About Me


"Be the change you want to see in the world." -Ghandi
"Nobody can hurt me without my permission." -Ghandi
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt
"You already possess everything necessary to become great." -Crow Proverb
"No answer is also an answer." - Hopi Proverb
"But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else . . . Happiness is based on a just discrimination of what is necessary, what is neither necessary nor destructive, and what is destructive." -Ursula K. Le Guin's The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
My name is Mark. My older sister named me.
I have a scar under my right eye, which I got when I was 3 years old.
I can be very political at times. I don't like Democrats or Republicans. I think we should get rid of this two-party system.
I like to call myself liberal and progressive. I am an environmentalist and humanitarian.
I don't get how paptosos (people [who] are prejudiced towards other's sexual orientation) think the way they do.
I am starting to coin my own words. Look above.
Love is blind, colorless, and universal!
Don't even try to convert me to your religion, because I'll rip your head off. I don't try to convert you, so don't try to convert me.
I admire any and all [positive] activists.
I have low self-esteem, but I try to be positive.
I am shy, but I love meeting new people.
I want to be an author and something else.
I might major in political science or psychology and minor in writing, business administration, English, or Spanish.
I have a diverse group of friends, and I love them all.
Family is very important to me. Hurt them and I'll hurt you.
I get laughing fits that are started by something that is not really funny.
My mind is almost always in the gutter. I make tons of sexual innuendos, just ask my friends.
I love college, it is way better than high school. It is not as hard as people make it out to be, so don't worry.
These five virtues are important to me: honesty, trust, loyalty, integrity, and respect.
I like to think I am very open minded, but someone could prove me wrong. [If you think you can't be proven wrong, then you just proved yourself to be closed minded.]
I like change, even if it is small. Which is why I will constantly add to this "About Me" section.
You can't always believe what you hear. At one time, the greatest minds in history thought the earth was flat.
I can be hypocritical, but so what? Everybody is at some point, at least I'll admit to it.
