Everything's just shits and grins:(...:)

About Me

First things first. If you are a porn star (the whole webcam thing's gettin old fast), please dont ask to be friends (not that I have anything against porn, but if I want it I'm pretty sure I can find it:)! I try not to control life as much, just to hang onto the reigns ya know? But that doesn't mean that I'm lazy, I barely get any sleep(I just got a lot of dreams and no one else is going to do them for me). The times that I've tried to control my life I have lost sight of my goals, but the times I let go a bit it's like they just come to me, but there's always a bit of time you gotta put in. Go figure?;) I try not to expect anything anymore, that way when you get something it's twice as sweet. But I am far from perfect and am completely happy with that. I don't care to be perfect, but I am always trying to make my life more interesting, I hate being bored. If it's not a challenge then you gain nothing from it, right? Also, honesty and keeping promises are big things with me, I am guessing that everyone in the world says this, but I think it's a big deal. I feel people shouldn't judge so much, it's a waste of a thought. I you want to judge someone all you have to do is look in the mirror. I was in a really bad car accident 5 years ago and it's what I needed to rethink my life (I'll write a blog for more details). I have a few of jobs: one for me that I enjoy and the other cause I am good at it and another that I am proud to do. Right now I am in Nepal, Kathmandu for two goals. One is to help this orphanage (Buddhist Child Home), get a website going (I'll let you know what it is when we finish) and teaching a bit of English (my first time teaching, but it's great. I didn't know what the hell to do so I use movies with the subtitles and music to teach, IT WORKS!). Two, to make it to the Mt. Everest basecamp because in two years I come back here to summit Everest, crazy I know, but I got a lot of big dreams and if I'm gonna do them I gotta climb the biggest mountain. Also, if I shout my dream from the highest mountain then maybe everyone can hear it? And no one can question my dedictation to my dreams. If you get it, then you get it, if you don't...much love though. "Some people see things the way they are and ask, WHY?...I see things the way they could be and ask, WHY NOT?" R.F.K.

My Interests

Crossing the Sahara desert barefoot, easy bake ovens, my june bug collection and paint on body latex (actually this sounds like fun). Hope you know I'm kidding, if not please go away. Don't take life that serious, K? For real...snowboarding, sky diving, scuba diving, wake boarding, fly fishing, just started taking salsa lessons(still suck for now), volunteering, saving the world, travelling, reading, been tryin yoga (I can dig it), going to the gym (I'm no meat head, but I have to stay fit if I'm going to live the life I want to live, and all types of ill shit:)! Wanna learn how to ice climb, sail, fly a plane, wrestle with an alligator just once (i'd put my money on the alligator though)before I check outta here.

I'd like to meet:

I don't want to ever be bored with life. For me travelling is probably more important then school, it is my school (that sounded lame). to find people that aren't judgemental, no one really has all the answers, but I think I got a few (the more important one's). We're all a little bit off, I've just accepted mine:). So I guess someone that knows who they are, likes to travel, doesn't judge too much, and likes to experience life. Oh and Oprah Winfrey, she's the shit! I've already met my two favorite musicians Ben Harper and Slightly Stoopid (thanks guys!). So next it's just a one on one with the queen bee Ms. O.

Music:

Slightly Stoopid (don't judge by the name, this is my fav), Dialated Peoples, J 5, the Alchemist, Soul Position, Atmosphere, the Micranots, Mystic, De La Sol, the Grouch, the Roots, Mobb Deep, 2 Pac, Biggie (pretty much all hip hop, but I don't dig on BEP anymore, I think they sold out, I know you ladies love it, sorry), Ben Harper, some classical (I buy those classical compilation things so I don't know who the composers are, I know I suck!Yep), Sublime...gotta love it! Putamayo, Sweatshop Union, REd Hot Chili Peppers...and the list will just keep on going!

Movies:

Anchorman, Nepoleon Dynamite, the Boondock Saints, snowboarding flicks, Wedding Crashers, Motorcycle Diaries, any old Eddie Murphy, Don't be a Menace While Drinking you Juice in the Hood, the Power of One, Fight Club, American History X, Life as a House, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Shawn of the Dead, 40 year old Virgin, Fletch....

Television:

National Geographic, Discovery (Orange County Choppers are pussies though, I you really know bikes you know they are just fashion models. They don't create everything on the bike. I respect the ones that make the shit in their own grarage). And the X games

Books:

I don't have a favorite, the Alchemist, the Prophet by: Kahlil Gibran, Narrow Road to the Interior, At Cannan's Edge, The Ragamuffin Gospel, the Snow Leopard, As a Man Thinketh, The Four Agreements,a pretty good amount of poetry.

Heroes:

Martin Luther King, Jr. and my best friends (you know who you are)!

What Do I Believe
