fault lines (should be worn with pride)

"Without suffering there can be no true compassion. Regardless of these obstacles, I hold on to the things I love. Adversity will never make me come undone."
The beauty of the city burns within the acceleration of cars as the light turns green. The bustle of people walking by. Everyone has some place to be. Take a deep breath; breathe. Look around you. You could lose yourself here amongst the crowd... and yet find yourself as well...
"Dream is destiny."
I'm as stubborn as they come, and I'm known to hit low.
Music has always been a stable and important aspect of my life. It is a part of my past, my present and ultimately my future. I live it, I breathe it and I respect it for what it is; self expression.
No longer am I mad about the things I don't have.. All I'm living for is love and laughs.
I'm an admirer of art in it's many forms. A lover of photography, architecture, literature, illustrations, independent films, underground music and body modifications.
"Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future."
I'm a vegetarian.
I have quite a few tattoos and my nose and septum pierced.
I have a sarcastic and blunt personality.
I don't have a censor button. I say what I think and although that can, at times, get me into trouble; I'm willing to take the risk.
I'm opinionated, open-minded and most importantly, I'm respectful to those who show respect to me.
I prefer to see the beauty in everything.
I don't let a lot of people in my life. I'm very protective of myself and of those closest to me.
I could care less about what other's think of me.
I adore animals and at times, prefer them to people.
I will always love my animals more than you.

"...all I could think about was how this entire notion of oneself, what we are, is just this logical structure, a place to momentarily house all the abstractions. It was a time to become conscious, to give form and coherence to the mystery, and I had been a part of that. It was a gift. Life was raging all around me and every moment was magical. I loved all the people, dealing with all the contradictory impulses - that's what I loved the most, connecting with the people. Looking back, that's all that really mattered."
Sound Fix is my haven..
and The Skinny is my good time.
the skyline was beautiful on fire;
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange haze
i said, "kiss me you're beautiful.
these are truly the last days."

"I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling. Ecstacy, even, I felt, with flashes of sudden remembrance, and feeling sweaty and drowsy I felt like sleeping and dreaming in the grass."
- Jack Kerouac
"Happiness is how, not what: a talent, not an object." - Herman Hesse
