About Me

"(I)n heaven's name, who are the public enemies?" [...] "Are they France, England, Germany, [insert name of any country we are at war with] or hunger, cold and nakedness?" Welcome to the world as Edward Bellamy imagined it. A world, where there is no poverty or hunger, people are all kind to each other, we take care of each other, we stand up for each other, and we live in peace. I am inviting you to create a world like that over the internet. "Myspace" has created a forum of connectedness across the world. I invite you to help me create a virtual reality where we imagine our world as I described it above. I am interested in a number of social issues, which I periodically write about in my blog. I don't claim to be an expert of any sort, these are just stories of the world through my eyes. I welcome discussions on any other issues that you would like to address. I welcome your comments and suggestions.

You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

What Mythological Creature are you? (Cool Pics!)
created with QuizFarm.com“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists and the hopes of its children.” (President Dwight David Eisenhower, April 16, 1953)

My Interests

reading, writing, movies, dancing, video games, yoga, walking, bellydancing, daytrips, and long drives on open roads to clear my head and steady my spirit

I'd like to meet:

When I decided to start this project I was told that people are not interested in social change. That community is disappearing. I was also told that we have to accept the world the way it is. But I don't like the world the way it is, and I know many of you out there feel the same way. There are over 117,000,000 people on Myspace. There is a vast community here and a great pool of ideas! Maybe we can come up with a better way. So, I would like to meet all people with ideas as to how to create a better world, all those that would like to see a better world, all those who can immagine a better world, and all those who would like to live in a better world. And invite all your friends, too! Let's have some fun creating. :o)"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it." The Talmud
Your Birthdate: May 23
You're not good at any one thing, and that's the problem.
You're good at so much - you never know what to do.
Change is in your blood, and you don't stick to much for long.
You are destined for a life of travel and fun.

Your strength: Your likeability

Your weakness: You never feel satisfied

Your power color: Bright yellow

Your power symbol: Asterisk

Your power month: May What Does Your Birth Date Mean?This is all logical, though, seeing that there are so many things that need to be changing for us to live in a world that I imagine. Many of my dreams came true in front of my eyes and I am hoping that this one will, too. Change is possible with hard work and passion. At this time in our Earth's history, there is enough wealth and knowledge that no one should go hungry, or cold. So, now that we have awakened to the truth that democracy may still be alive in this country, maybe we can move on to the Alternative Budget proposal that you can read in my blog, and truly vote for bread and butter and not guns.

Music:


You Have a Choleric Temperament
You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.

You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.

At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior. What Temperment Are You?I actually believe that we all deserve, could and should have a life like that. Does that sound like my narcissism speaking? Well then, let me give it wings... :o)
