About Me


PRINCIPLES THAT I LIVE BY:
"Bosatsu miga, ireba utsumuku" Translation: The nail that sticks up, gets hammered down. Japanese Proverb.
"Love built on beauty, soon as beauty dies."
"Waste not fresh tears over old griefs."--Euripides, 485-406 B.C.
"The friendship that can cease has never been real" --Saint Jerome,c.342-420
"Smooth sailing never makes a good captain."
"Death is the release from all pain and complete cessation, beyond which our suffering will not extend. It will return us to that tranquility, which we had enjoyed before we were born. Should anyone mourn the deceased, then he must also mourn the unborn. Death is neither good nor evil, for good or evil can only be something that actually exists. However, whatever is of itself nothing and which transforms everything else into nothing will not at all be able to put us at the mercy of fate." --Seneca Roman Philosopher and Dramatist (4 BC- 65 AD)
Introverted, extroverted, whatever...basically I'm awesome.
I was the kid in school who always hung out in the library, because I was lame and didn't smoke, do drugs or had a license to ill. I listened to punk. I wasn't wearing whatever was popular at that time, I was wearing camo shorts and wore a pair of DC's that I still own. My best friends growing up were the bands that I listened to, and the authors whose books I read.

My Interests

Tattoos, going to shows, reading a good spy/action novel, BS'ing with the bros, drinking a good micro-brewed beer, tattoos, chillin to my jams, tattoos, any media of art, earning them papers, tattoos...oh, and did I say that I like tattoos?

Get your own knuckles at the knuckle tattoo gun .

I'd like to meet:



Hey ladies! I've got no tan lines...think about it...

I would love to meet people out there who enjoy life. People who truly enjoy living, because they have felt the desperate feeling of almost not being able to do so. People who enjoy a drama-free life. I understand that sometimes it's inebitable, but most times it can be avoided.

People in the search for something better in life. The type of person who believes that there has to be more in the kitchen than what's being served on the plate...

Music:

Now you can't ask any true appreciator of music this question, so you know what? I'ma just gonna break it down like this: I enjoy any music that can conjure an emotion or emptions when heard. Any music that can unite strangers in a kind of "slow-motion riot"

Movies:

Hmmm....my favorite movies huh? Well, I guess my favs would have to be House of flying daggers, Dodgeball, Elf, THX 1138, any Akira Kurosawa film, any Bruce Lee flick, 'The Office' dvd, any Kevin Smith movie (except for Jersey Girl), The Matrix trilogy, Finding Nemo, September Tapes, Six-string Samurai, Clockwork Orange, Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2, High Fidelity (or any John Cusack movie), Proof of life, Blue Crush (Just 'cause it reminds me of home), Saving Silverman, The Incredibles, School of rock, Lock Stock and 2 smoking barrels, Resevoir Dogs, Punch Drunk Love, Snatch, The way of the gun, The art of war, and Boondock Saints (Only because I'm a quarter Irish).

Television:

Dont watch T.V. It's junk food for the mind. Unless of course it's anything on adult swim, comedy central, or spike. Them are the only exception.

Books:

The Warriors Heart, The Alchemist, Gates of Fire, The Clash of Civilizations, 1984, Catch 22, The catcher and the rye, Hagakure, The Animal Farm, Derailing Democracy, The Buddha in your mirror, Rain Storm, Ni-Ten-Ryu, Space and Eternal Life, Life 101, The Lotus Sutra, the most Brilliant thoughts of all time, 7 kinds of smart, and The pleasure of my company,table td div div font {visibility:hidden;}

I have found great beauty in the falling petals of the cherry blossom. Admiring how gallant they are towards their very end. I admire a life that can flourish and fall with such grace. One can even compare their own life with the life of a cherry blossom......even if we fall away from each other, we will meet again, next spring. Until then you will all be in my hearts...DEUCE FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!
