some dumb widget deleted my "about me" section, and I lost the ceiling cat. If you find her, please let me know.
It's all about me really. Sarcastic, impetuous, calculated, lively, reserved, spontaneous, witty, intelligent, sombre, egotistical, modest, charming, live-wire, thrill seeking, reflective, contradictory, balanced, risk-taker, humourous, opinionated, charming, focussed, enigmatic, passionate, calm, outgoing, city slicker, beach sloucher, snow lover, night clubber, myspace junkie, music addict, sunset dweller, snow maniac,
You'll love me or hate me, there's no middle ground. I am always myself and some people can be offended by the concept that I will express my opinion whether you like or not. No-one I know has ever had a "nuetral" reaction to me.
Some of my favourite quotes
“Artistic Romanticism and rationality necessitate one another. Man’s endeavors are heroic only insofar as they are grounded in an honest dealing with existence, i.e., via logic. At the same time, logic demands that man think, grasp, expand his awareness and resist any outside pressures to desert his individual capacity for ascertaining the truth.
To evade thought, to refuse to comprehend, to abandon one’s own mind to the minds of others or for the purpose of living on the moment-to-moment, concrete-bound level of consciousness, is to express a profound hatred of life qua life. Logic, then, offers man only two alternatives: heroism or death."

"In Japan we have the phrase Shoshin, which means 'beginner's mind.' The
goal of practice is always to keep our beginner's mind. Our 'original mind'
includes everything within itself. This does not mean a closed mind, but
actually an empty mind and a ready mind. If your mind is empty, it is always
ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there
are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few."
- Shunryu Suzukin
He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
If you think you are talking to a fool, make sure that they aren't doing the same. Do not judge a man for his actions until you know his reasons why.
