In his book "How To Win Friends And Influence People", Dale Carnegie suggests that when meeting someone new it's best not to talk a lot about yourself. So if I want to make any friends here, I suppose that I should keep this short. Besides I believe that people see us differently than we see ourselves, so anything that I say here will most likely be argued by someone who knows me.
I'm happy. I'm sad. I cry. I laugh. I think kissing is wonderful. I sing. I write music. I fell in love at 22. I dream. I read. I like books that are older than I am. I've been writing a book of poetry and prose for almost 5 years and I still don't know when it will be finished. I'm yin. I'm yang. I'm a tall drink of water. It seems to me that a lot of people worry so much about death and what happens next, that they miss life and what's happening now. What makes life interesting...that it has more questions than answers. I voted for Barack Obama. I think the more that you try to control life, the more life controls you. Robert Rauschenberg died on my birthday in 2008. I'm the observer and the observed. I'm alive. I will die...almost certainly in this century.
"What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.... If I sit still and don't do anything, the world goes on beating like a slack drum, without meaning. We must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward; the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine." -Sylvia Plath
