About Me

"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. You can not now realize that you will ever feel better. Is not this so? And yet it is a mistake. You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have had experience enough to know what I say." -- Lincoln
currently: Finally doing a little performing again, and in the one show I've been dying to do since I decided I wanted to do theatre or had any interest in it. But the overall theme of recent months is still vaguely present - just..the knowledge and/or thoughts about whether or not I want to continue this in life...or if there is something else out there for me that I'm meant to be doing. The time between jobs is getting old. But I'm willing to...see.

I'd like to meet:

[recent conversation]

me: there really aren't many people like us are there?

michael: i consider us so lucky to be in that club.

passionate, spontaneous people. present, real people. people who don't mind being ordinary....or aren't afraid to be a complete dork and embrace themselves...because that is rare and therefore...special. beautiful. people who inspire me to be better. thinking people...questioning people. people who see...and love...and question...and work on life and themselves. people who are peaceful, awake and non-complacent. thoughtful people who also feel this energetic, internal charge to inspire change. to be the change we want to see. i'd like to talk to you.

um. i'm not really here to meet people. i don't have time in my life for more friends. but if you're one of those rare, incredible, unique people...i will find/make the time for you.

oh. and that man in the times square subway near the N/R/W that sings 'everything is gonna be all right' late at night. i always hear him when i need to hear that the most. if i could ever find him...he, i would give money to. or hug. i think about him a lot.
