About Me

I write this after an epiphany. I've lived a life where I've had to suppress who I really am for the sake of appearing as though I'm like others around me. I'm sorry, but I'm no longer able to belittle myself for the sake of conformity to the status quo. I feel as though it is against my integrity to do so.
The first thing to know about me, is that I'm completely honest. Right off that bat, that doesn't make me normal. You must understand this before I speak, that I don't walk around like I'm the shit, or boast about who I am. I am very friendly towards everyone and I guess you could say humble. However, my attributes are undeniable, as I have been commended for them many times, on numerous accounts, from different people that I've met throughout my life. I assume you have come to get the unadulterated truth about me, and I will not short-change you:
I'm not a normal human being. I do not conform to the rules of the physical universe. That's the general essence of myself. The rest are the implications of these facts. I've never been drunk, buzzed, high, shit-faced, tipsy, drugged, or numbed. I don't get sick. I don't get depressed. All of the problems that I have I'm aware of, none of which are uncontrollable. I'm very aware of what's going on around me, at all times. I get things done in a fraction of the time that it takes an average person to do. I achieve my goals. I know what I want in life. The most important thing to me in life is to help people, and help this planet. I'm a philanthropist. I'm a leader. I'm a very powerful personality. I'm extremely creative. I'm very good at what I do. I'm successful at everything that I do. I'm very intelligent (I guess this ties to being aware and willing to learn and take in data, but I do have a high IQ). I don't experience bad emotions (unless I don't take care of my body; don't eat right, don't sleep right, which is normally due to some abnormal circumstance). Regularly, I take care of my body. I take care of my spirit. I'm a very spiritual person, and spiritual freedom is of the utmost importance to me.
And very importantly, I'm a trained Scientologist (Volunteer Minister). What does this mean? This means that my passion to truly help people can be fulfilled. A few of the things that I've been trained to help are:
Overcoming Study Barriers
Achieving Goals In Life
Communicating
Improving Relationships with Others
Injuries and Illnesses
Drug Rehabilitation
Resolving Conflicts
Predicting Human Behavior
Integrity and Honesty
Overcoming Ups And Downs
Marriage and Relationships
Children
Succeeding In The Workplace
Organization
Investigating Problems
Public Relations.
And the best part is it works! Ask me about it.

My Interests

Acting, Screenwriting, Martial Arts, Surfing, Helping Others, Spiritual Freedom, among a million other things.

I'd like to meet:

That woman I've been searching for.

People who are sure of themselves, but are also very friendly toward others.

People who also have a strong passion for helping others.

Great Artists; fellow artists who share a passion for making change through their work.

People (particularly established artists) who understand the messages that I carry through my art, and can help me succeed in my career.

People who believe that something can be done about the negative situations in life and who DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

All in all, people who I can respect!

Music:

Music...so much can be mentioned about it, yet nothing needs to be said. Music is one of the most powerful things on this planet today. I have sincerely found a good song in every genre of music I've come across to date.

But I must say that at this time, my favorite artists are Kanye West and Lil Wayne.

Movies:

I love many, many movies. I don't have a favorite. I don't have a favorite genre. But I do own quite a bit of Sci-Fi, Action, Adventure, and Martial Arts movies.

Two movies have moved me emotionally recently and deserve honorable mention:
1) Rocky Balboa
2) Guess Who's Coming To Dinner

Television:

I'm currently watching Heroes, Lost, and Smallville. I wish the Chappelle show was still around.

Books:

The Basics:
Dianetics, Science of Survival, Self Analysis, Advanced Procedures and Axioms, Handbook for Preclears, History of Man, Scientology: 8-80, Philadelphia Doctorate Course, Scientology 8-8008, The Creation of Human Ability, Dianetics 55, Scientology: Fundamentals of Thought, Problems of Work, Scientology: A New Slant On Life, Scientology 0-8: The Book of Basics, Scientology: Ethics, The Way To Happiness.

Heroes:

The people who are actually DOING SOMETHING to change conditions on this planet.
