| Bio: | There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.  
This is important to understanding some of my ideologies "[It] was called Voyager and in 1989, after its brilliantly successful explorations of the Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune system, it became possible to do something I had wanted to do from the very beginning of that mission and that is to turn the cameras around and look back from beyond the outer most planet at our world. We succeeded in doing this and the image that resulted was of a single pale blue dot momentarily in a sunbeam. I look at that dot and I think that's here, that's home, that's us. On that dot everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human-being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joy and suffering thousands of confident and mutually exclusive religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love every mother and father, every hopeful child, every inventor and explorer, every revered teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of those who derived their self esteem from dividing the dot into two hundred still littler patches. Our posturings, our imagined self- importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in a great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves, it is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling and even character building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. For me it underscores our responsibility, our profound responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot the only home we have ever known." --Carl Sagan  As well, how 'bout some birthdays?
This is a list of things I have supposedly learned in college (but have definitely paid for). Honestly, most of it has atrophied into forgetfulness. I am in my 6th of 10 semesters. At Embry-Riddle, I have learned about communication skills, followership opportunities, principles of writing in response to readings in the humanities and social sciences, development of my communicative, evaluative, critical thinking, and research writing abilities through the close examination of key texts across said disciplines, overcoming communication apprehension, developing listening skills, mastering oral performance, and writing about communication, public speaking, group discussion, oral interpretation, interpersonal communication, analysis of ideas central to the evolution of culture, human nature, and Love, preparation of formal and informal technical reports, abstracts, resumes and business correspondence, long technical paper writing, acquiring advanced writing skills, maps, map reading and utilization, relationships between geography and economics, culture and geopolitics, man and his use of his environment, places, names and locations, climate,
