Hey, if you don't enjoy crude humor, cartoons and video games, press your back button now. Also, don't visit me if you don't enjoy those things either, you will interrupt my fun. Seriously, I mean it.
I like Legos, Reading good banned books, decorating my car, Alternate realities, Burritos, Playing with clay, playing with instruments, Video Games, constructive conversation, being vegan, road trips and Painting. I dislike Pain, Anger, pity, money, using animals as ends for humans, threats, war and poverty. Thats probably enough to give you an idea of my life.. Just moved closer to the city.. Its a temporary place, only a couple months, but while I am here, I have a GIANT room, which has given me a chance to really work with some wall space, and space in general.. Interestingly, its improved my cleaning skills.. Still "messy" but not obscene.. incidently, this house is in suburbia. Its a pretty nice house, so I guess its only evidence to support my claim that suburbanites are bastards, this room is bigger than my last 2 bedrooms combined... No two people need this much space. Just because our poor are better off than poor of third world countries, how does that make you feel, that the United States of America's standards for the treatment of our poor can only be supported by "Ours are better off than the people in Africa" C'mon, I want a country who can say "our lowest class is europes middle class" There will never be a time when we will stop fighting to end poverty, nor should we ever wish to stop the fight.
Before I let you read my profile. I have to stop and talk about something. Ok, now, I am sure not many of you yuppie myspace bloggers have had any real trials and tribulations in your life so I have to say I am sorry for you. Without the rough points in my life I would have never have believed in mankind. About 8 years ago, my family was poor.. well we were living in a chevy beretta. I slept in the backseat with my cat. It only lasted a summer, shifting from shelter to shelter. I learned a few things. One. Homeless shelters are bullshit, there is no such thing as a large scale "family shelter" There are shelters for women and children and for men, but not for entire husband and wife families. We got to meet some amazing people who fought hard to see that I didnt go hungry(I was 11 years old).. Umm.. I dont think I will ever be able to repay them, but I want to give mention to one couple in particular. They were retired, middle class citizens. They owned a single level 5 bedroom house on the edge of reno Nevada. They had decided that since they didnt need a 5 bedroom house, they would section it off. They kept the master bedroom for themselves and the rest of the house was used for homeless families. Each bedroom could hold 4 people. They provided 2 meals a day and showers and basic sanitary needs. When youve been sleeping in your car for 6 weeks, a warm cot and a shower is pretty much the nicest thing imaginable. So. to those of you who have given up on humanity. Keep in mind that the fact that you still know what humanity is, you owe to people like those two retired individuals.------------------------------------------------

(I recently cut a portion of this little spiel out because it sucked and was dramatic.. what the hell was I on?)
I stand at the threshold to my lifetime, the choices I make are mine, but never think that I could have made it without you. If you love me, tell me. If you know what you want, take it, dont wait for me, I am not the leader you have been waiting for.

This is what my Myspace used to have for the "About me" it contains some information about my current life..
What keeps us going? What keeps us doing the right thing? If living our life to get to heaven is not the right course of action, what guides us? Could we be wrong? I ask for you to consider these questions. Maybe the only rule in life that truly matters is the golden rule. This is something I promise you will lead to the highest of ethics.
