Using another set of eyes. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Who am I and what do I want? Push me to the edge. Have you ever watched an ant in a petry dish? He spends almost his entire time at the edges, reassuring himself he has tested the limits of his surrounding and can rest assured that he has exhausted all of the opportunity of his circumstance. If anything is worth spending your time on in life why not give it 110%? I enjoy hanging out with people with similar interests, and good conversationalists. I...
