My name is Tres I am a senior at ASU. I am majoring in Construction Management. I will graduate in 1.5 semesters and then on to bigger and better things. After I graduate I will work in the field for a few years, travel far and wide doing the work that needs to be built. I also want to be a commercial/residential developer. I will be a millionaire by the time I'm 30 (that's only 8 years away). I have goals, I have ambition, I'm basically a bad ass.
A little more about myself: I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA.
I love to travel, meet new people and just overall have a great time in life. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru. I want to visit South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, and The Caribbean. Eventually when I’m old and tired I want to retire in a villa in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants.
While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery.
All the crap that I've been through just makes me think of what I really want in life, and makes me more determined to seek it out. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.
That’s me in a nut shell, sort of.QUOTES!!!!
"We can all learn from our failures; what I've learned is how much it hurts to fail."
"I like who I am; and am puzzled to find that not everybody shares this opinion."
"My life so far has been a long series of things I wasn't ready for."
"If I had more skill in what I am attempting, I wouldn't need so much courage."
"My life has a superb cast, but I can't figure out the plot."
"I don't need a great deal of love, but I do need a steady supply."
"All I want is a little more than I’ll ever get."
"I have no pity for people in bad situations, save for people born with genetic defects - every situation is salvageable, there are chances for everybody to make something of themselves in this world... there is no reason to fail. Bad people around you? Get rid of them. No money? Give me a break. People around you dying? Deal with it; if you can't then that must be a sign of your weakness. Pity is for saps. Grow up, get your shit together, and make something of yourself. Nobody owes you anything, the only thing that keeps you from realizing your dreams is your own damn self. If you can't see beyond your petty little problems, then maybe you were supposed to live a harsh life, you deserve to suffer."

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safety in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up and totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO what a ride!"
"Far better it is to dare mighty things to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered with failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that know not victory or defeat." Teddy Roosevelt
"Put one dumb foot in front of the other and course-correct as you go."
"Goethe tells us in his greatest poem that Faust lost the liberty of his soul when he said to the passing moment, 'Stay, thou art so fair.'"
"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." - General George Patton
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animated contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." ~Samuel Adams
"Free men are not equal. Equal men are not free."
"If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able to Then He is not omnipotent.If He is able, but not willing Then He is malevolent.If He is both able and willing Then whence cometh evil?If He is neither able nor willing Then why call Him God?"
Libertarianism-support maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.
"How To Ruin Your Life"
15. Be oblivious, ignorant, apathetic – be totally unconcerned with what’s going on in the world – it will all sort itself out without you anyways.
14. Be passive – watch a lot of television.
13. Be fake, superficial, and disingenuous. Get your sense of personal identity through your material possessions.
12. Have a sense of entitlement, a huge chip on your shoulder. Look down your nose at those turds and consistently let them know what you really think of their sorry, useless asses.
11. Be spiteful. Harbor resentments. Live in the past. Hold onto grudges as if they were little life-rafts on the Titantic.
10. Be selfish. Drive a gas-guzzling SUV so that America remains dependent on third world tribes and Bedouins that sponsor terrorism.
9. Be bitter, unsatisfied, ungrateful. Complain about everything. Be a hater. The glass is always half empty and the sooner those fucking morons realize it the better.
8. Be prejudiced. Make yourself feel superior to all others by verbally degrading them – especially minorities.
7. Be a hypochondriac. Whine alot. Cry alot. Diagnose yourself with numerous psychological afflictions that you read about in Allure Magazine – and don’t be afraid to tell people that you have ADD, General Anxiety Disorder, you could be slightly Borderline and there’s a hint of Bipolarity on your mother’s side. Embrace learned helplessness and make others feel sorry for you.
6. Live in the future. Imagine and fantasize that the future will be better and more prosperous than the present. Hence, go wildly into debt – because you feel so miserable right now that there could not possibly be a bottom beneath the one you’re already at. Don’t think that that $100 blouse is actually costing you $124 ($100 plus the $24 per year your maxed-out credit card charges you in interest), think about how much self-esteem and self-worth you will acquire with a mere swipe of plastic. Bet the farm that you will happy in the future when you’re rich.
5. Be irresponsible, ineffectual, indifferent. Be late for all meetings. Show them that your time is infinitely more valuable than theirs.
4. Have no personal integrity. Steal, lie, cheat – do whatever necessary to get ahead. Do unto others as if you were constantly staking your claim for status and personal identity. Hey, they would fuck you if they had the chance so you may as well fuck them first. Fuck ‘em all. Right?
3. Be self-destructive. Drink, smoke, snort, shoot – party like it’s 1999 – and make sure you do it while driving at high speeds around crowded cities. When a cop pulls you over, be belligerent - ask him, “What’s your fucking problem, pig???!!!â€
2. Make it difficult or even impossible for others to love you. Be obnoxious, be aloof, be fear-based – combine all of the best traits from the above steps and embody them to the fullest extent humanly possible. If you’re really truly committed to ruining your life, sheer irresponsibility, ignorance, and indifference will not suffice: you must pro-actively work to ostracize and offend all other sentient beings until you’ve succeeded in alienating yourself 100%.
1. Try not to be born, try to be an abortion, try to miscarry yourself, try to not even be a glint in your father’s eye. If all that fails, kill yourself as quickly as possible.
