about me : not like you're going to read it anyway
Who the Hell is Christian Becenti? Bonjour, mon nom est Chrétien Táylor! The name is Christian. I’m eighteen (18) years old, and I live in a great city called Albuquerque, which is in the southwest region of America. The "Duke City" is a place I have called home for the past ten years of my life. If you know me, then you know me. If you don't then you don't. I grew up a hard life but i've learned alot. Like most of you viewers out there know, a lot has happened to me these past few years. But if there’s another thing you guys know about me, is that I’m not one to give up. Against all odds I manage to come out on top. Challenges aren’t motives that give me the ambition to do much of what I can with so little. In fact it’s the difficult times in life that give me a reality check: I’m one out of 6.8 billion people in this world and only a selected few get to walk in the light. Given what I know about the world now, I feel like I’ve got nothing to lose and a lot to gain, and I do try to make something of myself and do whatever I want. I think fast, make quick decisions and hate to be told what to do, or what to think. I’m a very independent person but I do depend on certain people and things. I love to think and be by myself: there are alot of things I like to think about. People tend to ask for advice. I'm not a problem solver, I just have alot on my mind. If I have something to say, I say it. I have a twin (he was born first). I'm a Libra. Let me throw a curve ball at you guys: I'm gay (sorry ladies). I don't flaunt my sexuality in any way. I'm just a laid back and settled faggot. I don't care if you're a homophobe: as long as I know I'm honest with myself. Respect is something I consider to be a golden rule I live by. So by reading this, you can kind of figure that I hold my personal morals close. I sometimes smoke (not cigarettes, if you know what I mean) and I occasionally drink. I'm not tryin to create a bad kid image, I just do what ever I want.
Alot of people seem to know alot about me. How or Why? I have no idea. My personal life is something I don’t share over the internet. I don’t hate the attention, but I can’t say that I like it. Trusting people is something I have a hard time doing. I don’t really get along with people. Love is something I find hard to understand. I can’t do very much for myself without being judged. People judge me but they don’t even know me. I don’t understand how people can be so judgmental. Insecurity? Possibly. It’s almost as if everyone has high expectations of me. I’m not the type of person to please everyone, or change who I am just for another person’s own cause. I really value who I am. I’d rather wish I was recognized for what I do best. I like to express who I am through words, art, photography, and music. I say what I think, write what I feel, and photograph things that view my perception of the world.
I'm not an aggressive or violent person. Nor do I see petty street fights as a useless escuse to come across any point. But I will say that I am a fan of cage fighting. What's the difference? Well for one thing, its spectators sport. Secondly, its goals and intentions are to a more appropiate value: to win a title and not shed blood over stupid problems. Some of my favorite fighters are Matt Serra, Diego Sanchez and Matt Hughes. But my personal favorite is Georges St-Pierre from Montreal Quebec. A personal hobbie of mine that I love to practice is photography (in case you haven't already noticed the pictures of my friends displayed all over my page) I don't display my art work on my myspace page, because random viewers take them without my consent. Instead I post them on an art gallery online. You can type asgrean.deviantart.com into your URL or click on the link to view my photography [ link ]. People keep sending me messages, asking me to do favors for them. I don't answer to personal calls in terms of taking personal portraits of random strangers on the internet. I'm sorry, but please don't ask me to take your pictures. Even if you offer me money, I still won't accept. The "models" in most of my photos are my close friends (Amelia, Scott, Andrew, Autumn, Mia, Greg, Sam, etc.) Alot of my photos are of people and how I see them in my perception of the world.
I used to go to a secluded and extremely privlaged high school: Santa Fe Indian School. Honestly it was far from meeting my expectations but I don't think I have room to complain right now, I graduated from that place. It was just like any other high school: people tend to know everything about other peoples' business. People spit their words, people fall and get back up, and people all tend to get a little helpless at times. I met some really cool people there. Others I didn't bother with. Why emphasize on people you don't like? I'm happy to say that I will only be attending a community college in Albuquerque in the fall to get my Prerequisites. After two years I plan to transfer to an out-of-state school like Winsor College, where i'll continue with my photography (maybe major in it, I'm not sure yet) If that doesn't work out then I guess i'll go to UNM (University of New Mexico, not a good school in my opinion unless you're going into the medical field.) I just hope the real world is ready for me, or if I'm ready for the real world.
I'm the type of person that doesn't like to stay in one place for a long period of time. Traveling is something I try to do as much as I can. I've been all over North America from the great cities of Canada (Montreal, Toronto and Vancoover) to shores of South Carolina, Texas, California and Mississippi. I would consider moving to another country like Europe (I know, sounds cliche right?) just for the free healthcare. More than likely France. Not in Paris per se but maybe the by the mountains. Only because I find the scenary to be quite beauitful. I like everything about the French culture, from the language, to their style to their foods. I'm also not the type of person to go around bragging about "wild nights" I've had in metros like Los Angeles or New York (personally I don't like either city) but would consider living in others like London or Montreal when I'm settled. I told me mother about where I would consider moving (France) after I'm finacially strapped and she asked me if I considered becoming a fugative: was that really my intent on leaving the country. Of course not! Not unless my life resembles Kate Moss and a cocaine scandal.
I'm not really a materialistic person but I like a lot of simple things in my life. Music is something I listen to all the time. Some of my favorite artists and bands are: The Academy Is, Sugarcult, Motion City Soundtrack, Bayside, Allister, Modest Mouse, Jimmy Eat World, Crash Boom Bang, Lucky Boys Confusion, The Audition, This Is Me Smiling, Cute Is What We Aim For, The Ting Tings, MGMT, Michelle Williams, Dashboard Confessional, Paloalto, Interpol, Anberlin, The Hearbreakers, Ferraby, Lionheart, The Doors, The Submarines, Carolina Liar, Plushgun, Angels and Airwaves, We Shot The Moon, We Are Scientists, Crystal Castle, The Pinker Tones, The Virgins, Katy Perry, Thursday, The Touch Stones, Adams Shore, The Early November and many more. I also watch a lot of movies (horror- don’t ask, won’t tell). Movies like The Virgin Suicides, Three Dancing Slaves, Amnesia, Brokeback Mountain, House of Wax, The Devil Wears Prada, Transamerica, All Women Have Secrets, Amor de Hombre, Time to leave and many more. I also like reading. If I were to recommend some books to you viewers they would be my top five: The Scarlet Letter, The Invisible Man, The Coming of the Night, Call Me by Your Name and Tricks of the Trade.
Leave me a comment! Yes I do read them all
I try to get back to as many of you as possible, but please understand how hard it is for me to reply to all those comments: I don’t spend my days on the internet. So just because I don't get back to you right away, don't send me mail telling me how much you hate me!

"We're such dorks. A few friends and I decided to ditch our study period one evening and play a few games. It turned into a hiding game from the night staff: you'll see what I mean. If the quality isn't good press the HQ button! Thanks!"
