It has come to my attention that what I've done on here might be hard to follow. So I will give you some help if you're really trying to actually read through it. In this site I have 4 colors,
Orange: poems I've written,
green: for cool long quotes I've found,
Light-Blue: well, as you can see is anything about me personally, and
White: anything that doesn't fall into the other three categories.

You Should Be A Poet
You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways.
And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery...
Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever.
You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem.

I am a graduated outdoor recreation major so I like spending time outside; skiing/snowboarding, camping, hiking, etc.
I also enjoy being inside too; I enjoy working on my computer for some odd reason, not totally sure why, I guess I just enjoy being able to do a ton of stuff at once. I have been teaching myself html, bridge (the card game), the d20 system (DnD for those that care--its a game designed entirely on your imagination), and also I delve into how to express myself better through writing poems.
I enjoy anything that stimulates my mind, makes me think, or challenges me in a mental way.

Plastering the page with stimulus trying to express myself,
I fill it with quotes pictures facts poems and more,
trying to make it something then it was before
(a visual email center—which is really all that I perceive it to be),
I find it to be quite fun even if you all think it is lame,
for the page is my own and it’s nice to be shown for I use it like a poster of who I’ve become,
I fill it with things of interest, personality, and glee just because I seem to want you to know me,
for me.

"Many a noble sat often in council, sought a plan, what would be best for strong-hearted men do against the awful attacks. At times they vowed sacrifices at heathen temples, with their words prayed that the soul-slayer (or devil) would give help for the distress of the people. Such was their custom, the hope of heathens; in their spirits they thought of hell, they knew not the Ruler, the Judge of Deeds, they recognized not the Lord God, nor indeed did they know how to praise the Protector of Heaven, the glorious King. Woe is him who in terrible trouble must trust his soul into the fire's embrace, hope for no comfort, not expect change. Well is the man who after his death-day may seek the Lord and find peace in the embrace of the father."

You Are a Glazed Donut
Okay, you know that you're plain - and you're cool with that.
You prefer not to let anything distract from your sweetness.
Your appeal is understated yet universal. Everyone dig you.
And in a pinch, you'll probably get eaten.
What Donut Are You?
You Are Olive Green
You are the most real of all the green shades. You're always true to yourself.
For you, authenticity and honesty are very important... both in others and yourself.
You are grounded and secure. It takes a lot to shake you.
People see you as dependable, probably the most dependable person they know.

About Me: Who I’d Like To Meet: Favorite Art: Friends: ***Poems:***
I'm totally into skiing/snowboarding, whether teaching it or doing it, its a blast.I enjoy trying to write poetry.
The Field of Fire , The Exterior Box , The Polluted Stream , The Confused Soul , Condemned , Trying to get into Focus , The Window of Freedom --To list a couple.I enjoy teaching myself new things, such as Photoshop, html, bridge or anything else that is a mental effort.Chess: it doesn't matter if I'm winning or loosing, you can always learn something from chess.
Even if your learning something about the other individual--this is one of the better aspects of chess in my opinion.
Its one thing to learn how to play and get better at your personal game; but I totally like playing because it can usually tell me something about who I'm playing with, a piece of their character if you will.Cribbage, canasta, and bridge I would have to say are my main card games, most other card games I find a bit lackingI am very interested in the d20 system. The dynamics are very interesting, that and the fact that you have to use your imagination to play is also a plus; and it's the only dice game I can halfway get into.I like engaging my mind in puzzles; jigsaw, math, logic, crosswords, sudoku; I would say most puzzles. I like the challenge and I really like the logic.I would also call myself an average photographer; though I am not desperately pleased with taking shots of people, I think all my nature shots are surprisingly good.
On a more physical note:
-I enjoy racquet ball,
-hiking, going on like 2 and 3 hour long walks for no reason whatsoever (for those that know, I've walked from Salnave to Four Lakes just for fun),
-bike riding (sometimes),
-the poor mans sport: Bowling,
-and working out (and none of this sissy sit and stretch for half an hour crap, I mean WORK OUT).

'Ok. So, more then?'
"Look, we want you to express yourself, ok? If you think the bare minimum is enough, then ok. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, ok? You do want to express yourself, don't you?"

The Monster Just Wanted to Be Loved (10/5)
A creation of parts popped into existance, and yet its so ugly, misinterpreted and benign, that those that see it run in fear and so it watches learning about interactions from families and differing sexes, wondering if it will ever be able to be accepted wondering if it will ever take a role in societies play, whenever it tries the world looks at it as a monster not understanding and not caring that all it wants is a friend and a companion, and so they hunt it with pitch forks and axes suffocating it into a dark hole making it feel alone, always alone, making it feel helpless and in despair, all because they dont want to take the time to understand this hideous beast that stares out in a world trying to understand some meaning, some reason, behind the forgottenness and loneliness of how the world views the thing, that is still struggling with its own exsistance;
And so I have to wonder how many frankensteins are here, forgetting the souls that just want a friend somebody to be around and yet seem to chase those souls into seclusion from societies clutches with their disregardings and harsh word bindings

You Are Expressionism
Moody, emotional, and even a bit angst... you certainly know how to express your emotions.
At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much.
This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it's even maybe made you cultivate some artistic talents!
You have a true artist's temperament... which is a blessing and a curse.
What Art Movement Are You?
"I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had who was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on I am your teacher."

How can we describe art? The way it makes us feel? The tones and colors that seem to stand out to individuals. How some art speaks to some people and to others its just a colored canvas.
I would say that I am more of a naturalistic artist, I enjoy some abstract, and even some surreal art but most art I think that speaks to me is realistic. But there again, I like art that I can relate too or that gives me something even if that something is awe.
Some of my more favorite artist and art:
Sunset in Yosemite Valley: Albert Bierstadt

An awesome black and white artist of sureal-realistic.

"But I had another Reason which made me less forward to enlarge his Majesty’s Dominions by my Discoveries. To say the truth, I had conceived a few Scruples with relation to the Distributive Justice of Princes upon those Occasions. For instance, a Crew of Pirates are driven by a Storm they know not whither; at length a Boy discovers Land from the Topmast; they go on Shore to Rob and Plunder; they see an harmless People, are entertained with Kindness, they give the Country a new Name, they take formal Possession of it for their King, they set up a rotten Plank or a Stone for a Memorial, they murder two or three Dozen of the Natives, bring away a couple more by Force for a Sample, return home, and get their Pardon. Here commence a new Dominion acquired with a Title by
Divine Right. Ships are sent with the first opportunity, the Natives driven out or destroyed, their Princes tortured to discover their Gold; a free License given to all Acts of Inhumanity and Lust, the Earth reeking with the Blood of its Inhabitants: And this execrable Crew of Butchers employed in so pious an Expedition, is a
modern Colony sent to convert and civilize an idolatrous and barbarous People.

Music:
Blues, Classical, Instrumental, Jazz, Orchestras, Soft Rock, and Some Opera. The radio is always a plus in the fact that I don't have to get up to change cd's.
Bagpipes, Oriental flutes, didgeridoo, the recorder, bands entirely made up of drums, the Indian flute, Indian chanting, Indian drums, and of course the kazoo.
Pink Floyd any and all, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Tchallkosky, Third Day, Ray Charles, The Three Tenors, The Decemberists, The Doors, etc etc to list a few actual artists.
I know they aren't necessarily counted as music, but I enjoy listening to nature: The river, ocean, birds chirping, rain, hail, soft wind, wind in the trees, they're all just so relaxing. I think it's classified as white noise, or what I like to call harmony in nature.

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken; To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin.
His head smashed in, and his heart cut out, And his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged, And his nostrils raped, and his bottom burned off, And his penis split ... and his ... ...
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
'I didn't.'
Bravely ran away, away.
'No, no, no.'
When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes, Brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave Sir Robin Petrified of being dead Soiled his pants then brave Sir Robin Turned away and fled.

Some things in life are bad they can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle don't grumble, give a whistle and this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten there's something you've forgotten and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you're feeling in the dumps don't be silly chumps just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd and death's the final word you must always face the curtain with a bow. Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit when you look at it life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show keep 'em laughing as you go just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life...Always look on the right side of life...(Come on guys, cheer up!)...Always look on the bright side of life...Always look on the bright side of life...(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)...Always look on the bright side of life...(I mean - what have you got to lose?)...(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!)...Always look on the right side of life...

Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle are You?
Donatello
You've been described as 'the brains' of your family or group of friends. You're the natural born, 'Mr. Fixit'. You're also considered the most reserved, preoccupied with your own little thoughts and ideas. But that doesn't mean you don't hang with your family and friends! But, you still find it easy to get lost in your own thoughts...daydreaming often. You'd rather talk things out than fight. You long for a day when there's nothing but peace in the world, and when you can finally rest with your own thoughts. Violence is something the world could completely live without. One of your labels may be, 'true to blue friend'. You're strong at heart and powerful at mind.

Laziness:
Laying about, anywhere is comfortable, anywhere is good, to just sit back and waste the day away; seeking your bed, though soft and warm, isn't always the best place to lay, for there are always places, crevasses, corners, and even the middle of the floor that are great substitutes in where to lay away for the day.

"Amid frequent and thoughtful endeavors to remember; amid earnest struggles to regather some token of the state of seeming nothingness into which my soul had lapsed, there have been moments when I have dreamed of success; there have been brief, very brief periods when I have conjured up remembrances which the lucid reason of a later epoch assures me could have had reference only to that condition of seeming unconsciousness......"
......"The odor of the sharp steel forced itself into my nostrils. I prayed --I wearied heaven with my prayer for its more speedy descent.

Books:
The Bible is always a good thing to read.
I enjoy most classic literature, examples such as: Dantes Inferno, Beowulf, Dracula, Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, etc.
I am a big Edgar Allen Poe fan, and even some Shakespeare (I do hate, however ROMEO AND JULIET--Garbage).
Some of my more favorite books are:
*"Black", "Red", "White" all by Ted Tekker (a trilogy of books);
*"The Princess Bride";
*"Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy";
*A lot of Frank Peretti's books, "This present Darkness" is probably my favorite;
*"Ender's Game";
*All the Lord of the Rings books;
*Out of the tons of books they made us read in school I only liked "Watership down" and "Fahrenheit 451"
The list seems to grow all the time, however. I also enjoy a well written poem that says more then just the sky is blue and the day is grey.

The Ant and the Grasshopper
An Aesop Fable
One summer day a grasshopper was singing and chirping and hopping about. He was having a wonderful time. He saw an ant who was busy gathering and storing grain for the winter.
“Stop and talk to me,†said the grasshopper. “We can sing some songs and dance a while.â€
“Oh no,†said the ant. “Winter is coming. I am storing up food for the winter. I think you should do the same.â€
“Oh, I can’t be bothered,†said the grasshopper. “Winter is a long time off. There is plenty of food.â€
So the grasshopper continued to dance and sing and chip and the ant continued to work. When winter came the grasshopper had no food and was starving.
He went to the ant’s house and asked, “Can I have some wheat or maybe a few kernels of corn. Without it I will starve,†whined the grasshopper.
“You danced last summer,†said the ant in disgust. “You can continue to dance.†And he gave him no food.
