right at that certain moment...
Life is Beautiful (nothing has moved me more deeply than this one did..), Under the Tuscan Sun, Coach Carter, The Passion of the Christ, A Walk to Remember, Serendipity, Reality Bites, Apocalypto, Face/Off, Braveheart, Alive, Shawshank Redemption, Their Eyes Were Watching God. Forget the reviews, forget the Oscars. It’s not a matter of craze nor taste, but a matter of connection and nourishing a hungry mind.
Oprah, Prisonbreak, Discovery Channel, Hallmark Channel has a couple of inspiring movies as well, StarSports, MTV, HBO, National Geographic Channel, Lifestyle Network (to switch me back to a non-geek, social mode) and -- News (i don't know why) etc
One Hundred Years of Solitude (I’m reading from a master), Pablo Neruda’s poems, Maya Angelou's (truly, truly inspiring pieces) The Alchemist, The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter, Sketches, The Romanov Prophecy, Bob Ong Books (hahaha), The Communism Manifesto, The Lovely Bones, Worst Case Scenario Series, The Rule of 4, Count of Monte Cristo, Hypnerotomacchia Poliphili, Chicken Soup for the Soul; opuses of Kahlil Gibran, The Hardy Boys!! Mystery & Suspense books, Travel books, Historical Romance books, Cosmopolitan, Dictionary (WWHAAt?!), almost anything, I travel through books – and though I may not recall the characters, I remember exactly what felt while reading a particular book
I haven't saved any lives, nor really made a huge impact on other people. I sometimes tell a lie, get angry without reasons, can be impatient, demanding - I'm not perfect but every good and bad thing that happens in my life inspires me to be better.. So I would say I am my own hero.
