WHY I DO WHAT I DO: |
Because I
enjoy people and want to be remembered as decent and kind when
I'm gone. Someday, it would be nice to be able to
professionally
use my background in science and the arts. To
gain the courage to be comfortable in life. To learn to be
kinder
to myself and family. To keep growing and learning
in all of my interests. Discovering new passions.
To
become
comfortable and effective in my new life in LA. I would like
to
find out if there's
actually another soul-mate out there to share my happiness
with as it was with M. I've always found tremendous reward in
making others
happy. (click) |

FAVORITE QUOTES: |
"Leave
a trail of good in your path through life." me "Whenever
you look in the mirror don't be so critical, pretend that you're
trying to give words of encouragement to your best friend."
Larisa Sklyanskaia, San Francisco Ballet Staff and retired
Bolshoi Ballet "But,
I take no pleasure in the act itself. I do not hunt in order to kill,
but kill to have hunted. I hunt because I am a hunter".- Finn Aagard "Ayo
Gurkhali!" The battle cry of the Nepalese Gurkha 'Let
the enemy touch your skin and you cut into his flesh; let him cut into
your flesh and you pierce into his bones; let him pierce into your
bones and you take his life!' " Araki Matayemon, founder of the
Yagyu sword style as quoted in the Hagakure "Ecto gammit?
"...it means 'Never
without my permission'" This is what drives my interest in small unit military
history: "What makes it possible for normal people to operate sanely, correctly and bravely in frightening and horrible situations?" |
PROFILE: |
Loves
people. I'm a sappy romantic. Eclectic interests.
Fear of speaking
before
crowds but not of performing in front of an audience.
Fearless
while protecting loved ones but timid on dates. Artistic yet
analytic. Thoughtful and
observent yet also an airhead.
Pasionate love of friends,
arts, people and
food. |
