CURRENT MISSION

To learn the harmonica, some Chinese, and unconditional kindess and patience in all aspects of life. (All three are proving much more difficult than anticipated)

ABOUT ME

Well, I never know what to say on these things... Having said that, here goes nothing: I'm a calm person with lots of energy when needed, meaning, I enjoy hanging out watching movies, reading or just lazing around and chatting with friends, but I also really like going out, getting into all sorts of trouble, dancing all night and howling at the moon when I feel so inclined.
I'm not easily offended or shocked. Not by conversation anyhow.
I'm a sucker for a smooth talker.
I believe that the universe is infinite and complex and largely responsible for the wonderfully weird things going on. Deja-vu for example.
At some point in my life I'd like to live in a teepee. And befriend an unlikely, wild animal.

PHILOSOPHY

Ok, as far as I can tell everything needs its other in order to exist (every "I" needs a "you" in order to be an "I") so we are all both ourselves and our others and so we are all the same and different simultaneously, which creates nothingless than ultimate balance and in order to acheive this balance (ie understanding, ie zen, ie wholeness) consciously is to exist at the point where we are aware of both our duality (or polyality!)and our one-ness (for lack of a better word) simultaneously. Which can be tricky to do. But I'm working on it.
