About Me

I am constantly doing and getting into different things in my life. As such, I can't be dedicated to one or two things for very long. The only things that I can consider myself dedicated right now is to creating visuals (art & graphics), managing and running my website: The Gamer's Journal , and working on my unique music project: Tanooki Rebirth . These three things have been an on going thing in my life, and probably will be what my life focus will continue to be.
I read, learn and research a lot everyday. I am very skeptical about lots of things, which makes me very pessimistic and cynical at times. I strive everyday to question particular rationals, perspectives and beliefs. I may come off as a jerk a lot of the time, but mostly really quiet. If somebody is making small talk, I don't tend to get involved in the coversation, some topic of worthwhile proportions needs to be initiated before I get talking. Sometimes to get a point across, you have to act in a way that effects people. This doesn't only apply to proving something, but also with communicating with others. I won't change myself if somebody has a problem with me. Doing so would jeopardize any belief I do have. Speaking of which... I believe people to be very close minded, hypocrytical, judgmental, stereotypical. As part of my doctrine, I try to stay away from that type of mentality, and sometimes try to convince others of such logic.
Sometimes I will start an argument/dispute in disposition to somebody's beliefs when they try to push it on others just to let them know there is always other opinions out there besides theirs. Sometimes I won't even belief in the particular opinion I am trying to in turn push on them. As such, many people will try to label and judge me in a certain manner.
I have come to terms with the diversity in human beings. I always try new things (to my abilities), I always explore everything possible, I always partake in every facet of life that there is, that I can. I am extremely open minded, and pride myself as such. I do not hate or dislike people just because they are different in behavior, judgement or beliefs. Doing so would be extremely pointless, and really doesn't do anything but drive me into a generalization of social conformity to pray on the different.
I try to bridge all social scenes by dressing in several different looks and styles, seemingly in random orders and fashions. I try to be unclassifiable in what I dress like, and what music I listen to (which is all types of music). One day I might be a punk, the next I might dress like a prep, or even a trendy wendy. This is reflective of my beliefs and definitely reflective of my musical tastes. To me, there is no point of generalizing yourself into a certain group/scene, because when you do that, you are usually saying that other groups (maybe emos, metal-heads, jocks) are stupid and lame, not once realizing that you are the exact same thing, just different in classification.
