This is just a little bit about myself.  Well, I was born on the 4th of July, 1971.   I am not married, but I do have a dog called Riley.  I do have strong beliefs concerning education and the joys of the world around us.  I believe that education and knowledge allow us to obtain different perspectives of simple things.  Experiences with these perspectives are what truly "teach" us. New perspectives create internal conflicts by offering new rules to alter our status quo and opens our minds to things we might have previously disregarded. Excitement and wonder are all around us, everyday and everywhere. To find it, one only needs to look without their everyday glasses. Do not always ignore that single speck of dust floating through a sunbeam or the ant colony, just off the playground cement. MAGIC!
