About Me



No person can really define themselves. Especially into something as vacant and sterile as words. I feel that we define ourselves with our actions, not our intentions. No one really knows who they are, that's why we're here, to be confused, to experience, to grow and to learn. But once I find out this whole "about me" thing, trust me, Myspace will NOT be the first place I go to tell people.......Anyone that looks at life as anything more than pure entertainment is missing the point.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Good people. Musicians. Artists. Free thinkers. Like-spirited individuals who are not ashamed of who they are....... "Thinking is man's only basic virtue, from which all the others proceed. And his basic vice, the source of all his evils, is that nameless act which all of you practice, but struggle never to admit: the act of blanking out, the willful suspension of one's consciousness, the refusal to think—not blindness, but the refusal to see; not ignorance, but the refusal to know. It is the act of unfocusing your mind and inducing an inner fog to escape the responsibility of judgment—on the unstated premise that a thing will not exist if only you refuse to identify it, that A will not be A so long as you do not pronounce the verdict 'It is.' Non-thinking is an act of annihilation, a wish to negate existence, an attempt to wipe out reality. But existence exists; reality is not to be wiped out, it will merely wipe out the wiper. By refusing to say 'It is,' you are refusing to say 'I am.' By suspending your judgment, you are negating your person. When a man declares: 'Who am I to know?'—he is declaring: 'Who am I to live?' This, in every hour and every issue, is your basic moral choice: thinking or non-thinking, existence or non-existence, A or non-A, entity or zero. To the extent to which a man is rational, life is the premise directing his actions. To the extent to which he is irrational, the premise directing his actions is death."
