About Me


iMikee.com (my website)
My Flickr Page
I think too much about things that no one really takes the time to. A curious soul, with a childlike nature. I am a divergent thinker. I am a crusader. A man on a quest to alter his universe.
Constraint doesn't fit me well. I'm returning to school after many years of self teaching. A little structure, but not constraint. I'd like to live my life more like a sonnet. With the freedom to create within the 14 lifelines. The rhyme scheme is set. It's up to me to fill in the imagery and work the words to fit the structure.
I am renaissance. My interests are wide and varied. Some creative. Some philosophical. Some logical. Some sociological. Some scientific. And on, and on and on. I often jest when asked, "what do you do?" "It'd be easier to tell you what I don't do." My principle interests will always be the arts. And I live by the credo, "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything".
..

My Interests

"Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere."

-Gilbert K. Chesterton



"Imagination is the testing grounds for life."

-iMikee



"A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming."
-R.W. Emerson



"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."
-Ambrose Redmoon



"You're Possible!"

-iMikee



"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

-Benjamin Franklin



"If there's any advice I've taken or would give, it's if you just do exactly what you want to do and don't look back, then things work out and people genuinely get excited because of that."

-Billie Joe Armstrong



"Great spirits always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds."

-Albert Einstein



"They'll tell you that you can't... They'll tell you not to try... They'll tell you it's impossible... I'll tell you it's a lie."

-iMikee



I'd like to meet:

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the trouble makers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo, you can quote then, disagree with them, glorify or vilify, about the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,

ARE THE ONES WHO DO!

Music:

in flux constantly

Movies:

back to the future, any film i make, any film that makes me feel like making movies again.

Books:

the age of spiritual machines, parallel universes, the complete sherlock holmes, the virtue of selfishness, mac tech books, diary, elements of user experience, rebel without a crew

Heroes:

You'll be my hero if you help me fund a project!

I used to write letters to Santa, but I would never send them. I had a whole stack. I guess I figured SC was too busy for my meager wishes, so why bother? Looking back, I wish I would've sent him a...
