Relishing Life...

About Me

I had this huge amount of information and decided to take it off. I am a cool dork. At least, I think so and that's all that matters....

My Interests

Reading, intelligent discussions/ debates, dancing to 80's pop, listening to 70's rock, buying dvd boxed sets of tx series (why, i know not), bike riding, hiking, camping, nature, PHILOSOPHY - Plato in particular, noetic society, learning, wisdom, having fun, spending time with my "sisters", my family, TRAVELING, good people, crossword puzzles, tea drinking, meditation, scarves, thrift store shopping, GOOD FOOD, sushi!,chess, writing, and taking time to relax... Basically, I cannot be defined in words, but my actions can...

I'd like to meet:

If this means: as in people on this site, I really don't care. You never know which people will change your life forever. If you want me to add you as a friend, send me a message first or I will deny you. I am not on myspace to show how popular I am by having a zillion people as friends that I do not know. And if you are asking me to be your friend cuz you are trying to sell something on the internet, I will deny you in a second. Thanks and have a wonderful, peaceful day!Camel ride in Aswan, Egypt! Yvette is the camera woman. More footage of my camel ride. Yvette was too scared to take more! (love you, Yvette!)Christmas Eve on a cruise on the Nile in Egypt! Our musical entertainment So, this is what happens when you allow yourself to be dragged into a conga line on a cruise ship on the Nile on Christmas Eve, when you have nothing better to do than dance with a German girl who has better moves than you do. At one point she tells me to relax. Awesome.

Music:

I really like it. A lot. If I could go back in time and see any band, it would be Led Zeppelin, hands down. I really like The Shins too. And The Simpkin Project. And Tireless Engines, though they are no longer a band. and reggae... I like music a lot.

Movies:

So many... love comedies, like ones Will Ferrell and Seth Rogen and Jason Segal. The princess bride. super troopers. office space. the breakfast club. no country for old men. and others.

Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle- Vonnegut. The First Circle- Solzheintsyn. The End of the World News- Burgess. Atlas Shrugged- anything by Ayn Rand. Winds of War- Herman Wouk.
