This Would Be My Validation.
Kaleidoscopes dazzle. They are intricate, as people like to think themselves to be.
The sky is stunning in its relative simplicity.

What does your Live Journal name mean?
Given all the time in the world, this would be what people would know me for. Oh wait, they still do.
If could have any superhero power, what would it be? Or what superhero would you be?
Teleportation. The ability to be anywhere, whenever I wanted to be is without parallel in its usefulness. Does that dress look good on you in Modesto, CA? *fingersnap* Not sure, let me take a look.
Top 5’s:
THINGS THAT ARE LAME:
5. The uninformed attempting to debate with me on any topic.
4. Radical right-wingers waving their guns in my face and preaching the word of God vs. burning in hell.
3. Radical left-wingers waving their signs in my face and preaching the inhumanities of the actions of others. Act, then complain.
2. Crowds of people from alternate sexual lifestyles that believe that their lifestyles provide carte blanche for hedonistic behavior.
1. Classes before noon. Rob needs his sleep.
THINGS THAT ARE COOL:
5. All these wonderful web languages/applications that I'm learning in order to be some hoity-toity web programmer who can make neat stuff.
4. Music, particularly of the sort that shows off the technical prowess of the man/woman with his/her instrument.
3. Sleep. I miss it, really.
2. A mind open to change, consideration or reconsideration.
1. Girls. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, but my vice is undeniable.
MOVIES:
5. The Bourne Identity
4. American Psycho
3. Finding Nemo
2. A Bug's Life
1. The Shawshank Redemption
RECORDS (not mp3 playlist):
5. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below---Outkast
4. The Spirit Room---Michelle Branch
3. Emotional Technology---BT
2. Spirit Trail---Bruce Hornsby
1. Here Comes the Noisemakers---Bruce Hornsby
REASONS WHY YOU THINK YOU’RE COOL:
If someone wants to learn something from me that isn't terribly important, I'll be cryptic with them, encouraging to learn a little while they're trying to get this information from me. If it's important, I drop the nonsense and state the truth, state my mind, whatever it is that's being sought. All while keeping just enough tact to blunt the edge of a sharp statement. Oh yeah, and I'm a computer geek that ignores cultural and societal boundaries. We are one world full of human beings, not disparate states divided into this and that "scene."
Other Stuff
WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU'VE EVER LEARNED?
Tolerance and respect. Differences happen. Adversities happen. Give everyone your respect, from the very start, until they indicate to you that they no longer want it.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FOOD OR FAVORITE TYPE OF FOOD?
Tiramisu==>Italian food.
WHO DO YOU THINK IS A GOOD ROLE MODEL WITHIN THE WORLD OF HOLLYWOOD? MALE AND FEMALE?
I'm not sure that Hollywood is the place to go for role models these days, but it's worth considering.
Male: Quentin Tarantino. If you want to get something done, do it. Show no mercy, play your game, don't kowtow to anyone else's vision if you really want people to see yours. All that, and give respect to those that got you started. That's Quentin Tarantino. Kill Bill in particular is his tribute to everything from spaghetti westerns to kung-fu/chop-socky flicks to the original man of Kung Fu, David Carradine. So yeah. Don't give up, don't be anyone but you. That's Q.T.
Female: Bette Midler. I think she saw her self as a jill-of-all-trades, and proceeded to give her all in each one, leading to a string of hit records, a starring role in The Rose, work on Broadway plays and a TV show with her namesake. If you've got the interest, go for it all, that's what I've learned from her. Finally, there is again the element of having respect for those before you, as evidenced by her declining a Grammy nomination for cover songs by a musician (Rosemary Clooney) who was posthumously nominated, herself.
Whew! Thanks for your time!
