That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out.
I don't give a damn if I go to hell. I love you Satan. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I think there are just as many assholes meeting the old-fashioned way as there are meeting in the new hookup culture.

When I first moved to New York I wanted to be a dancer, I danced professionally for years, living a hand-to-mouth existence.
My home base - pop music and the Catholic Church.

My point of view and philosophy continues to change and grow. As the years go by you go through this evolution.
