You can say I am many things...I feel that I am here to pretty much find out who I am and experience myself to the fullest extent! Seems the more I live the more this whole thing seems like one big acid trip. As of now you can say I am a Drummer and Percussionist... its my blood and my life!! I am also a Martial artist, an IT professional, a Entrepenuer, a Body Builder and a fitness freak!! I am really into books, enlightenment, meditation, video games, all types of humor. anything in nature...i guess thats why I am still in SLC, here u can experience all sorts of outdoor activities right down the street. Oh yea and I love to PARTY!

Anything enlightening that make your truely think...I also like comedies, drama, horror, action, kung fu movies you name it! As long as it doesn't totally suck I am open to just about anything.I really enjoy documentaries, uplifting movies like The Secret and What the Bleep, a really good one i just got was World Spirit with Alex Grey... way cool!!
TV hypnotizes people and is no good, it fills our minds with negative thoughts about ourselves and others! Buuut i do like Simpsons, Southpark, Dailyshow, anything funny and anything interesting and truthful, and doesnt seem like its poisoning my mind haha....which is rare! I would rather just focus on this:)
Cho Ku Rei
This is the Power Symbol. Reiki Energy will flow without it, but when you use it, it is believed that the energy increases significantly. It would be as if you had changed the bulb in a lamp from 50 watts to 500 watts. Use at the beginning of the healing session, and at any other time that additional power is needed. It is geared specifically for healing within the physical body.
Cool and informative video about the amazing technology of the human body:
