First, I am a believer. The people I know and trust, I believe will come through in the end and make good on their dreams and goals. People do have their flaws and occasional lapses, but in the end, my people will succeed, and I am behind them all the way.

Next, I am a do-er. If I get curious about something, I go out and learn as much as I can about it & then pretty soon I am getting other people to join in the fun. (This has taken us to some pretty strange places. o.o) If there's a place I want to see, I go there (and take hundreds of pictures!) If I have a complaint, I try to do something about the problem rather than just mooning about it.
Last, I am a study in contrast. I like philosophizin' but I don't take life too seriously. People say my thoughts are "deep" but I am still pretty goofy. I am not a fan of drama and angst, but I am a huge fan of Evanescence (especially the Origin CD!) I've lived in other states and traveled repeatedly to other countries, but I am still hanging around Michigan since that's where family is. I work in technology, yet I find magic in every corner. I am spiritual but not religious; I believe in every religion, since I find no conflicts between their basic messages (in the words of Bill & Ted: "Be excellent to each other"). I get along with everyone and find something to admire in everyone I meet, but I really enjoy my time alone. I am a human being. And I like it. ^_^
Other things:
I like Puma shoes. I'm really particular about the shoes I buy-- in fact, I'd rather just make my own. It can take me hours to decide on a pair of shoes (thankfully, in a self-service store), because none of the ones I find match my specifications. Which are, precisely: They need to fit, be flexible in front, offer support in the rear, and be black. That's it. You wouldn't think that would be hard to find, but it seems all the brick-and-mortar stores have is garish nasty colors or giant moon boots. Hey, man, I want to feel the floor when I walk. o.o I also don't want to have to hear myself walking; that's just annoying. Thankfully, I found Zappos.com earlier this year. They have just about every kind of shoe you can think of, and a superb return method, so you can try out several pairs and send the ones back that you don't like. Through Zappos, I have rediscovered Puma shoes-- I got a pair of the Future Cat Lows to start, and they were & are seriously ass-kickingly perfect for my feet. I DIGZ THE CATSHOOZ! Even the names are cool! As long as Puma keeps making Catshooz, I will keep wearing them. After a lifetime of "lesser of two evils" shoe purchases, I am so relieved to finally find some I like right out of the box. 'Cause I go places, man, and I do stuff, and I really like my feet.
Rock on, reader-person. Be excellent!
