Balance
Every Saturday Night
@ King King
Hollywood
I tend to be shy, until I get comfortable enough to open up. I collect quotes, they are pieces of advice, experience, life, and happiness. I'm into yoga, I need the balance and internal peace. I'm into MMA (mixed martail arts); the easest way to explain it is: it's the stuff you see in the UFC. I don't plan on doing it professionally, I just like getting hit and hitting back. I like to work on cars, especially when I don't know what I'm doing. I like the challenge and the feeling of accomplishment. I love going to the beach, the ocean is everchanging, violent, and at the same time, still and peaceful. I especially like driving up PCH on warm summer nights, with the full moon reflecting upon the ocean. I like all music, but I especially like acoustical guitar tracks. The melodies and the crispness of the guitar are a beautiful blend. I tend to stare at buildings and houses and criticize them, pondering on what I would do the same, differently, more efficiently, etc. etc. According to nearly everyone I've met, if I were a Friend's character, I'd be Shandler. (I say Shandler because for some reason I can't say Chandler... Chandler Bing!) I bought my dream car, a 1990 RX7 for the soul purpose of Drifting that bad boy, but I've put so much time and effort in it that I'm too scared to wreck it. Because when you Drift, you have crashed or you will crash. Jagermiester has got to be my hands down favorite drink. It's the only thing that will jack me up and make me feel good (not as good as Hale Berry in Monsters Ball, but you know what I mean). The dance floor is my haven... fuck that lean back, gangsta bullshit, I get my groove on and don't give a damn! I've got 3 tatts, working on getting more, but I'm picky as hell. I used to have piericings, but they aren't that great when it comes to MMA. I was in the Military for 6 years and I still miss the smell and feel of gunpowder, bullet shells, and my good 'ol Colt AR-15, aka M-16. Ignorant people piss me off. Immature people make me shake my head. Prejuduce people make me smile at their lack of education. Old people shouldn't drive... I shouldn't drive either. Kids who speak a foriegn language have got to be the most adorable thing ever! I kill snakes... sorry. I'm an OCD neat freak!! I like symmetry and equinimity. I'm going to go ahead and say it... If you want to know more, just ask! You can also catch a snippet of my personality by reading the quotes, listening to the music, and taking a look at all my picutres. But that will only get you so far, to get to really know me, meet me sucka! ;P

By becoming interested in other people
Than you can in two years

Live UNSELFISHLY
And the unexpected returns you get
Are unbelievable
And overwhelmingly positive!
From the backstabbing friends
To the meddling strangers
Who think they know you,
You are in charge of how you react
To the people and events in your LIFE.
You can either give negativity power over your LIFE
Or you can choose happiness instead.
Take control
And choose to focus on what is important.
