About Me

These are just some quotes that have caught my eye. I suppose in some way they do describe me.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does. leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both." -- Ancient Zen quote

"You can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire. Once the flame begins to catch, the wind will blow it higher" -- Peter Gabriel - Biko

"All you gotta do is keep paddling - there is always another wave coming" -- Gerry Lopez

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." -- Les Brown

"Experiment constantly. Enlightened trial and error outperforms the planning of flawless intellects" -- John Maloney

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing -- George Bernard Shaw

"Do or do not. There is no try."-- Yoda

"We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about." -- Albert Einstein

"The road to happiness lies in two simple principles; find what interests you and that you can do well, and put your whole soul into it - every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have.." -- John D. Rockefeller

Not even sure why I am putting this, but I want to make something clear. This is myspace people. Not the real world. I have friends on here and friends in the real world. Some are both and others are not. But if you judge me based on my friends here then I probably wouldn't want to know you in the real world anyways.

**** END NOTE ****

Cool, classy, sophisticated, educated, smart, athletic, artistic, cultured and open minded people. In a girl, I look for all those things as well. I'd love to find a girl who is my mental and physical equal. Someone smart and educated who is also an athlete. One of my favorite phrases is "All who wander are not lost". I'd like to find someone to wander around with ...
