About Me

I'm eclectic. I believe in art. Cunt is a favorite word of mine. I believe in the human condition. I believe in education and enlightening the ignorant. I do not believe in drugs. I believe in cocktails and after parties. I believe in Jose. I believe in good wine. I like looking good. I believe I'll marry anybody I happen to choose. I believe in honesty, brutal and otherwise. I'm a bitch. I believe I'm under- appreciated. I believe I'm sometimes a fake due to a current lack of options. I believe I'm too good for you. I do not believe in masking or omitting the truth. Life should be assessed at more than just superficial value. I believe I should practice that more often. I rarely show up on time. I'm so full of myself it hurts sometimes. I love my friends, I half believe we'll eventually stop talking. I believe in social interaction. I believe a cellphone is part of an ensemble. I believe in Language and Architecture. I dont believe in ignorance or the provincial attitude gripping America. I dont have much faith in god. I dont believe it'll save you either. I believe that I'm somewhat bitter and somewhat used. I believe that life is what I make of it, friends, lovers, the tragically simple people who make up the scenery. I believe my opinion sometimes causes blunt trauma. I believe that religion throughout history has profained it's own existance and is quickly approaching irrelevance. I believe in political activity. I believe in mistakes. Without which, some people never grow. I believe that censorship is counterproductive. I believe that I'm entitled to the truth always. It sets you free. I seek nor avoid conflict.
