I love people; I love to meet people and get to know them, I love being curious about strangers, I love my freinds. I think Im pretty accepting of people as they are but when ever I can I will always try my hardest to be nurturing to anyone who is striving to enhance something about themselves. I don't mind trying to help people alot because Im generally very comfortable with accepting help from others, and when I need help I seek it. I'm a nature lover, I love spending time outdoors climbing swimming monkeying around. I dont take my self too seriously although i do when its apropriate. I am very far from being a religious person, although I do consider myself to be very spiritual and well loved by God, Spirit, The Universe or whatever you choose to call it. I love a good lightsaber battle but when Zombies are involved I go with the machette... a firemans axe is pretty cool to. I like people who have a sense of humor but can also be intellegent and down to earth. I love living creatures of all kinds. I'm not against eating meat, but I am against the way the agriculture industry treats animals before they slaughter them to be eaten, the slaughtering process isn't so nice either. I love white water rafting, rock climing, mountain hiking, cave spelonking (exploring) and cliff diving (underwater cave spelonking with out breathing apperatus is also pretty cool but its a little scary. I'm very into martial arts; I've had formal training in Aikido, Goju, Judo, Tae Kwan Do, and my sparring partner, Kyle Vargas taught me a thing or two about Shodokan. Im very into Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Fitness too bad theres only 24 hours in a day.

The rockstar is the noble warrior... Art is a blade so sharp it cuts strait through the mind and exsposes the heart
A tribe does not prerequisite the use of sticks and stones,
you could live in a spaceship with the rest of your tribe.
An Empire does not prerequisite the use of guns, gasoline and electricity, boiled down to tooth and nail one could still be imperial...
when all of the tribes of humankind see them selves as same-hearted only then can we hope to be free of the parasite that quickens the doom of us all...

My Interests

Jayels Interests: I'm very interested....
Im interested in getting to know you as casually or deep as you want to get (no thats not a friggin come-on). I'm interested in understanding myself. I'm interested in traveling to places I've never been to before, climbing trees i've never seen before... trying all sorts of new things, exploring anything I can find to explore. I'm interested in discovering new insights about the Universe and the world around me. And I'm interested in discovering why I'm actually writing all this... I've made so many great friends, learned so much and totally expanded my list of friends and aquaintences... what else could I ask for???

Check out Jigsaw soul on myspace, an awesome band and collaborative art movement that I've been honored to work with in the past and am excited to work with again in the future... Combining a vast array of experimental sounds with classic techniques, Live Dancers, A live VJ, cutting edge fashion, and visual art...
Their performance leaves you with an experience to remember and revere
just click on the .gif below to visit their myspace profile

"The Church of Pop" a collaborative tribe of artists, check out their portfolios and the art forum

The coolest source of T-shirts, Thermals, and Beaters there is (click the image of me modelling the LoveNico shirt to go to the LoveNico site)

Please take some time to check out
"The One Campaign" support the movement...

..r ..r I'm NOT INTERESTED in stroking the ego of an intellectualite... ..r there is many big differences between an intellectualite and an intellegent person, namely:
an intellectualite will correct your gramar and spelling at every chance they get, blurt out every fact they can when ever it seems relevant, and state simple concepts in as confusing a way a possible to make themselves APPEAR to be intellegent...
an intellegent person knows how stupid all of that is

I'd like to meet:

Everyone... but mainly people who are considerate of others and don't have to much of a chip on their shoulder, elitism is not one of my favorite character attributes... but like I said I'm interested in meeting everyone.

I never forget a friend...
although I'm almost as bad with names as I am with spelling

The Real Three Musketeers... hehe...
Click the image below to check out the group (and join it)

I'll thank you for your lovely picture comments...
I love seeing other peoples art work...

Self promotion is fine so long as its tasteful...
Dont leave a straight up commecial for your self on my page,
I will delete it... (that makes me sad)

I WILL NOT ACCEPT IMPERSONAL GLITTERY GIF COMMENTS!
DO NOT SEND ME GLITTERY GIFS UNLESS YOU MADE THEM...
IF YOU WANT TO SAY HI... JUST SAY "HI"!!!

Music:

I Love music, i'm not very selective about types of music... I like music that has a message thats beneficial to our society and earth in general... My favorite bands are Saphin and Rusted Root... Earl Slick rules... occassionally I crave listening to some Fear Factory... Mike Garson has been a great source of inspiration to me... I love System of a Down... Jack Schell Rocks!!! like i said theres not a style of music i won't listen to, as long as I like the music, thats what counts... and I'm very much into David Bowie...

Movies:

I've worked on a couple... I own alot... I feel the same way about movies as I do about music. I like a movie for what is says, not for what type of movie it is... i think my favorite movie might be Fight Club but theres just so many movies out their that i've enjoyed, its hard to say... and I aint listing them all... ask me if you want to know if ive seen or enjoyed a specific movie that you like

Television:

it's all just

In my house in Brooklyn,
I don't even have TV...
well, we have televisions, but there hooked up to dvd players and an old school NES...
no regular television (by choice)

Books:

favorite book right now is cloud of sparrows the sequal Autumn Bridge was awesome too. I like so many books it would be pretty boring to just list them all... I'm generally not a huge fan of dry non fiction although i do read alot of it in specific areas of intrest (which changes with the moon) I've read alot and keep reading alot... instead of me name dropping every title that I read liked and that I can think of right now you can just ask me sometime.

My whole Family!
Corinne Alexis Hall, Yoda, Chief Bonsai
All of the Bodhisadtvas (Buddahs incarnations), Ptesan-wi, Ghandi, Martin Luthor KIng Jr., Jesus, tatanka Yotanka (Sitting Bull), Leggolas, Victor*, Crazy Horse, Stuart Leslie Goddard (Adam Ant), Prophubhad Kami Swami, Mike Garson Rocks!!!, Gerronimo, David Bowie, Jack Potter, Garret, Yoshitaka Amano, Bob Marley, Bruce Lee, David Byrne, Yust, Madge Heron, Gizmo, Kyle Vargas, Earl Slick, XIV Dalai Lama (Rockstar supreme), Matsuoka Takashi, Rob Zombie, Trent Reznor, Santas Spy, Toxic Samurai Garbage Kat, Everyone in The Church of Pop, Everyoone in The Gossammer Court, most deffinately my little brother Jack, and many more
