Love concerts that ROCK MY SOUL & dancing my butt off!
And I love playin' the guitar & tamborine!
As for work, I own a little hippie store and do tee shirt printing,
for the past 13 years. I work a lot, but I love it.
It's a cool "Hippy Store" in Lombard, IL, and we do tee shirt printing & tie dyeing too.
I married my high school sweetheart Bert, and have two great children.
I'm artistic in many fields like coloring (adding color to daily life, gardening, blowing glass, making tie dyes, and painting/coloring art, sewing).
I go in tangents. When I focus on something and want to get it done, It gets done!!
In my spare time I love reading, hanging out with friends, watching movies, snowboarding, learning new things, spending quality time with my kids, being active & out doors, camping, being productive, traveling, talking to people, and of course sleeping.
It’s OK to dream, but remember your reality is now.
Make your life count!

Heroes
Truly, MY FAMILY, & people who do kind things for others with out wanting something in return.
I can’t remember names of all the people I met, who have transformed me to be who I am today. They all showed me something good or bad, which I learned from. I believe, if you don’t learn from experiences, mistakes, hardships, etc., you won’t grow as a human being & prosper.
Some of my Favorites of Josephine Wall (not all are hers)
About me:
If you read my general interests: music, heroes etc., and still want to know more about me, well here you go.
I’m at “myspace" to meet new and old, interesting people. I’m very compassionate, enjoy peoples company, love to philosophize, analogize, socialize, etc....
Philosophy

A system of values by which one lives: has an unusual philosophy of life.
Analogy

A comparison based on such similarity.
Correspondence in function or position between organs of dissimilar evolutionary origin or structure. A form of logical inference or an instance of it, based on the assumption that if two things are known to be alike in some respects, then they must be alike in other respects.
1: an inference that if things agree in some respects they probably agree in others 2: drawing a comparison in order to show a similarity in some respect; "the operation of a computer presents and interesting analogy to the working of the brain"; "the models show by analogy how matter is built up"

I Love the Travels that I have done, and want to do more of course. You can learn so much by seeing how other people live, shop, culture, and so much more. My favoite places I have gone.
Cario, Egypt ~It was my dream, did the whole tour of pyramids, etc!!!!!
Here's me standing on a pyramid
Europe ~ I'm 100% Solvenian. So I have visited the surrounding contries like, Austria, Italy etc. Slovenija, is the "Sunny Side of the Alps," which is beautiful, and all my relatives still live there.
Jamicia ~ Beautiful, but should not be so poor as it is!
I’m pretty open minded, and understand that everyone has their own issues, and their own ideas, yet, I don’t want to change them, but mostly learn from them, and to learn more about myself.
"I scowled because I had no shoes on my feet, until further down the street I saw a man with no feet at all."~Persian Proverb~
It's good that way too, because if we all thought, the same thoughts, about everything, where would the LEARNING come from?
If you want me as a freind, please send me a message first. Sorry If I don’t accept all invitations, or delete them. I do my best by checking out the profiles, then adding/keeping them if I deem worthy. (I don’t want my bulletin board more full with adds & such). And please don’t try to sell to me, I get enough of that in my “real” life. So Please Respect.
I’m not an envious person. Like the rich/famous/lucky, doesn’t bother me. When I was younger, I was different, but now with knowledge, I see life in a different view. Remember $ doesn’t always buy happiness, and beauty is only skin deep, and life is too short, so enjoy it, with what you have. But of course do what matters to you.
Don’t be someone you are not, but be someone who you are.
After Suffering comes Sunshine.
I do believe in Faith, “Faith, I do believe.” –Rusted Root
As so many people before me, I don’t believe you have to go to church to believe in something, or to be a better person because you attend church. Or that you have to conform to one religion. I have my own strong beliefs & faiths, which I truly believe in. Each & everyday, a miracle, coincidence, experience, education, justifies them even more. It's about questioning everything.
"You can only see as far as you think"~unknown~
Children are the soooo important!
I’m very artistic is everything I do. I see earths beautiful colors, and I need to apply them all over, my home, office, my gardens, myspace, my life, etc.
Happiness & silliness go hand in hand
ONE, little thing I do, is by passing the happiness through me, onto others, so they can pass it on, and cause a good chain reaction, and maybe everyone can smile more! Is that really too much to ask sometimes? I want to change the world in so many ways, so I try spreading it from my inner circle.
If more people have Compassion, there would be less fighting! or, If everyone has Compassion, there would be no fighting!
Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

Always tell the truth. That way, you don't have to remember
what you said.~Mark Twain~
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
~Buddha~
You scored as Idealist
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.
Who I'd like to meet: Widespread Panic
after seeing them many times, but front row at both Bonnaroo '05 and Milwaukee '06, they blew my mind away... They were my Guru for the night
Ben Harper is amazing on so many levels, I would love to conversate with him:).
Besides them anyone else who has a brain (or at least uses it once and a while), true to them self, and wants to have a conversation.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. "
As the soot and dirt and ash rained down, We became one color. As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building, We became one class. As we lit candles of waiting and hope, We became one generation. As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno, We became one gender. As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength, We became one faith. As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement, We spoke one language. As we gave our blood in lines a mile long, We became one body. As we mourned together the great loss, We became one family. As we cried tears of grief and loss, We became one soul. As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes, We become one people.
WE ARE One color One class One generation One gender One faith One language One body One family One soul One people
We are The Power of One. We are United. We are America.
~ Author Unknown... but a most brilliant being
Gratitude and prayers to all the troops still fighting this battle for us and to all the EMT service people and bystanders that took action on 9/11 and afterwards and to all those who have and who are now paying with their health and lives for helping those in need and cleaning up ground zero and to their families. Prayers & love to all those who lost their loved ones.
For Americans this was but one day that caused many changes, in many lives, in many ways... for many others this is everyday in many different ways.
If you are reading this - You can experience true inner peace. Right now
In this very moment There is no-thing required of you No “where” you have to go No “tomorrow” to worry about And no bills to be paid right now
In this space there is Nothing you need to do Other than to be who you are Right now Doing what you do Exactly as you do it
By my account, what we consider “time” is made up of an infinite amount of these moments and they are forever present for us to take notice. Within each of these moments we are always connected and collectively experiencing life as one. Wishing you a beautiful weekend! ~R~
I do not know where we come from I do not know where we will go But for now we are here Coming together through language, symbols and intent A necessary journey of the mind and heart To return the connections that have always been
in lieu of what anyone can say about this or that regardless of our religious perspective no matter how far we travel across the seas of Boolean logic it still doesn’t account for this odd shaped puzzle box we find ourselves in, this very moment
Despite my best attempts to understand it, it never comes close to the oddity that I am even here writing this. This space and time, you and everything around us is a part and belongs here beautifully. May you find beauty, unity and wonder in everything you do and are. ~R~
"If the foot of the trees were not tied to earth, they would be pursuing me. For I have blossomed so much, I am the envy of the gardens. " - Rumi
From the same point of departure to the same destination we go. There are no exclusions. We all travel through this tunnel called life. I am honored that we can meet here along the journey. Love and blessings to you always. ~R~
Hello my friend how are you doing? well i am sorry for not write you you for very long time.... hope you dont mind, the truth is that i got some of my own problem and thats why i am not on the mood to talk to any one... anyway i am ok now... well i just wanna say hello to you and wish you a good day... talk to you soon. regards Tashi PS if you have facebook, you can add me there with this email address tashi.d.tsering@gmail.com i use facebook for personal stuff no political....
The best thing about starting over is that we can always do so, right now. No matter how far out things become, we can always begin again, from right here. The liberation and absolution within this eternal moment is always here beside us, like an old familiar friend waiting for us to take notice once again.
Beyond what we "think" is everything else. Despite our best attempts to understand, understanding itself is only a fractional part. Rarely do these thoughts shine light upon the true measure and majesty of "that," of which we find ourselves here within.
Over six billion hearts beating circadian rhythms right now. Countless happenings taking place in this very moment. A baby comes in a grandfather steps out. Light shines and darkness descends. Today I witnessed the rising sun greeting the evening moon. May we not just believe it, but rather find the eyes to see it. Wishing you a beautiful and magical weekend. ~R~
Recently I began shredding over ten years worth of pay stubs. Disposing of them was an interesting matter to say the least. Pay stub by pay stub, I watched over five hundred weeks of blood sweat and tears fall through the shredder blades. I destroyed them one by one, week by week to really capture the experience. It was like reliving different phases of my life through past employment. Over twenty thousand hours of my life falling through my fingers. I thought of all the things I had purchased over the years that isn't anywhere to be seen. It was surreal to bear witness to all of the time we spend amassing stuff that doesn’t even exist anymore. A million things slaved for, passed through the sausage grinder and sent off into oblivion. Then my mind shifts to an ever growing world of six billion people doing the same thing over and over. So I have to stp and ask myself, “What is the point?” It all goes away in the end. No-thing lasts forever, yet we spend a lifetime wasting away for them.
I wonder why that is...
The best things in life are free. These experiences, all of the memories, every emotion and especially you, are the things that seems to me "to be" what really matters. I am blessed by your friendship! Namaste ~R~
The body is ephemeral as a bubble Made of water and dancing chemicals With the divine breath of life, Its form appears Reflecting the world perfectly as it passes through Leaving no trace behind The form dissolves The breath returns home Its beauty cannot be captured Only witnessed and appreciated
Wishing you awareness of your own reflections They are beautiful art in motion
/>There is no new year to divide us, only thoughts that bind us. A toast to clocks, calendars and other inventions of the mind! Happiest of moments to you! ~Rustifari Satori~
It is a rare and beautiful gift to uncover, that every moment contains within, the possibility to start anew. Here we are traveling in a perpetual fountain of new beginning. Despite anything that was ever said or done before, this unattached and uninhibited moment is total and complete freedom to pick up the pen and write this story any way you wish. You are not limited by anything. Every moment, every day contains the promise and possibility, to perform acts of kindness, to help those around you and to lift ourselves up into a higher place.
Every day is a blessing, every moment is a gift. I give thanks for the chance to share these moments and gifts with you. ~R~
Widespread Panic
