Somewhere, in a far distant land, there lies a
world that nobody knows. And well, that's not
where I'm at. I'm here on Earth. Fresno,
California to be exact. That's just where I
currently live though. I'm from a little city
about 13 miles north of Fresno called Madera.
I graduated from Fresno City College in May of 2008 with an AA degree in Theatre Arts. I like saying that, is that weird? I have an AA in Theatre Arts. I'm going to Fresno State now to get my BA in Theatre Arts with an emphasis in acting. I have a theatre company that I formed with my best fried, The People Next Door.
(They're my number 1 friend). Feel free to check
out the myspace. You'll get information on
audtions and stuff. I've been acting pretty much
my whole life. I also write stories, scripts, and
lyrics. I rap as well, or at least I try. I like
being creative. (My music page is my number 2 friend.)
I'm a nice guy, atleast I like to think so. I call
myself the sweetest guy alive. However aparently
I can be pretty intense sometimes with home much I
care. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
I'm not hurting anyone, right? Even if I don't know
you, I'll still care about you, sometimes more than I should, I guess. I'm the kinda person that'll walk up
to someone that looks like they're down and try to
cheer them up even if I don't know them. Just who I am.
Things That Irritate Me
When the first thing people ask me is that I'm gay after I tell them I'm a theatre major
When people think I'm gay beucase of something I like (example: calling me gay becuase I like boybands)
When people judge me, as one person put it, by my geographical location (example: assuming I'm a surfer just because I'm from Cali)
Making fun of people you don't know just becuase of what you hear in the media or from someone you know
Disrespecting The Person, not the Artist, You can insult a person's music all you want, say you hate their music, go for it, but when you start insulting the person whom you don't even know, that's not called for. Media is full of junk, don't listen to what they say. You don't know how the person is actually until you meet them.
When people call me Yankee, Gringo, or Cracker
When people don't realize those are racial terms and could offend people if you call them that
When people think you're stupid or ignorant becuase something offends you and they think it shouldn't
When people state their opinion as fact
When people are ignorant and actually think they're opinion is fact and refused to listen when you tell them it's not a fact it's an opinion and then when you tell them to prove it they can't but they still claim that it's a fact, they just say "it just is" or whatever or give you an argument and prove it by another opinion, you can't prove something in fact but an opinion ( Fact is something that can be proven, such as you need your heart to live, Opinion is something that you like, such as saying something is good music.)
When people don't like you just becuase one or more of your interests are different
When girls never where short skirts. I think girls should wear short skirts once in a while (the perfect girls where them all the time lol). I think girls should be all girly once in a while and put on a short skirt, and no by short I don't mean so short that her butt his hanging out.. I mean a skirt that goes half way down her thighs.. maybe to her knees, but not past her knees. What can I say, I like girls, not guys, so it bugs me when they never dress like girls and wear skirts once in a while.
Misconceptions About California
As somoene put it, I hate being judged by geographical location... stupid stereotypes
We are not all surfers
We don't all live within 30 minutes of the ocean
We have winter too, and yes that does mean it snows, we have mountains, it snows on mountains, perhaps you've heard of the Sierra Nevadas? And yes we have mountain towns too that it snows in. (It even snows like 20 minutes away from me)
Maybe I'll add more nonsense later.
Well, I think I'm over-thinking this whole thing about believing in something I cannot see
'Cause when I think about it I think there's no doubt about it
I do it every single day
Well, it's just like the air
No one knows where it comes or where it goes
But when I breathe in I believe again and again
So, if the whole wide world says You're not there
Well, I still know You're there
And even if they call me crazy, I don't care I still know You're there
And if they say there's no such thing as heaven or a God who waits for me
I just point to the air
And I know You're there
Yeah, ah, eah, ah, I know You're there
Yeah, ah, yeah, ah
I had a science teacher
Who tried to make me a believer
That evolution made the earth
But I can't give a big bang credit for this whole thing
Life is too beautiful for that to be true
Well, it's just like a child
A new born baby, there are no two the same tiny toes, finger prints
And with that thought I rest my case
So, if the whole wide world says You're not there
Well, I still know You're there
And even if they call me crazy, I don't care I still know You're there
And if they say there's no such thing as heaven or a God who waits for me
I just point to the air
And I know You're there
Yeah ah, yeah ah, I know You're there
Yeah ah, yeah ah
When a nation cries
When a loved one dies
When we wonder why
I still know You're there
When the nights
are long In a world gone wrong
There's still a feeling so strong
That tells me You're there
You're so undeniable
You're so unconfinable
And your love is so reliable
And it tells me you're there
So, if the whole wide world says You're not there
Well, I still know You're there
Let them all call me crazy,
I don't care I still know You're there
And if they say there's no such thing as heaven or a God who waits for me
I just point to the air
You know, I just put to the air
And I know You're there
Yeah ah, yeah ah, I know You're there
Yeah ah, yeah ah, I know You're there
Yeah ah, yeah ah, see, I know You're there..

*Religion, Beliefs, and other things*
I believe that there is a God. God is great and I love Him alot. I haven't been to church in a long time. I know I need to start going again but I never really liked church too much. My favorite part of church is the worship part. Worship is the music if you didn't konw. I usually only like it when my brother did the worship music though because he did contempary music. I like some church songs, but not alot, I prefer the Christian music you hear on the radio so sometimes church can be boring if that music isn't being sung. I am a member of Golden Valley Baptist Church in Madera Ranchoes but I havent actually gone to a church service there in years. I was going to Crosspoint in Fresno for a while, but not the actual church service. Stuff happened at GVBC and Crosspoint that I didn't like and so I don't know if I even want to go to a church. Maybe I'll go back someday but right now I'm in between churchs by choice. I still love God and He's a big inspiration and part of my life but I don't go to church.
I believe that abortion is wrong. Some people might say it's because I'm a Christian and that's why I think it's wrong, because as a Christian I'm supposed to or something but that has nothing to do with it. I believe that murder is wrong. Abortion is murder. The baby has a heart beat, you stop a heart, it dies. Do you know that if a pregnant lady is murdered it's seen as two counts of murder, two counts because the baby inside dies. So why is that murder of the baby but not abortion? Why is it murdering both the mother and the baby if the mother dies but not if just the baby dies? I also don't like people using abortion as a form of birth control... thinking "Oh, we can have sex, if i get pregnant, I'll just go down to the clenic and get an abortion" or whatever. It's not right. I can keep going on and on about abortion, I did a 5 minute speech on it in my speech class and ran out of time... So I could go on about it
Who will take a stand for the children?
Can't you hear their silent cry?
Join in the effort to save them
Don't stand by and let them die
(Chorus to Operation Rescue by KIIS)
I believe that President Bush isn't the devil. I believe there are worse presidents than him. I voted him in office the second time and would have the first time if I was old enough. Bush is ain't abortion and I like that. He made partial birth abortion illegal.. the worst kind of abortion. (And yes, I do support the war in Iraq... I don't like that it's gone on so long but I do support it. And people that don't support it, remember this, Vietnam was worse so if you think Iraq is the worst thing and that makes Bush the worst president, shut up because you're an idiot.)
I am okay with gay marriage. I have gay friends. I may think it's disgusting but I'm okay with it. I do not go around condemning them to Hell. I do not hate them like some people do. People forget one of the things it says in the Bible, "Love the sinner, hate the sin" Alot of people hate the sinner as well. But they're still supposed to be loved. And if they're going to help, that's not something I get to choose. Only God can say if they're going to Hell or not.. no one else. I know homosexuals that love God as much as I do.
I believe that not everyone 18 and older that likes a minor should be called a pedophille. I think it depends on how you act. If you're attracted to a 16 year old and you don't force him or her to do anything with you, if he or she is mature enough for a sexual relationship with someone of the aduilt age and the adult doesn't force the minor to do anything he or she doesn't want to do, the adult shouldn't be called a pedophile. I think a pedophile is an adult that minipulates or forces a minor to do things the minor doesn't wanna do.
I believe in reaching for things that might seem impossible. If I do I know that I tried to fullfill my dreams. If I don't make it then I don't, but I hate to think that I might have made it but never know because I didn't try. And if I set the bar too low that's the easy way out. If I aim to low then I know I won't accomplish what I truly want to.
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can sore
I see me runnin through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
(Chorus of I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly)
