"Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination the like of which has never been seen....there you have me in a nutshell, and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change."

I'm a straight forward person, you have questions, I may or may not have answers...but life is what it is...so there it is. I have traveled so far, yet not far enough in this journey....I know, so much of a damn cliche...but I am that I am: I'm deep and I'm shallow; I'm cautious, yet enjoy risks...what the hell, I like being the paradox...

... the only time you ever have in which to learn anything or see anything or feel anything, or express any feeling or emotion, or respond to an event, or grow, or heal, is this moment, because this is the only moment any of us ever gets. You're only here now; you're only alive in this moment

Many people regularly squander their time. They live under the assumption that they'll live forever. As a result, they don't value the present as a precious opportunity that will never come again.

Others continually race against time, trying to cram too many activities into each hour, and suffering stress in the process.

In my view, we are more effective and most happy when we balance being and doing. We continually ask ourselves what�s most important to get done. And we're learning to BE -- fully present -- when we do. We also regularly give ourselves permission to relax.

Make today really matter. It's all you'll ever have.

"Very few of us know how much we can put into life if we use it properly, wisely, and economically. Let us economize our time -- lifetimes ebb away before we wake up, and that is why we do not realize the value of the immortal time God has given us." -- Paramahansa Yogananda

I enjoy reading, books by Asimov, Dostoyevsky, Burroughs, Burkowski, Kafka, Nietzsche, Hugo, Orwell, Tolkien, Adams, Franklin, Sartre, to name a few... writing, cooking and riding my bike. Anything involving imagination, I like. Now on the other side, there is dancing, billards, chess.

I enjoy reading, riding my motorcycle and watching people...intense watching of people.
