About Me

I try and see the best in life, even though it may seem to be working against me at times. I believe that we all want intangible things in life but get confused by going after the tangible too much. Some of my favorite words are freedom, soar, inspiration, grateful and groovy. I love people that live their life as they dream no matter what the world says."Jump and the net will appear" and "The Universe conpires to those who follow their dreams" has kept me going against all the facts that seemed to be against me ever since I was in my late teens. My most recent trial has been moving to LA with a little money, 2 bags and no where to live or any job. Just a vision and a dream that led to some of the hardest trials I've ever gone through, but time and time again, things happen to let me know there is a greater force guiding me along my life path and continues to do so. Wherever you go, there you are. I learned that you take your world with you wherever you go; I believe that you create your own life and believing otherwise kills the enormous power that human beings have. Many times our logical need to figure things out makes us forget something - the fact that we're here and doing what we do and you reading this is against all odds.I'm always reminding myself to think from the heart.Having studies martial arts almost my entire life, along with healing arts, metaphysical studies and the like, I sense alot of people think I'm kinda "out there" since I look at life more symbolically than practically. I'm not aligned with any religion but I believe that there is an incomprehensible power that animates the entirety of the universe that we are all a part of and putting a label on it is a strange concept to me and alot of conflict arises out of personalizing a power that is universal. Though I dislike the extreme judgement that many religious groups create, I sometimes ask myself "What would Jesus do?" or "What would Buddha do?" Have non-judgemental compassion, love and reverance for all life. I don't believe either would approve of hating anyone thats just being who they are based on an old book. Thats what I think...now practicing it is another thing. What I believe in a nutshell - be open, don't entertain doubts, be loving and generous just for the sake of being so, see the miracles in small things, love every moment knowing all things are transient and most importantly: your life is autobiographical and not instructional. The world gives to you exactly as you give within yourself.Flow through your bliss.LOOK OUT!

My Interests

Been into martial arts since I was 6, like to do yoga, cycling, firedancing (asian arts based) weight training, trail running, jumping off of high places, wresting sharks on hallucinogens (only did it once, those suckers do feel like sandpaper), writing of all kinds, playing the Native American flute, healing arts (practicing and teaching).

I'd like to meet:

Dreamers that aren't afraid to go and pursue their highest visions. Martial artists that love the art and see the practice as a way of inner peace and not perpetual violence and challenge. People that focus on what they can do to better their own lives instead of stagnating and blaming others for their misfortunes. Fimmakers, stuntmen, actors and anyone interested in films that challenge the mass perceptions of the social quota, opening new ways of viewing the world instead of constricting the possibilites of life and expression.

Music:

Trance, Psy and Goa-Trance, Deep and Progressive Trance, the kind that lulls your mind into an expanded awareness that you can groove with. Hybrid music that mixes electronica with hip hop, alternative, rock, etc is also great. As with everyone, I change my music with how I feel I want to feel.

Movies:

FFVII:Advent Children, 300, What the bleep do we know? The Secret, Transformers, Hero, Matrix, you get the idea..

Television:

Robot Chicken! ..and Discovery, Animal Planet, etc..

Books:

Anything that blows my mind and lets me see things through a new lens.

Your an ice dragon! Congrats! Out of all the
dragons, you are most powerful but do not like
to show it. A rare and special creture, you
have artistic style and are great at expressing
yourself. You think friends and Familly are the
most important, and are a hopeless romantic.
But of course, as ice goes, you can be a little
cold or harsh at times. But not to worry, you
always apoligize later!

What elemental dragon are you?
