CURRENT MISSION

To take it easy...

ABOUT ME

[I am]: a good person with whom to share a witty repartee. [I am also]: determined to travel, laugh and be happy. [I have]: lots of motivation. [impress me]: by being honest, charming and sarcastic. Intellect and knowledge of books helps too. [annoy me]: with ignorance, complacency and arrogance. [bribe me]: with chocolate. [I know]: what I need but I like what I want. It's a problem sometimes. [I want]: to make easier decisions. [I need]: a beach with lukewarm water. [I wish]: I could teleport at will. [I like]: being color coordinated. [I hate]: not as many things as I used to. [I can't live without]: laughter, music, dancing, a good book, bread, and cotton blossom body splash.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it or just don't do it at all. Just don't stress about it.
