Living the dream.

I am here for Networking

About Me

The saying goes: "you never know what you have until it's gone."-- Unlike most, I don't take what I have for granted. I know that any day the things that I love most could go away, never to return again. When I wake up in the morning, I think of what I would want to do if I was going to die tomorrow, and then I try to do it. I'm not one for waiting around until things happen.
When I'm on my death bed, I hope I am surrounded by friends and the people that I've touched throughout my life. I know that we don't live forever.
Want to know about my life? Ask me. It's much more interesting coming from me than from some text on a page. Plus, you can't steal my identity this way unless you at least put an effort into it.
I like dance-walking around the mall while listening to my ipod. I get the craziest looks, but I also lighten up peoples' days.
I once gave a homeless guy a $20 bill so that he could "get home." I don't know if he used it to buy booze, but at least I have a clear conscience.
I like meeting new and interesting people. However, I hardly go any place where I have to actually talk to people. It's most unfortunate.
I have dreams of becoming famous. I want to be a model in some magazine somewhere wearing some expensive clothes I can't even afford while having some blank stare on my face so I can distribute the copies to my family in Venezuela because they will go absolutely crazy.
I have very good self control. I tend to not eat junk food.
I don't have a problem meeting new people I have never met before...but only if it's in someplace like a mall or I feel like I can trust you.
I message random people on craigslist. They probably assume that I'm some hideous creature like everyone else on there. They hardly message me back. Their loss.
I tend to use correct punctuation when typing stuff like periods and commas and apostrophes. However, I hardly ever use capitals when I am supposed to. This block of text is a rare exception.
I think way too much. I have so many thoughts that are interesting that I have to store them in my phone. My phone only holds 30 such thoughts, so I have to write them down so that they don't go away forever. Sometimes the 30 thoughts get full and I still have another interesting thought. When this happens, I have to delete the worst previous interesting thought and replace it with the new one. By this process, I'm left with only the most interesting thoughts.
I hardly ever update my about me section. When I do, I erase everything there was before and write either something that is very short, or very long.
I'm tired. I'm going to go to sleep now.
