I'm a caring, loving, passionate human being who wants to do nothing more with my life than help make a difference in the world. It kills me to know all that I do, and I refuse to stand by and let it happen. I'm looking to meet people who are trying to do the same.
I probably only sleep 5 or 6 nights a week. I can't sleep - I can't ever turn off my mind. So I usually will get up, start writing down all the thoughts going on in my head {maybe an article, a poem, a scene for a movie, something I need to do, an idea, insert for my books, etc} and then usually do some reading, and conclude by signing petitions, and "taking action" on all the sites I have bookmarked. I'm new to care2, love it!
My Philosophy
There's nothing that we can't do in the world, it's just a matter of effort and time.
What Gives Me Hope
People - there are a lot of us good ones out there, and every time I find one, I'm grateful. History - it has shown and taught me that anything can be accomplished.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
The way things are at this very moment, I'd say the best thing that we could do for the WORLD {emphasis on WORLD}, is spread a virus that would wipe out the human population, because at the moment, we are the cancer that plagues the world. However, that's not what I would want to do, because it doesn't have to be like this. I'm going to go out of the box here {since I could go several directions, but particularly around the environment} I would launch the largest advertising campaign the world has ever seen, and I would build it around awareness, consciousness, "waking up", "finding the light at the end of the cave", finding meaning in life, having purpose, caring, loving, being responsible...learning is cool, and so is volunteering, and helping out. I would try and make people think, and therefor ACT!
What/who changed my life and why
There are so many, I can't even begin to imagine trying to put this into a single book, movie, event or person, however I'll do a quick summary of things and events that have helped along the way.
