About Me

MySpace Layouts
it's much too difficult to sum up my entire being in a few short sentences. i'd rather not say anything for fear of doing myself an injustice.

My Interests

my family of course! and also expanding my knowledge in every way possible: educationally, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically

I'd like to meet:

What is the meaning of life? Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming, "WOW, what a ride!"

Music:

Life will be full of promise if we apply our ingenuity to slowing our consumption of the earth's resources and to closing the widening gap between the privileged and the millions living in poverty

Movies:

if you're early you're on time. if you're on time you're late. and if you're late, don't even bother showing up.

Television:

dlisted.com. experience is a tough teacher - she gives the test first and then you learn the lesson.

Books:

those who wish to predict a nation's future can do so accurately by analyzing the education and upbringing being given to its young people

Heroes:
