About Me

"Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him. We, people's hearts, seldom say much about those treasures, because people no longer want to go in search of them. We speak of them only to children. Later, we simply let life proceed, in its own direction, towards its own fate. But, unfortunately, very few follow the path laid out for them--the path to their Personal Legends, and to happiness. Most people see the world as a threatening place, and, because they do, the world turns out, indeed to be a threatening place.
"So, we, their hearts, speak more and more softly. We never stop speaking out, but we begin to hope that our words won't be heard: we don't want people to suffer because they don't follow their hearts."
-The Alchemist
2007 and all I've gone thru has allowed me to see the people that truly care and love me step up to the plate, and for that I'm eternally grateful: my FAMILY, my friends--I will do anything that I can for those select few for the rest of my life--you know who you are. I love each and every one of you for what you've done and continue to do, and each day I strive to live to be the person that you'll be proud to say that you know and love.
In terms of the generic "About Me" I recently moved to Ventura from LA, and trying to just live a life at a pace that won't kill me. If you can't feel out a person by who and what he surrounds himself with, what turns him on, what he believes in and has the courage to stand behind even when things get rough, then we may not just vibe cause I'll be bored WITcha; cause you gotta have depth to your life, ya dig? KARMA is the underlying universal force that should motivate you how to live your life, regardless of your religion, dogma, or doctrine. Act accordingly, cause it'll get ya.
Truth.

My Interests

Concerts, especially Dave Matthews Band concerts, but anything that can hit your soul and make your head nod, along with good people to kick it with is where you'll likely find me. I'm always yearning to just kick back and not do a thing besides mellow out and chill, but I'm a 'victim' of social settings, so I'm rarely sitting still. Picking up the guitar and surfing, which if you know me, is symbolic of my quest for harmonious balance in this krazy life.
I rep Cardinal and Gold.
Cause We Are...SC

I'd like to meet:

I keep my true people close to me no matter where they are in this twisted world--a plane ride is the same as a car ride, ya dig: A to B.
Intrigued? "Buy the ticket and take the ride..."

Music:

Dave Matthews Band, 2Pac, Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Doors, The Beatles, U2, NIRVANA, Dr. Dre, sublime, O.A.R., Rolling Stones, Rage Against The Machine, Muse, Notorious BIG, Jimi Hendrix, Jay-Z, Fleetwood Mac, Incubus, Jurassic 5, Dilated Peoples, The Roots, and completely open to anything that causes a stir in another's soul-throw it on and I'm open to vibe; basically "one good thing about music when it hits, you feel no pain" and my life always rolls with a soundtrack...Right now I'm riding a heavy Ryan Adams wave because of depth like this that hits your soul.

Movies:

Scarface, The Godfather, Resevoir Dogs, The Matrix, Star Wars, Blow, The Big Lebowski, The Doors, Pulp Fiction, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Tupac Resurrection, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Kill Bill, Dazed and Confused, American Pimp, Easy Rider, The Last Samurai, The Usual Suspects, and a grip more that I wished that I watched a little more often in order to just lose myself in another world for a delicate few...

Television:

not that often and not addicted like the rest of working USA, but if it's on it's usually a concert, USC Football, 24, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Weeds, Dexter, Entourage, My Name Is Earl, Family Guy, The Office, SportsCenter, Da Ali G Show, Robot Chicken

Books:

The Godfather, The Art of Happiness, The Tao of Pooh, The Catcher In The Rye, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Angels and Demons, Journals, Blackbird Singing, Monster The Autobiography of an LA Gang Member, Love and Death The Murder of Kurt Cobain, Kingdom of Fear, Step Into the Light, The Da Vinci Code

Heroes:

FAMILY-both blood and acquired; you are my life and the reason that I keep on keepin' on; there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and smile--you know who you are. Loyalty, honesty, honor, and integrity are too few and far between in this day and age, so unfortunately, by default, one may slide into the hero category by simply having character. People that aren't afraid to INTELLIGENTLY speak their mind--no matter what the issue. Those who keep their head up dealing with adversity such as diseases, socio-economic strife, or being the victim of any of the needless and pointless -isms. Those that feel for, sympathize, help and fight for people who can't fight for themselves. Just cause you're born at a certain longitude and latitude or within a certain enclosed line on some piece of paper doesn't make you better, unless it's California (ha just playin).
