About me: I like the same things everyone else does, and could spend forever listing them. But I won't. In honest truth, more than anything, I like ideas. An idea is the forefront of human creation. It can move things in ways you'd never have known. But having said that, my favorite part of an idea is that it can change things. I see ideas in the world every day. Even society and civilisation is based on the idea that we can become more than simply animals/mammals and have a fully functioning world.
DAYDREAM
My head is in the clouds,
Escaping from reality.
My attention is in outerspace,
And not where it's supposed to be.
Dreaming of being so lost
In a neverending place.
Be content with nothing;
Pushing my existence
For the thrill of the chase.
Reality will always be real.
I cannot avoid what I feel.
Into my place every night,
I have Infinity in my sight.
The Three Laws Of Robotics
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
I love ideas of the future. I can spend days imagining how things can change and be so different from how they are today. I'd like to find an idea that I could spend my entire life working at, helping it evolve and become more integrated into this world; one true idea that would help change something and make it work.
I'm also very much interested in Space exploration. Maybe it's the dreamer/adventurer side of me that is rarely seen. The Universe is the only thing that has yet to be fully explored. We have telescopes and satellites to see so far already, but the real challenge is manned exploration to the stars. If we believe enough, it is a common goal that can put our differences aside for the good of the species as a whole. It is not a competition between countries to get up into deep space first. The stars aren't going anywhere. Imagine what could be achieved if we all worked together and made it happen.
My friends are my friends because they are understanding and inspiring to how the world is around me. They have taught me about how to be a better human being just by being them. My closest friends who know me inside out have shown me that it's okay to be me, no matter how random and strange it could get. My family are wonderful. They are the ones who I try to make proud with everything I do. Especially since I am no longer in the youngest generation of family. It's a part of getting older and growing up.
The Human Race is the most real thing there is. I have known that for a long while. It is the only thing that should matter. We are amazing, unique, and intelligent. We can be great if we see past differences, and stop finding ever more ways to divide ourselves in our imperfect civilised society.
But I am not blind or ignorant. I know, accept and believe in a higher power. Outside of our Human world, there are laws of physics and nature that make the world we live in work. Physicists have spent their entire lives studying the way things are in the hope to understand the world around us. It is a force of nature that spreads throughout and around the universe we are in. It is a force that is just as alive as we are. There are rules and laws of which we are slowly learning.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone and everyone. I like to learn from life
and learn from people.
A friend once told me that she had a conversation
with someone that she is now quite close with.
The first thing they talked about were her
beliefs and convictions. It wasn't what she had
expected, and not what we'd expect. But the
reason for this starter topic was that his
philosophy of friendship is that the best way to
know a person is by knowing what they believe.
Within the human spirit, the beliefs and faith of
a person is one of the strongest parts of the
human being. Faith is the ideal of Hope. I agree
with that.
I don't judge freinds by their beliefs though.
For me to really know a person, I watch the art
they create. It is my Friendship Philosophy that
anyone can create a piece of art. It doesn't
matter how bad you think it might be. Art is not
a competition. In whatever form, beauty and
vision comes from the heart and soul of that
person. I can see who someone really is by what
they create. Even if you're set the task of
making a piece of art, and choose not to take it
seriously, that will still define who you
are.
Having said that, I really would like to meet
anyone and everyone. There are over 300 Billion
people in this world right now. Throughout your
entire lifetime, you'll be extremely lucky if you
meet even just 0.00001% of that, which is just
300,000 people. Make each person you ever meet
count as a friend. Make a good impression, and
learn from each person you meet. You'd be
surprised how much information you've already
picked up by just listening and learning from
others.
I appreciate your comments and love - I try hard to return the love but sometimes it gets overwhelming. You are always in my heart and please remember your importance to me.

Sorry if I have a TWISTED sense of humor. This is an obnoxious attempt to get more blog subscribers. Basically just taking a break from writing my novel. Hope it interests you.
To celebrate the completion of my second poetry book, Worn Pajamas, I will be offering my first book, Life Inside Pajamas: A Poetic Look at Modern Society, as a FREE download. Just my way of saying thanks for the support over the years. Check out my blog for info how to download.

“If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies.” -- Nadine Stair
"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." -- Alan Cohen
