That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach." --Aldous Huxley, Case of Voluntary Ignorance in Collected Essays, 1959

Outdoor recreation
(from the mountains to the sea and everywhere in between, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, backpacking, camping, mountain biking, white water rafting, canoeing, kayaking, skeet-trap-and-target shooting, skiing, swimming, bodyboarding, boating, fishing, those notorious "long walks" on the beach, skateboarding, riding dirt bikes, four wheelers, wave runners, snow mobiles, etc.)
I also enjoy drawing, sketching, painting, digital photography, etc. I really love working with my hands and can take just about anything apart and put it back together again - sometimes even minus a few spare parts that don't seem to do anything, increasing it's efficiency ;)
As long as I have the right tools, there's really not too much that I can't do.
Music
"In a world of peace and love, music would be the universal language."
Really though, just give me something that I can dance to!!!
I've always enjoyed listening to a broad and diverse range of music, but for several years now I've more or less focused my attention to an assortment of EDM genres.
More often than not I'm listening to House, Trance, Breaks, Electro, Techno, Progressive, Tech-House, Tech-Trance, Hardstyle, D'n'B, et cetera. And for those times when I just have to chill, I don't hesitate to set the mood with a healthy dose of ambient, chill-out or jazz infused downtempo.
Now don't get me wrong, because my music taste is very eclectic - it's just that EDM has grown to be the mainstay of what I've been listening to for several years now.
Variety is the spice of life and there is much beauty to be found in diversity!
"Dance is the movement of the universe concentrated in an individual."
"Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube. This tube is the gospel, the ultimate revelation; this tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers; this tube is the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people..."
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Aldous Leonard Huxley, Hunter S. Thompson, Edgar Allen Poe, H.L. Mencken, Pythagoras, Schopenhauer, Athanasius Kircher
"...the road that leads towards happiness from the inside out, through health, through awareness, through a change in one's attitude towards the world; not towards the mirage of happiness from the outside in, through toys and pills and non-stop distractions."
Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence
You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well.
An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly. You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view.
A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.
You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.
Giddy-up partner! You're a maverick and don't know what the definition of normal is. That's a-okay because you're now part of a fascinating group of desperadoes. Wherever you ride, it's sure to be off the beaten path because it's way more fun to find the path least traveled.
Idealism centers around the belief that we are moving towards something greater.
An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within ourselves, waiting to emerge over time.
Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.
Your humor has an intellectual, even conceptual slant to it. You're not pretentious, but you're not into what some would call 'low humor' either. You'll laugh at a good dirty joke, but you definitely prefer something clever to something moist.
You probably like well-thought-out pranks and/or spoofs and it's highly likely you've tried one of these things yourself. In a lot of ways, yours is the most entertaining type of humor because it's smart without being mean-spirited.
You Are a Natural Flirt Believe it or not, you're a really effective flirt.
And you're so good, you hardly notice that you're flirting.
Your attitude and confidence make you a natural flirt.
And the fact that you don't know it is just that more attractive!

"We never have enough information to enable us to fully understand the truth of the reality around us. And there is never only one correct perspective about anything.
Knowing this helps me let go of my tendency to label things as good or bad. I suffer least when I can accept reality just as it is. And I benefit most when I open my heart and mind in appreciation.
If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgment of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgment now."
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
"Little do men perceive what solitude is, and how far it extendeth. For a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there is no love."
"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away"
"What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life but what a man is thinking of all day? This is his fate and his employer. Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so we are."
In the face of those narrow-minded souls who always want to judge or criticize, I've learned to defy convention by blazing my own path on this long and treacherous journey that is called life.
I'm a spiritually guided introvert adamant on breaking out of my shell so that I might be better able to make a positive and lasting mark on this world. I've already embarked on this journey and there's no way that I could ever turn back, so please don't even bother trying to dissuade me from achieving my dreams.
I'm overly complex, sometimes contradictory and am often just plain mysterious. I can't be accurately penned into little boxes, so don't even try it. I'm extraordinarily talented and have a multifaceted personality to go along with my talents. I have an insatiable appetite for both worldly and spiritual knowledge and I excel on many levels even when confronted with adversity - something which, in one way or another, I've had to deal with for much of my life.
My intuition often borders on precognition and I'm critically introspective as well as keenly insightful. I'm constantly searching for and recognizing both the inner and outer beauty of this world - but in doing so I've come to realize that this material existence is only a temporal one and that it should only be treated as such. And while humility is hardly one of my greater virtues, you would be wrong to confuse my confidence with arrogance because I am one of the most laid-back people that you will ever meet. I would seriously give you the shirt off of my back if I knew that you needed it. I am what happens when bad boys turn good - overcompensating in the effort to try and make up for my past transgressions. Yeah, I've made more than my fair share of them - but now I think that I'll just have to plead the Fifth!
Love to live and live to love. Transcend your fears. Follow your dreams.
"What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great person is one who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude"

"The word courage has a Latin root cor, which means "heart". So to be couragous means to live with the heart. And weaklings, only weaklings, live with the head; afraid, they create a security of logic around themselves. Fearful, they close every window and every door-- with theology, concepts, words, theories-- and inside those closed doors and windows, they hide.
The way of the heart is the way of courage. It is to live in insecurity; it is to live in love, and trust; it is to move in the unknown, It is leaving the past and allowing the future to be. Courage is to move on dangerous paths. Life is dangerous, and only cowards can avoid the danger-- but then, they are already dead. A person who is alive, really alive, vitally alive, will always move into the unknown. There is danger there, but he will take the risk. The heart is always ready to the risk, the heart is a gambler. The head is a business man. The head always calculates-- it is cunning. The heart is noncalculating."
