Why I'm a Libertarian:
If you send a friend request, please send a message! Just cuz I met ya once, doesn't mean I'll recognize that one pic you put on BON. And if we haven't met, and you have nothing to say, why add me? LOL. When I get friend requests without an email, I just delete them -- and then people get mad I didn't add them. 8-|

Favorite Quotes:
Thinkers Anonymous
It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- to loosen up. Inevitably, though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker. I began to think alone -- "to relax," I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me, and finally I was thinking all the time. That was when things began to sour at home. One evening I had turned off the TV and asked my wife about the meaning of life. She spent that night at her mother's.
I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't stop myself. I began to avoid friends at lunch time so I could read Thoreau and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"
One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you, and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."
This gave me a lot to think about.
I came home early after my conversation with the boss.
"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking ..." "I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!"
"But Honey, surely it's not that serious."
"It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver. "You think as much as college professors, and college professors don't make any money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
"That's a faulty syllogism," I said impatiently. She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.
"I'm going to the library," I snarled as I stomped out the door. I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors... They didn't open. The library was closed. To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.
As I sank to the ground, clawing at the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Zarathustra, a poster caught my eye. "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked. You probably recognize that line. It comes from the standard Thinker's Anonymous poster. Which is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker. I never miss a TA meeting.
At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting. I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home.
Life just seemed ... easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me. Today, I bought a motorcycle.

About Me:
Just joined BON and keep finding cool stuff on other profiles. My favorites so far:
Take time to laugh,
it is the music of the soul.
You can tie me up, but don't tie me down! ;o)
Happiness is enhanced by others
But does not depend upon others.
Beware of energy vampires
who depend on you for their happiness.
If you fill your heart with regrets of
Yesterday and the worries of tomorrow,
You have no today to be thankful for.
Anger is a condition in which
the tongue works faster than the mind.
You can't change the past,
But you can ruin the present
By worrying over the future!
Those who dance are considered insane
by those who cannot hear the music.
