Cool yet Humble Guy

About Me

"Though they may be intangible, possibly difficult to measure, and though you may not receive any official recognition, never underestimate the positive contributions that you yourself can make....to your society and to your world." -Me (A Future President Of These United States....at least in my dreams anyway)Hey. Name is Jehred. Ahlan wa sahlan. Ana ismi Jehred. Wazzzzup? Hello there...and welcome to my life....yet be careful....I am no ordinary guy.Douglas McGray has said in a recent article in the Foreign Policy magazine, most Americans "remain hopelessly uninformed about the world beyond their borders" even though they are "surrounded by foreign languages, cultures, and goods". With that said, one of my goals in life is to bridge this gap.....to live a life of civic duty: dedicated to my neighboring community, my country, and the world community at large as well as to live my life in a way that will inspire others to become informed, well aware, and appreciative of other cultures:their background,religion (or lack there of), their perspective on life, perspectives in general, and their positive contributions to humanity. In other words, I strongly believe in the idea of being a global citizen. I am a political moderate. I advocate bipartisanship. I live my life in an intense way...every second counts. I don't have A.D.D. but I do want to soak up life...every ounce of it. I want to feel and think to the deepest degree possible. I have big dreams and aspirations. My friends and my family are my life. Without them and God, I'm nothing. I think that pizza is one of the greatest inventions in the world. I like to make people laugh and brighten their day even if it is at the expense of me being my dorky natural self. I'm a native of Southern Cali. My nickname is "Spidey" as a result of an obsession with the personality/character traits of Spider-Man. With that said, if you want to know more feel free to message me (as long as you are keeping it real and are a genuine person). Fake people are a dime a dozen. I'm after knowing people of quality, people who have something distinct about them, people who defy normalcy and like me, are trying to figure out what this whole being human and living life is all about. I believe that life is like one big rubik's cube and that no one has it completely figured out yet every answer/idea/theory is one step closer to finding a solution. However, the mysteries and the wonder of life must also be embraced. I have an intense interest in Arab culture and one might even say that deep down, I have a heart of an Arab. One day, I'd like to go sky-diving. I'd also like to get a motorcycle and just drive out on an adventure in Europe, Latin America, or the Middle East. Thanks for reading this. Have a great day. Shukran (Arabic for Thanks). Feel free to check out my blogs for more info. regarding myself and things I've written if you are interested. I'm a good guy and I believe someone you will find worth knowing. I come from a family who has a history of service in dedication to their country. I aspire to do the same; to work for the U.S. Government and work with its international counterparts and the international community in general...with a global/international,national diverse, and complex perspective...which is exactly what this world needs for the 21st century.I not only want to live an original and authentic life with my own unique style while staying true to my personality but I want to produce new knowledge and ideas that will benefit humanity as a whole and possibly lead to a greater understanding and respect between cultures, especially between Western and Arab culture."The credit belongs to the man who is in the arena, whose face is married by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly….. and spends himself in a worthy cause and.…. if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

I'd like to meet:

All past and living U.S. Presidents,Beyonce Knowles, Diddy, Claire Danes, Pat Morita, as many retired and current diplomats/ambassadors, foreign dignitaries, and world leaders as possible, Lizzy Caplan, Emily Harper, Oscar De La Hoya, Rocky (Sylvester Stallone),Sergio "The Latin Snake" From the Contender,Bobby Badfingers (The Dude on America's Got Talent),Lawrence of Arabia (T.E.

Anyone who is real, has personality, brains and a unique style. Anyone with similar interests. However, I'm not using Myspace as a popularity contest. With that said, I'm going to keep my number of friends low. I want to be able to invest my life in my friends and be there for them. Otherwise, there is no point. However, don't be afraid to send me a message. The odds are though that 90% of my friends on here are people I know in person and love and respect very deeply. Yet those that I have not yet had the opportunity to meet in person that are my friends as well, I have the same amount of love and respect for them as well and one day I hope to meet them in person. However, don't be afraid to send me a message and a friend request if you like. I don't mean this in a rude way...but if all you care about is yourself and even if you may be fine (ladies) and you lack brains...I probably will not want to add you as a friend. Oh yeah, I don't take this Myspace Top Eight thing too seriously so please don't be offended if you don't see your picture when you go to my profile. If any of my friends need anything, I'll do all that I can within my power to be there for them. Thanks.
