About Me



Click to zoom in on my visitor map!
Well at first I guess I could be a bit of a shy guy but once you get to know me watch out ! I'm one of the craziest MTF you'll ever meet. I love to be out doors all year round so if you can hang, let's "Roll Out" .Having fun in the wild out doors is a passion of mine but I can just as easily kick it inside watching one of my Quinton T. flicks or kicking some ass on the Ps2 soon 2b PS3 ha hahaha! I love to explore new cultures and meet new people. I've found out that we are all primarily much the same once we get to know one another.One quick question for Ya. Would you concider yourself to be an escapist and I don't mean fron Jail and what would be you escape velocity? Here are a few words of wisdom that I try to live by.
Your Personality Profile
You are funky, outdoorsy, and down to earth.
While you may not be a total hippie...
You're definitely one of the most free spirited people around.
You are very impulsive - every day is a new adventure.
However, you do put some thought behind all your actions.
Still, you do tend to shock and offend people from time to time! The World's Shortest Personality Test I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke in me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive." - --[ Malcolm x ] "The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses." - -- [Malcolm x] "The only way we'll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world. We are blood brothers to the people of Brazil, Venezuelan Haiti and Cuba." - -- [Malcolm x] "Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery." - "Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live!" - -- [Bob marley] "Life and Jah are one in the same. Jah is the gift of existence. I am in some way eternal, I will never be duplicated. The sigularity of every man and woman is Jah's gift. What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah. The process of what that struggle becomes, in time, the Truth." - -- [Bob Marley] "Me only have one ambition, y'know. I only have one thing I really like to see happen. I like to see mankind live together - black, white, Chinese, everyone - that's all." - -- [Bob Marley]
If You Were Born in 2893...
Your Name Would Be: Vuis Kiku
And You Would Be: A Prophet If You Were Born in 2893"I want freedom for the full expression on my personality." - --[Mahatma mohandas gandhi] "I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses." - -- [Nelson mandela] "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." - [ Nelson mandela "]We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right." - --[ Nelson mandela ] "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." - -- [Mahatma mohandas gandhi] "What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?"[gandhi] Strive with no one without cause,if they have done you no harm.The wise shall inherit glory : but shame shall be the promotin of fools.Get wisdom , get understanding :forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth .Do not let mercy and truth forsake you tie them around your neck write them on the table of your heart. Forsake the foolish , and live; and go in the way of understanding .Peace!!! "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water.Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash!" - -- [Bruce lee] "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."--[Bruce lee] "I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude.

I'd like to meet:

The Pope ..Prince.. Charlie Murphy ,that's one funny ass nikka! . any of the Playboy Bunnies ..Mary L. Parker from the t.v. show weeds..or just some really cool down to earth people . Peace and Love ..! The Gypsy Violin , The compelling violin lures With an irresistible yearn Dance, dance, please dance for me I can no longer adjourn!Ethereal notes float from its strings Caressing like a lover's hand Sensual music, Angel's touch Leading the way to wonderlandEmbracing with utter delight Craving, beckoning me Tempting my lonely heart Dance, dance on my melody!Faster, faster the music escapes Without compassion to body or soul Seducer of lonely hearts Until dancing is my only goalFaces gyrate while I dance on passion Flashes of fire in the corner of my eyes The violin plays like never before Until I become one and loneliness diesWith a final cry and a final touch The violin stops, the music ends Leaving behind an emptiness We'll meet again, my violin friend- Wrongfully Convicted by Angelina Merrill Some people are wrongfully convicted. Putting in Appeals, hoping the charges will be lifted. A prison cell, now their new home. Entrapped, inside razor barb fences. With no more freedom to roam. A lot of precious years, will be lost. At somebody else's cost. Taking everything day by day. The only thing left to do is hope and pray. Maybe some day, the real criminal will meet their fate. Wrongfully convicted, and having a lot of hate. Pushed through the system, so they can close the case. Not able to accept what has happened. Sooner or later, it will have to be faced. Innocent as hell, we shouldn't be here. Living a life of constant fear. Maybe, they'll realize they made a mistake. Hopefully some day, when I awake. I will hear I'm a free man. A journey home, I'll take.- Death , Life by N It stalks the night It stalks the day It seeks out life And whisks it away It's known as death And other things too But it's all the same What matters is you. How do you see it? What does it mean? It's best if you know For death is unseen. It can take you at day It can take you at night Knowing death well Can lend you some light The passage to death Is always unclear And it's best to know That you're very near. For death is at hand It is for us all Know it's face well So you don't stumble and fall Now think hard on death And know that it's near And the meaning of life Will be all to clear And that is to live For your hearts desire Not to stumble or fall But to burn with a fire. A fire for life To live for each day To reach for your dreams No matter what people say Life is a question And death holds a clue Reach not for the answer For your life's not due Live for the moment And die for it too For it's the moment that counts It, and you Now I'm all done I've said what I'll say Just remember one thing.Live for the day!

Transfixed I stand and watch the Tireless Sea As it's waves crash upon the shore, spraying it's white, salty foam Against the jagged rocks and cliffs below, then returning into itselfThe tireless sea wherein its immeasurable depth secrets lie buried, never to be revealedThe tireless sea whose temperament is so mystifying it neither fears, nor needs any man but gathers its strength from within "Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
