ABOUT ME

i love new experiences. and good old ones. im trying to learn about everything i can. i like open minded people. i will befriend anyone. I am kind, calm and get along with all sorts of people
I am accepting of our differences and our faults.
I am a short term pessimist, long term optimist with a cynical streak...but I am not jaded.
I often find myself in situations that bring to my awareness the awesomeness of being alive.
I have a love/hate relationship with everything.
I can be critical, but try not to be an asshole about shit...
I hate alooooot. and talk a lot of shit. but only because the next item:
I just want things to be better.

I am hopeful for humankind

also i cut and paste most of that from my okcupid profile. :P

PHILOSOPHY

put out good energy. do your best. make people smile. everything is connected on so many levels...everything affects everything, so i try to do things to make peoples lives a bit easier if i can.
