Favorite Quotations There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all Mario Savio Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our mind ...Bob Marley
What I Can Share With Hosts

My Interests
High altitudes, painting up a storm, putting googly eyes on things, swimming in the ocean, watching the sunrise, learning what makes people tick, musical expression.
