About me: I am definitely not your typical guy. I am probably too damn shy for my own good. Too nice on top of that. Yup your typical doormat. I read more then should be humanly possible. I think that if I keep up at this rate I will probably have finished most of the fantasy section in Barnes and Noble soon. I'm a dork, I'm kinda proud of it. I make mistakes. I'm human. I've recently decided to slow down and take a step back, evaluate what is important in my life. I'm going to continue working on my writing. It's horrible now and I want to fix it. I need someone to bounce ideas off of and if you are interested let me know. "Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much
I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel.
Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah"

Who I'd like to meet: A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
-Albert Einstein
"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."
The Fear Litany. Frank Herbert from his classic Dune Saga
Hey Alex! I'm sorry, but I don't think that I'll be able to go to your birthday party. I have to work at three and I am going to a diabetes walk that morning :( But I hope that you have a wonderful birthday, and I'm sure I will talk to you soon! :)
