Fear is a Thief / It will Steal your Life

About Me

"Most people think evil is a bad thing, in this I consider them all fools. Evil as good is merely perspective, and everyone labels those desire they fear as evil. I frankly enjoy those suppossed dark thoughts. What one must realize is that evil is not in the 'what you do' but more importantly in the 'how and why' you are doing them. So remember the next time you see something you dont like or someone doing something you think is wrong, realize that you are more likely desiring that which they do so freely." ---My own musings

"i am the gentle breeze of peace
i am the great storm of war
i am the extremes
i am the middle way
i am an observer of existence
i am a speaker for the void
i am nothingness
i am all encompassing
i am no one of importance
i am the most important person you'll ever meet"

Thomas Clerin

*Just because i add you doesnt mean i'm instantly hitting on you, just means i find you interesting
*If i am interested I'll openly tell you
*If I invite you to do something it doesnt mean i'm hitting on you
*I am normally quite direct and honest with what i feel/think
*yes that wasnt always the case
*no i dont care anymore, thus why i'm direct
*yes i tend to do what i want to do, or atleast i try to
*no i dont always get a chance to do what i want let alone need to do
*Chivalry and to an extent Bushido are a big part of what i am
*no not who i am because that tends to change depending on how much i learn
*i strive to be an honorable individual and those of you that know me in the analog world usually find that out within the first hour of meeting me
*yes i'm a sucker for a pretty face, and by that i dont mean just appearance
*you're beautiful you're smart but if you're an ass, you're not getting anythin from me
*at times i'm quiet other times i'm louder than an airhorn
*i prefer hard liquor
*jack daniels and coke, or sake, on occassion vodka or others such spirits
*i dont like to fuck around a point i want to get across
*sometimes i will hold my tongue though when it comes to my friends
*not because i'm afraid but because i do sort of hope they'll figure it out
*yes do have a father figure aura, but they know me and what i'll do
*by they i mean my families, both those of blood and choice
*Important: i dont speak like most people do, i definately dont think like most people do, this does not mean that i wont speak like everyone else when i'm in a group though
*at the end of the day i know what i want, and when it comes along not the stars themselves nor the very fabric of fate will stand in my way
*though sometimes i'll stand in my way
*i'm a leo, a fire sign, as such i'm very passionate about my world
*yes MY world, if you dont understand i'll explain, that goes for this whole too
*as well i can be very destructive, though i tend to keep such things to my existance and not others
in the end i am myself, not better not worse, just me
for in the end you can not hope to be more nor less than what you are
