About Me A wee bit eccentric. Don't fit into the norm of usual life.
I live happily on reconditioning and recycling things..right down to minute things, as I create miniatures. I have a passion for history throughout the ages, and pay particular attention to how those past influences affect this present day attitude. I am not a social person. As an artist, I focus more on the degrees of detail and all that are associated with that outlook. That has a great determination regarding my outlook on the outer world. Passive growth has shown me how to dump judgements and predjudices, by trading this with calming open mindedness. I can only hope that I will continue to feel happy with my choices in life, for me.

Wild Fact About Me given a choice, I will streak naked through a heavily populated environment, before I slap a chunk of mass produced meat into a microwave, let alone buy it.
My Philosophy respect before the damned judgment hammer falls. Think first..walk in another's shoes, give a hug when needed or deserved, remember that we are not the ultimate "god" on earth..we don't own the planet..we just tend to abuse it. Life will go on with out us..quite happily. Our arrogance is our demise.
What Gives Me Hope Humans will one day realize that we are not the highest or ultimate in this world. We are the lowest..and with that realization, maybe, one day we will dump the arrogant, self concete and replace it with truth towards the natural and normal world around us.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by give back to the small businesses. Respect the small business for their appreciation towards their non-distructive attitude towards the world. Support them. Force big industry to close if they don't get their act together, regarding abuse for the planet, in the name of commerce.

Quotation When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.~ Mahatma Gandhi
