I'd like to meet:

I'd Like To Meet:

People who will teach me, or learn with me, or learn from me. What else do you still want to know in life?
"In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him, and in that I am his pupil."
I want to know what it feels like to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, to ride a wave, to run with the bulls, to know just how to do every dance and feel like I'm floating on air while I do it!

I want to know how it feels to paint something that people can appreciate even if they can't fully understand it, to have pictures that everyone knows who it was taken by, to tell a story that makes everyone who reads it smile or laugh, or shed a tear because they feel that they're not alone in the world after seeing it.
I want to know people that touch lives, and who let their lives be touched by others.
"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children, to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give of one's self, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--that is to have succeeded."

Books:

Books:
The Sword of Shannara series, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Dragonlance series, Anything and everything by Dean Koontz. Douglas Coupland, he seems to have a great style. Wil Wheaton has impressed me beyond words with his writing. Everything from his blog to his books has been amazing to read, and an absolutely sweet surprise.
A readers dream is An Actor's Nightmare ... clickie or check it out in my top friends! Boy did that sound commercial... but yeah, it's a great series.
I'm open to any good book suggestions! Hopefully I'll be reading a lot more at some point soon, I miss it really and should do a lot more.

Heroes:

Heros:
My mom is my biggest hero. She's always come out ready to do what needed to be done. She is amazingly strong, and thankfully has passed that on to her children. I don't think I would have survived this long in my life had she not taught me what real strength and integrity is all about, and that you can always have that and be true to your beliefs and morals, no matter what the world or anyone in it is doing around you.
