Closed Minded – having a mind firmly unreceptive to new ideas or arguments. All of us have closed minds in some regard or another; this is a condition of humanity and a normal survival mechanism.

Continue Reading →I am a boring person. I admit it. My favorite activities are reading, writing, walking, listening, humming and thinking. I have never been drunk. I have never been “high”.
