My Interests

anything that doesn't have a destination .

I'd like to meet:

Anyone willing to take responsibility for their creativity and their intelligence. Anyone willing to take on something worth failing for . Anyone who is unwilling to settle for anything less than their dream. Anyone who is interested in creating a relationship with someone who is already playing The Master Game and living a life outside of the world of cause and effect. Anyone who is willing to receive . Anyone who doesn't have an improvement plan for life or who is still doing missionary work on behalf of their belief system. Anyone that recognizes and appreciates romance , glamor , beauty and sophistication . Anyone that gets that the only thing worth living and dying for is nothing ......... no thing . And finally , anyone that gets that everything is perfect just the way it is as long as it doesn't stay the way it was and that the happiness is in the walking , we are always betrayed by the destinations .
