(Rrrright, when she comes around and clunks me on the head !!! Where is this girl?) Hobbies and other attributes Anyone who knows me knows I have broad interests that range from art and culture to technical jargon. I always try to be open to new stuff as not to build blocks that stagnate and constrict the enjoyability of life. You could say I dig alot of stuff... In no particular order... Computers I'm a proud computer nerd, currently I have 5 computers on my home network that I use for various tasks from training on software and operating systems to burning CD's, playing games (once in a awhile when I get a chance to get some friendstogether for a LAN party), working on computers for the business, and just plain old veggin' out on the net Music I love music so much that I don't think I'll ever get enough of it. I listen to everything and as my friend Troy put it, "If I had my way people wouldn't know where to go in the music store..." I believe music is ultimately free and I'm a supporter of file sharing. I'm all for a new system that rids the old format of big music companies who are all marketing and money based giving less than 1% of profits to the artist. Let the artist decide what, when, how and where thier art and creativity is expressed. I go out to see my friends and the band Monkeybus perform in the Philadelphia area alot here is thier page check it out... I've love to sing at karaoke, I've taken flute and piano lessons before, and play around with my synthesizer a little but, someday I'd like to pick up the guitar and be really proficient... MP3's What can I say, I've had the opportunity to hear and share so much enjoyment because of these 3 little characters. I have almost 15,000 now !!! Spirituality I'm open to just about anything that brings me closer to my self and enlightenment, excluding TV evangelists and and all that stuff thats just out of control. I find myself more interested in Buddhism in the past 10 years, I've been to temples, sometimes I meditate on my own and I've even considered becoming a monk for a time in my life. I believe that everything we need is inside of ourselves. Someday when I'm ready, I may follow in my parents footsteps and recieve knowledge from Guru Maharaji Random thoughts... Trying to make it all work out now Family Mom - whatever artistic bone I have in my body I got from mom, She's a true artist who is subjective, versitile, and amazes me with the broad range of creativy she posseses, (and, she's also an art teacher!) Dad - I have to attribute a part of my character to my father who has been the rock of our family, always there, still, patient, ever wise, and a thinker who everyone turns to for advice. Spiritual, a meditator, reader of many books, full of thoughts and a philosopher by nature. As time goes by and I become older I realize what an example he sets for me... My brother Vince - I always wish we could be closer man. I used to think "someday we'll be all grown up and things will be different" We've become closer in the past year due to finding a common interest in paintball. I want to see you do well... My sister Donna - We all miss you and hope someday you will come back to us... I'm totally against drugs, all I can say... Culture I love different cultures. To see how people live and do things differently intrigues me and makes life so much more interesting. Everything from language, dance, to food or just plain old people watching makes me feel more of a world citizen opposed to being caught in the monotanous local grind. Part of this is made up of my circle of friends who are of all types and when we go out I'm very proud to have them by my side. They are the best... Food I don't cook very well but, I love the stuff... you could say, I eat out alot, especially travelling alot for work. I've got making breakfast in bed down along with making some decent BBQ, and I'm an expert at making instant noodles hehe Style Yeah, I have some... But the $tuff I like alway$ $eem$ to be kinda expen$ive Quotes Alot of the following quotes I find to somehow explain those things that can only be explained in this way because the exact words don't exist. Some of these seem to reflect a significance in my life events and feelings... No love, no friendship, can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever. - Unknown The power of silence becomes stroger than the power of words. - Unknown Long you live and high you fly, smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry, all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be. - Pink Floyd If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd have fallen apart by now. - Incubus The man who lets himself be bored is even more contemptible than the bore. - Samuel Butler The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true. - James B. Cabell It is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies. - Arthur Calwell He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does no ask remains a fool forever. - Chinese proverb Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others. - Winston Churchill I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. - Confucius Dreaming permits each and everyone of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives. - Willam Dement Always do what you are afraid to do. - Ralph Waldo Emerson When I was a boy I roamed the desert searching for falling stars... - Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon *You should no confuse your career with your life - Unknown* When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who percieves a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy - Unknown Only now do I start to realize how short life is, and to touch people in the sweetest way is the only way to pass on this journey. Of all the beautiful people I've met in my life I know that I will never have enough time to share everything I could ever want with you. So I smile and imagine understanding between us. As the water passes under the bridge we enjoy life as much as we can without regretting the choices we make, because there is no time more important than right now ...... self ...... |
