Im from Ohio, lead an interesting life. My life is one experience and opportunity after another and Im extremely fortunate for that. I feel I am very well rounded. Im a number of different type of people all in one for all the life ive lead. I have filled so many roles. I have an amazing family and amazing freinds in ohio. I have 3 younger brothers...Its a strong bond to be one of 4 boys. Its hard for me to understand the people that dont attempt to understand the bond.I go to school at the University of South Carolina. I have one year left. I have amazing freinds there as well. I have never connected with so many different people at one time. Ill be sad when its over.Im an international Business/Logistics major with a spanish minor. I wish i spoke 5 languages. In the future I want to do strategic development strategy and eventually with a focus on developing countries and corporate social responsibility.I have lived in Australia and Barcelona for periods of time.I have great freinds all over the world. Im horrible at keeping in touch, but real freinds can pick up right where they left off and are just happy to see you.I may know everyone through 4 degrees of seperation, not the typical 7.I think all the time.I interpret, analayze, mull, and rethink everything.I am not good at coming to decisive conclusions even when I know that i should.I realize the complexity of the world, relationships, and the dynamic that exists between everything. I understand interaction, and how events and emotions impact lives. I have relaized there are few people i can truly connect with on this level of understanding. I enjoy comparing perpectives and introperspective people.There is an equilibrium to everything in life. No that isnt a compromise. Its a delicate balance.Stereoptypes are 75 percent true. Everyone lives up to many of them. Everyone also breaks a few.Im not that emotional. Sometimes i wish i was more so.Emotions are usually written right on my face.I dont try to hide much, i really have no reason to.I consider myself a teacher, a profit of life if you will ha.I value experience more than anything.Money is money, the only thing everyone does with it is spend it. Its a theme Ilive by.Traveling is incredible, and I believe it teaches very much about yourself and society/ies in general.I dont try to argue opinions often, although i usually entertain the right one.I heard a quote once by Aristotle.."It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Its well put, think about it.Many time i find myself martyring.Ghandi said "Almost everything you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." What is your place in the world? You may as well at least be along for the ride.Im not sure how i feel about mental diseases. I realize society is changing and becoming for emotional, and sensitive, and over analytical, but we have more problems now than ever.Im a pretty optimistic person, but very realistic.We are a species, species evolve and go extinct. We may be the best yet, but we are still only a species.I appreciate everything in the world for what it is.I believe in Karma...and i create more good than bad.Im a good guy that does bad things.Is it bad to do a bad thing to create something good or preserve something so?I know what love, which is nice.Awkwardness is one of the funniest most difficult things ever. Im in the process of commanding it.There is no point in hating, unless its a hateful person.Ignorance eats me alive.I live for the moments, but im always thinking ahead.Ill take any challenge no matter how pointless.Success is an unparralleled feeling.
