Welcome! "Give me a few friends who will love me for who I am or am not. Keep ever burning before my wandering steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me and I come not in sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life and time's old memories that are good and sweet.And may the evening twilight find me gentle still."

You Are Loved, Don't Give Up
Curiosity - A Good Thing
I am aggressively curious. I never know enough. I search for more and want to learn each and every moment of my life. I am not concerned with having to do it right or having done it wrong.
If something doesn't work, or doesn't accomplish the greatest amount of good, then it is discarded, rather than mulled over in regret. I am a truth seeker in the learning sense, always excited about learning more and never believing I am a finished product.
If I am around a barber, I want to learn about barbering. I learn from children, stockbrokers and animals. I want to know more about what it means to be a welder, a cook, a hooker, or a corporate vice-president. I am a learner not a teacher.
Every person, every object, every event represents an opportunity for knowing more. And I am aggressive in my interests, not waiting for information to come along, but going after it. I'm not afraid to talk to a waitress or ask a dentist what it feels like to have your hands in someone's mouth all day, or inquire of the poet what is meant by this or that.
