About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorI've been told that the beginning is a very good place to start, and starting at the beginning is considerably less insane than being thrust into the midst of it. However, the beginning was, after all, sixteen years ago, unless it was nine months before...um no; im not discussing being conceived on myspace. - I should just resign myself to the fact that I act a myspace hoe, but I digress. My point? - You inquire, and I respond: the start was too long ago to discuss. Let us adopt a principal of Buddhism and live in the moment. It's been said, in fact, that it is only about one moment; the moment before it all becomes clear, and you have but one moment, to try to be clear and try to stand tall, but there’s no explaining where you stand. And I mean, "fur realz peoples", if you have not yet acquainted yourself with myself, then what the clitoris are you doing on my myspace. Nevertheless, I am sure you have an honorable reason, and it is not my place to question your motives. In summary: I am what I am now, not what I have been. Perhaps some say that one cannot escape their past, but I choose not to believe this. So who am I? For those who would care to know, firstly, I am a boy of sixteen. I am critically honest with myself, but often I am not honest with others. I want to clarify, though, that I am always honest about what is truly important. I do not want others to feel uneasy at this, but merely to know that if I were truly honest, I could never be good friends with anyone but myself, (but more likely than not, this goes without saying for everyone). I am ambitious. I do not make excuses for what I cannot do, (nothing annoys me more). I can be dedicated, and I can be lazy. I become depressed when things are not always in motion, but, in contradiction, I need security. I make being on time a priority, though my family clearly does not, and I apologize to anyone who has suffered at the hands of their "lateness". I am ambitious. I am busy. I do not always call people back. - Please understand that this is not out of cruelty or annoyance or punishment of some kind, and I am trying to get better at this. I love to sing, and dance, and perform. I thrive on attention, and am very extraverted. I can think of no better feeling than being onstage in front of many people, because in that moment, amid the adrenaline and excitement, you know that you are better than everyone in the audience. Maybe this provides me security, or maybe this is only fulfillment of that human desire to out thrive others. In any case, being onstage is thrilling. Now you know at least a bit about me, and I bring this "about me" blurb to an abrupt, but necessary, end.
"I'll give you anything, but don't ask me this: don't ask for faith when there's no great supply." - Jason Robert Brown (honestly, he is the best person to quote).

My Interests

Probably anything that is appealing to the eye or the ear. Well I'd like to think that I am interested in art, but to be quite honest, I know nothing about it and have an ignorant appreciation for it. Music. Music Music Music. All kinds of music. Philosophy, (yes I know it is slightly cliche), and again, I probably have a terrible understanding of philosophy. I hate feeling stupid about stuff like this. Poetry. Musical Theater. Music Theory. Psychology. Food. Architecture. Travel. Having Fun. New York. England. Europe. Apple Products. Strategy computer games, (and the Sims). My graphing calculator - definitely - I am kinda like "shit...you can do a lot of shit on this thing", but I have no idea how. Computors. Walnut Creek. See's Candees. Venice. Photography. Storytelling. Ancient Civilizations. Improv. Games - not that I'd any good lol. Probably.

I'd like to meet:

I'd Like to meet the people in my "heroes" section, Stephen Speilberg, Amy Sherman, Joss Wheadon, Paris Hilton, Elija Wood, Jacques Garnier, Tony Morrison, Octavio Paz, the "dilbert" cartoon creator, John Lennon, Sean Hayes, Martha Stewart, Kristen Chennoeth, Dick Wolf, Oprah, basically amazing people. Oh, and I'd also like to meet new people. Like I said, I am very extraverted.

So I guess people on this list are people who are just "amazing", but are not necessarily my heroes. It makes sense. Myspace is redundant. I am done. You are sexy.

Music:

As far as artists go, I am fairly unfamiliar with anything that is is not very ordinary, (except for musical theater of course, (silly)). - I wonder if that is legal in the grammar world. I like Kelly Clarkson, Vanessa Carlton, Michelle Branch, Vienna Teng, Cher, Dido, Imogen Heap, Maroon Five, Celene Dion, Enya, Christina Aguilera, The Fray, JoJo - (actually only that one song of hers..."its just too little too late, too little too late, and I can't wait..."), Shakira, and thats probably all the "ordinary" music that I listen to. I am proud to say that I DO have a good understanding and appreciation for choral music. I think my favorite contemporary composers are Stephen Hatfield, Karl Jenkins, Eric Whitacre, Henrey Lech, and Moses Hogan. I love all musicals, almost, (basically except oklahoma, cinderella, carousel, and music man). But I particularly love the following: Aida, Children of Eden, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Chorus Line, Into the Woods, Jekyll and Hyde, Last Five Years, Parade, Songs for a New World, Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera (the musical), Rent, Ragtime, Scarlet Pimpernel, Secret Garden, Producers, Urine Town, Wicked, those are my absolute favorites at the moment...yes. I generally dislike country, rap, metal, and a lot of other stuff.

Movies:

Really, its actually kindof pointless even trying to list all of the movies I like. No order to these: Sound Of Music, Mary Poppins, Lord of the Rings, Memoirs of a Geisha, A Beautiful Mind, Mean Girls, Bridges of Medicine County, Montey Python, Grave of the Fireflies, Spirited Away, The Devil Wears Prada, Bowling for Columbine, March of the Penguins, Serenity, Star Wars, Moonstruck, Amadeus, Saving Faith, Independence Day, Ever After, Joan of Arc, Enemy of the State, A Fish Called Wanda, Emperor's New Groove, Galaxy Quest, An Unfinished Life, The Birdcage, Ms. Doubtfire, ya, like I said, I have a lot, and this is like two. But im done.

Television:

Desperate Housewives, The Office, Lost, Lain, Will and Grace, Law and Order, Twilight Zone, Firefly, Inu Yasha, The Muppets, Winnie the Pooh, Cowboy Beebop, Gundam Wing - don't say a word, chobbits, Project Runway, Trading Spaces, Reno 911,

Books:

Wicked. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. The Giver. Eragon. His Dark Materials. Eldest. Catcher and the Rye. To Kill A Mockingbird, My Name is Asher Lev. Kite Runner. Dune. Occasionally a Stephen King book. The Da Vinchi Code, I actually kindof liked the Scarlet Letter, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Peace Over a River, War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, The Elegant Universe, I really wanna read "Abundance", but I have too many other books for english I need to read at the moment.
Barnes and noble smells quite ...good, i was going to write delishious/delicious/delicous, but i dont know how to spell it. Ima terrible speller,....were talking difficient here. anyway they smell sooo good i want my future house to smell that way, maybe its just the starbucks aura of barnes and noble that makes it different from other book strores like...borders and/...old book stores. ya. old book stores are gross. who would wanna buy a book from an old ugly store when you could buy it from wonderful-smelling barnes and noble?? i ask you, people, dont get old its just sad...look at cher, she'll never be old.

Heroes:

People who sing, People who can read music, people who dance, people who can properly go up on Pointe, people who are gymnasts, people who make a living involved with Fine Arts, people who perform, people who are open, people who are accepting, people who can cook well,Martha Stewert - People dont appreciate Martha Enough,Margaret Cho - funny and supportiveIan McKellen - just awesome,Celebrities,And Fabulous people,J.K.Rowling - she is SO politically and creatively and socially genius, not even kidding, shes more that a wonderful writer Cher...ya,Anyone who has made a broadway Debut, or is trying to,Starving Actors in New York,Bobby Strong,Gandalf,Sexy peoples,People who are Pro-Choice,People who live in Europe,People who support the Arts,Flight Attendants,Anyone who knows at least one entire musical by heart,Anyone who is really brilliant at stage makeup but is not snobby about it,Anyone whose ever been in a disney parade in disneyland,People who sing "welocome to our family time, welcome to our bortherly time, this is a festival we're here to share with you!",People who say "AAAWWWKWARD",People who say "I lost the game",People who you can talk to about real things,People who you can watch movies with, People who dont talk in the theater, People who take a lot of classes,People who take AP classes and do well,People who are really good at improv games.People who are bringing sexy back singlehandedly,
