About

I'm basically awesome in every way, and everyone basks in jealousy... But really I'm not that self centered and conceded :) Love everyone, and unwaveringly pursue your passions. Never settle, remember you were born to change the world (for better or worse... but that's the next generations problem :) amirite?). In all seriousness, we are all amazing individuals who can do amazing things in the world. Let's all live together in an a wonderful peaceful paradise. Not saying it will be easy, nor should we ever expect recognition for our hard work, but we must have satisfaction knowing we try our best, and the best is all we can ask of ourselves. I know the path I am going down is not for the faint of heart, nor will be glamorous - And may well lead me to ruin, and suffering. However, I choose to pursue civic service because I believe in democracy, and the ideas of enlightenment, and open forum. I probably could pass an entrance exam for the crazy asylum, but Im not afraid to think thoughts that are out there, and question the very reality of my existence. I am shy until I talk to you, and then I could talk for hours. I give respect before its earned, simply because I believe we all deserve decency, and kindness. The world is too cold and mean to get in arms over trivial matters of life. I can be your best friend, and your nightmare, and have been both, but in pursuit of truth. If I am right, and/or fighting for a cause, you will loose. I really can't stand willful ignorance. I love listening to all kinds of music except for rap and most country. I watch adventure time, and the like, and can carry a deep conversation on the analysis of Winnie the Pooh. I love spontaneity, and embrace the presence of simultaneous ideas/realities, and they are all correct in their own respects. Basically I am a paradoxical conundrum... Thankfully I believe I come with a manual, if you can decipher gibberish making up about 5 million pages in length. But really, I am special like my mommy says :) No, I am me, unappoligetically unique. Also similar to many around me... The point: get to know me, you just might be surprised :) If you already know me I'm sorry... for the time I wasn't in your life (how dull) *Sarcasm in abundance Futuristic, Ideation, Input, Individualization, Strategic INTJ *Trust those above as much as you do standardized tests showing "actual intelligence and learning" _____________________________ Also Global climate change is happening... There is no debate. Deal with it, and lets do something about it... Or get out of the way

Favorite saying

• ""Seven blunders of the world that lead to violence: wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, politics without principle." — Mahatma Gandhi "Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared, but only men of character are trusted." -Alfred Alder "Its an elephant to make elephants"-Me "If you dont believe because there is nothing to believe in, you have to belive there is, and there will be."-Me " And so my fellow americans, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. And so my fellow citezens of the world, ask not what america will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. " -John F. Kennedy "Laura...That was like... That was like... Wow"-Me "Plan for the future, because that is where you are going to spend the rest of your life" -Mark Twain “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. [...] We need not wait to see what others do.” -Mahatma Gandhi "It is not the critic who counts nor the man who points out how the strong man has stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marked by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, and who spends himself in a worthy cause - who at the best, knows in the ends the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat. " -Theodore Roosevelt “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” -Dr. Seuss "Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." -A. A. Milne [for my dads' who always reminded me of this quote. I am forever grateful to have had such strong role models in my life, even if only for a short time]"
