I believe in personal freedom (even when I don't approve) and personal responsibility, (even when it's not fair).

I believe in the pursuit of happiness. That is to say, the actual doing something to make your own happiness happen, even when - no, especially when it's hard. I believe doing the things that make you happy in life is better for everyone in the long run - even the people who aren't too happy about it in the short term.

"...it's a lot harder to create your own path than to follow one that's been laid out for you... You could have told me that going in! You know, when someone says, 'Follow your bliss' it sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun!" -- Dharma & Greg

I'm a big fan of doing things in general. I realized a long time ago that when I think, "Why doesn't someone do something about that?" that maybe that someone should be me. Doing things is a lot more interesting than not doing things; if nothing else you learn a lot, and if things go well then you have something cool to show for it at the end.

I'm highly critical, but not in a mean spirited way. I am critical because I want things to rock, and they only will if we are able to identify the things that suck. I really don't like it when things suck.

I really *do* love it when things rock though. Things like Burningman, which in case you didn't know, rocks pretty seriously. I love hippies, goths, geeks, burners, and weirdos and could probably be considered a little of each. I also have a soft spot in my heart for pagans, surfers, punks, scientists and stoners although none of those labels fit me.
