About Me

..
14th. Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
"There is no end, there is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life." - Federico Fellini
"we cannot solve human problems by fighting. problems resulting from differences in opinion must be resolved through the gradual process of dialogue. undoubtedly wars produce victors and losers; but only temporarily. victory or defeat resulting from wars cannot be long-lasting. our world has become so interdependent that the defeat of one country must impact the rest of the world, or cause all of us to suffer losses either directly or indirectly. our prime purpose in life is to help others. and if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them."- dalai lama
become the change that you want to see happen in the world. lift up your voice and open your minds. be part of something bigger than yourself and feel good about it.
it only takes one person to make a difference and it takes a whole group of people to make a revolution but it is time that we all start a revolution in our own lives. if you don't like something change it, stand up for yourself and stand up for the rights and freedoms that were indelibly given to you as a citizen and as a human being.
be kind, help someone that is in need, think about what you can do instead of what you can get, there is only one thing that is ultimately true. we will die; but how we lived our life is what we will leave behind. do not leave behind a legacy of hate, intolerance, laziness and ignorance. be aware, take accountability, it is time to, "be our brothers and sisters keepers", if we don't do it who will? the government isn't listening to us but it doesn't mean that we should stop speaking.

training to run in the AIDS marathon this year, building a beautiful relationship with my babe - and when i say it i truly mean it, finishing college, social-democracy, talking politics and religion with aSaL, having good times with my best buddies in the whole wide world, helping children in other countries have clean drinking water, being a quantum physicists and sex educator, fighting ignorance that is all around me, being a walking contradiction, and an anti-hero, and gay activist avenger. i also enjoy reading (a lot), big full moons, puppies and chinese babies (i want to adopt one or two). crossword puzzles, new and old scientific discoveries, how things work, and physics - i'm a huge nerd. i am currently trying to create "world peace" using the powers of my brain and imagination - why don't you try it with me!

I'd like to meet:

"there are two things that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, i'm not so sure about the former." - albert einstein
i want to meet people that aren't afraid to push themselves past their own insecurities and potential; i want to meet people that i can share life experiences with on a deeper level; i want to meet people who are just as complex as i am but wanting to surround themselves with the simplicity of nature and the beauty of the universe; i want to meet people that i connect with, they don't necessarily have to be like me but people that get me is a plus.
what i want in my life are real, honest, substantial, harmonious, and loving friendships; where we can learn and grow from and with each other.
we do not have to be our past, we can be whatever our minds can imagine ourselves to be or become. we are all powerful, amazing and beautiful human beings that can make a huge difference in the world and in our own lives in general. i want to surround myself with people who really truly believe that, who practice somekind of spirituality and/or have a strong belief in being good and kind towards others or just making a difference in serving humanity as a whole.
people i don't want to meet:
douche bags (big ones), anyone that doesn't know how to merge in traffic, people that don't tip well, mostly anyone that is totally unaware of what's going on around them and/or in the world.

Music:

portishead, massive attack, cocteau twins, mystic, india.arie, no doubt (gwen stefani by herself too), black eyed peas, i really enjoy all kinds of different music, ambient, electronic, house and some hip hop and r&b, i also like country music - 3 chords and the truth plus a bottle of whisky - you gotta love that shit...i can two-step in a pinch if it happens to save my life, i can also salsa and waltz.

Movies:

constantine, next stop wonderland, gone with the wind, oceans eleven, brokeback mountain, closer and anything that involves death, the human condition, adultary and the harsh realities of life - bring it!

Television:

i'm a history channel junkie, the food network, nip/tuck, and any csi shows especially las vegas.

Books:

    the alchemist - by: paulo coelho
    the four agreements - by: don miguel ruiz
    a good scent from a strange mountain - by: robert olen butler
    the story of b - by: daniel quinn
    O magazine - any issue
    kite runner - by: khaled hosseini
    the woman's bible - edited by: elizabeth cady stanton
    i just finished reading the da vinchi code - it kept me interested, good read, entertaining, easy to follow and if you're a history, art or religion buff you'll enjoy it more than reading a text book. take a peak...takes a few chapters to get into but once you're in you're hooked. ***1/2 stars. on a scale of 5.
    the beggar king and the secret of happiness a true story - by: joel ben izzy

Heroes:

ghandi, jesus, they did good work; you know the standard folks that dedicated their lives to righting wrongs and fighting against social injustice. Mother Teresa of Calcutta. And also my big sis vnil, big props to my MOM and all my friends - without them i am nothing.
