CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, be happy, laugh, become enlightened

ABOUT ME

Peace-loving music-breather, hyper-analytical independent thinker with absurd humor. Shy, socially awkward initially but otherwise very warm, engaging, playful, silly. Into the more experimental artsy out there kinds of film and movies and art and thinking. Very very into music - I worship it. I have a lot of instruments and sort of play them.

PHILOSOPHY

Mind is the default quality of the existing. Consciousness is elaborately interdependent self-feeding self-reflecting loops within mind. We are all one multi-faceted being and the bad crap comes out of failure to remember and reflect this. I try.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the light of Jebus. Ummm.. my cat fetches foam balls and we play on the stairs and its really cool? I saw ruins and went cave tubing in Belize. It was gorgeous. I saw a deer in a foggy glen once (or was it a glen? what's a glen?). Wonderful. I fasted for 3 days once. I think I had a near-death experience as a baby, from electrical shock. I saw a white light. Or else I dreamed this, but it was still beautiful. I have had many amazing concert-going and listening experiences. I have loved someone as myself, and got banished from her too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Ah yes grasshopper. I'd like to teach but honestly I'm too caught up in my life-grind to relax. Too used to being alone in my thoughts. Occasionally I have a mind-blowing conversation with someone, we get there together. And then ages pass. I am often tired after work and fail to do the things that would make the world shiny. Including getting more sleep at night, ironically. In my best moments I think I can be enlightening. I am very rational but like emotional topics. Psychological/cognitive stuff.
