I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

deep, spiritual, funny, friendly, witty, kind, caring, fit, healthy, clever, creative, courageous, compassionate, humble, tolerant, intelligent, always learning... here are some thoughts to ponder:
~ "FEAR IS THE LITTLE DARKROOM WHERE NEGATIVES ARE DEVELOPED" ~(M. Pritchard)
~"IN THE MIDDLE OF DIFFICULTY LIES OPPORTUNITY"~ (A. Einstein)
"THOSE WHO STAND FOR NOTHING, FALL FOR ANYTHING" ~(Alexander Hamilton)
~"WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE OVERCOMES THE LOVE OF POWER, THE WORLD WILL KNOW PEACE" ~(Sri Chinmoy Ghose)
~"IF ANY MAN IS ABLE TO CONVINCE ME AND SHOW ME THAT I DO NOT THINK OR ACT RIGHT, I WILL GLADLY CHANGE; FOR I SEEK THE TRUTH BY WHICH NO MAN WAS EVER INJURED. BUT HE IS INJURED WHO ABIDES IN HIS ERROR AND IGNORANCE"~ (MARCUS AURELIUS)
There's too much to write in such a small space... but, if you're truly interested in finding out more about me, read my blogs and let me know what you feel...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, M.K. Gandhi, Nichiren Daishonin, Daisaku Ikeda, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Yoda, Howard Stern, Don Quixote, Hunter S. Thompson, Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche, William Shakespear, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Bono, Al Pacino, Quentin Tarantino, Meryl Streep, Audrey Hepburn, Ayn Rand, Anthony Robbins, the person or being I was in a past life...

If you've noticed, at least half of these people are dead or not of this life, therefore a chance encounter with them would be unlikely... perhaps, if there are any people who posess the wisdom, compassion or artistry of any of the aforementioned movers & shakers, I'd be interested in meeting them also... Anyone whose mission it is to make the world a better place through their actions and selfless achievements is a true bodhisattva and someone I'd like to meet.

My Blog

HBO, dinosaurs and the "god issue"...

I just watched a documentary on HBO called "Friends Of God", about Evangelical Christianity in the United States, and, quite frankly, I've never felt more like I wanted to move to Australia as I do af...

The Dawn After the Blackest Night...

I've been to hell. I've seen it and I've faced the pain from the burns it has left on my pale skin. Skin that, by this time of my life should have been tempered by the storms and crashing waves that m...

"Youd better come correct..."

While this may just be me being overly sensitive to something that is not exactly a catastrophe; I feel the need to voice my opinion about an ongoing phenomenon that continually grates my nerves, like...
