About Me


I don't let MySpace become MyLife so I'm not on too much so at least skim read this ...thx and sorry for taking a while to reply
1.
If you don't message me, I won't accept your add... especially if you have a private profile where I know nothing about you and I'm left clueless as to whether we have any similar interests. (I've learned not to be shallow and judge only by outside appearance.)
Bands might get away with it, but have a good about me cuz I'm not always patient for my computer to start playing music.
Btw, if you haven't sent a message yet that's probably why you haven't been accepted. It's easier for me to reply to your message than find you in my friend list.
2.
and it would be appreciated if you at least skimmed over my profile
You don't fully understand yourself, and the same goes for myself. There's beauty in the fact that we just don't know...~
I'm Mat-z, or Mike. Mike's my real name. My heart is a mess, but that only proves I'm human. You can't buy love, you can't steal love, and you can't take love. You can only give or be given it. That deals with all of the best things in life. I'd like to fall in love again but it's easier said than done. I have amazing friends. Boredrom=Lack of Creativity so I'm always doing something. I appreciate people who read and actually fill these out. Not because I'm conceited, but its really nice to know that people care about others and about themselves and I just like reading them too. Not enough people care about compassion and it's easier for them to be apathetic. I'm usually very much at peace with myself. I wonder about a lot of things and ask a lot of questions. I try to be the best person I can and to consider how others feel. I have good intentions, but I'm not perfect. Learning from mistakes make us better people though. I look back and realize that sometimes I've been a complete ass, and try to correct my faults. I don't want to be rich. We have much more to live up to than money. I don't agree with capitalism, and I'm proud not to be motivated by consumption. I don't know much, but I'd rather understand. Anyway, the more I learn the more I realize I don't know. They say ignorance is bliss, but that's only when you're too damn lazy to take action or responsibility. It's very sadening whats going on, but I know that at least I can make a difference no matter how small when I don't ignore the facts. I don't believe in authority. I am an anarchist, but most people don't get the right idea when I tell them that. I don't pay attention to rules, although I suffer from a huge conscience and pay a great amount of attention to it, following the kindergarden rules of "treat others as you would like to be treated" and such. I like seeing others happy, as it does the same for me. I don't like or agree with organized religion, but I support beliefs. I'm mostly opposed to religions trying to get the public to submit to their creed and political agenda, and it seems bigotted to try and put words into the mouth of God. Personal beliefs are great if you find comfort in them, but I think religious texts were created as an allegory. Lets create paradise here and better the world instead of trying to comfort ourselves by taking a Sunday off. Besides, once you start thinking for yourself you realize that it is you who know's best how to run your own life. Did you know we had to teach Native Americans that land was subject to ownership? Who knew mother nature was up for sale? A lot of people are idealistic enough to believe in an after life, but they don't even think they can make a difference on Earth. I enjoy snowboarding. I'm alright, but I don't want to say more. I'm vegetarian and wish I was more actively freegan. I love meeting people and making friends whether at parties or whatever, but I'm not really into drinking anymore. I really like music with an individual or political sense or just something that really makes you think. Folk punk has become one of my favorite types of music since it's so diy and personal, but I also like elements of electronica to spice things up. Punk is one of the most simulated and completely mutilated aspects of music, but at the same time when you find the rare true meaning and aspects of some bands and artists, thats really special. When you say you can't accomplish anything with music, you're wrong because although you're limited you can always spread a message. Well I've got writers block now (haha like I'm even deserving to use that term) but I'll revise more later~~~

I'd like to meet:

A fun, cute, smart, easygoing, concerned and passionate girl that can make me fall in love again.

Otherwise I want to meet other people that I can somehow connect with and hopefully be inspired by. People that make me happy and I can help do the same for them. I'm not expecting to meet all these amazing people while sitting on my ass so I'm just going to try to be this person I want to be and see where it goes from there. I already know some amazing people though & I'm not playing a number contest for friends.

I'd also like to meet or hear from those who've been through the worst and harshest struggles ever but still end their lives happily ever after ...Those that refuse to give up on love and compassion.

You scored as Truly Free. Congratulations! You seem to have much liberty, and appreciation for that liberty. Your freedom has allowed you to live the kind of life you want, and to gain satisfaction and happiness from that life. You are lucky. Not many people experience your level of freedom--what?s worse, many actually (and ironically) choose not to. Remember that you are just as much in charge of your freedom as the world around you, and that you should always protect and enjoy your freedom; some people forget this.

This is a pretty acurate quiz as I am mostly existential & hedonistic, but don't believe in universal moral laws.

You scored as Hedonism. Your life is guided by the principles of Hedonism: You believe that pleasure is a great, or the greatest, good; and you try to enjoy life?s pleasures as much as you can.

?Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die!?

The music I like really just depends on the mood I'm in. Its not just appealing sounds for me, sometimes its just the message. You can check cds out from the library and you can fill out purchase request forms there too. I have a ton of music on my iPod from other people that I haven't heard yet.

"In attempts to moderate they ask why we don't write love songs.
What is it that we sing then?
Our love of life is total, everything we do is an expression of that,
Everything that we write is a love song!"
-CRASS, Yes Sir, I Will

Movies:
