I took this photo in May of 2006 in Anchorage Alaska at 12:30 in the morning from my hotel room.. the land of the midnight sun is one of the most breathtaking places ever to visit on earth!
A Hug - The Universal Prescription
A Hug ...
The Universal PrescriptionNo moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it's quite relaxable;It can't be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously.Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorate your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!Your circulation it corrects
Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think, the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend... the hug!And, of course, fully returnable!

"NIGHTHAWKS"
Edward Hopper
The best known of Edward Hopper's paintings, Nighthawks (1942), shows the lonelycustomers frequenting a downtown all-night diner. The diner's harsh electric lights set itoff from the gentle night outside. The diners, seated at stools around the counter, aresimilarly isolated from one another, reflecting on themselves.Nighthawks 1942

I'd like to meet:
I just think we have only so much time and life here to live and we need to, not only enjoy it for ourselves, but enjoy each others. We are all different in some way or another. We all hope, dream, feel and want to be happy. I vehemanently oppose anyone who tries to take that away from another. The people I embrace the most share those thoughts too. Just be real.. be honest .. be yourself...I am not pretentious.. you don't need to be rich or famous or some over achiever to get to know me. I am just a regular guy too. I am looking to meet fun and interesting people to have as friends who have passions and interests about the world and life itself.At times.. I surf around seeking new people to meet and I may find something about you I find interesting and send you a little note. I may invite you to be added. If you do the same and you would like to add me..please send a note along with it to say Hi and share something about yourself or what you liked in my profile. Thanks..If you are under 18 years old.. please read.... I personally have nothing against you.. but I do have a personal responsibilty to you and your family and to myself and my family so we will not sharing a place on each others list. I mean no offense..I prefer having older friends. Thanks.
I love a rainy day....
Music:
Fall in love or fall in hate.
Get inspired or be depressed.
Ace a test or flunk a class.
Make babies or make art.
Speak the truth or lie and cheat.
Dance on tables or sit in the corner.
Life is divine chaos. Embrace it.
Forgive yourself. Breathe.
And enjoy the ride......
(Solbeam)

Television:
BOOB TUBE
INDULGENCES
I could say I am not much of a Television person but I do try to catch Jon Stewart's Daily Show, Stephen Colbert's Colbert Report, Real Time with Bill Mahr. Top Chef and Project Runway for no thinking TV, and I enjoy HBO specials, Discovery Channel, History Channel, A&E and Bravo.. CNN for the news if I must.. I think cable news is crap.. its info-tainment.. at best.. Not into sitcoms or TV dramas.. I was watching LOST but the show is off and on faster than a hookers panties so my interest is becoming LOST!!
