ABOUT ME

Playful, but not annoyingly peppy.
Witty, but not overly brilliant.
Intelligent, but not a genius.
Oh, I tend to be a bit of a smartass.
Sorry, but at 2am, my thesaurus is a little rusty, so "no more half-witted synonyms for you!"

I strive to have some sort of balance in my life. I tend to be left brained but incorporate a lot of right brained activities into my life (I've recently started to learn how to play an electric guitar). I'm fairly easy to get along with. I enjoy a good conversation, whether it be something light or something deep. There's not much that I'm not interested in. I know this is pretty bland but I haven't had a lot of time to work my profile just yet. More to come...

PHILOSOPHY

The glass is always half full and half empty at the same time. It's up to the individual to determine how they view the world. It's not neccessarily bad to see the glass half empty. It's not always good to see the glass half full. The world "could" be a peaceful place for everyone. It is very unlikely that this will happen in my lifetime, but i do hope for such a miracle. Indeed, the world (internal and external) is whatever we make of it. Just because you do not achieve greatness in your lifetime doesn't prevent you from being a great person.

Debateable philosophies:
Men and women are ONLY biologically different. This accounts for 10% of the entire difference men and women debate about. Environment/upbringing/influence fills in the remaining 89%. Using your sex, race, religion, culture, disability to get your way or manipulate people does not constitute a valid excuse.
