CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!
You Are 70% Boyish and 30% Girlish
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.
How Boyish or Girlish Are You?
Some rambulations...
Maybe the truth is, there's a little bit of loser in all of us, you know?...
Being happy isn't having everything in your life be perfect.Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things...
and making those count for more than the bad stuff.Maybe we just get through it...
and that's all we can ask for.

On the other hand, maybe there's a whole lot of winner in each of us...
and finding that winner takes everyone different amounts of time.Maybe we get through it and conquer our faults and mistakes...
and at the end we receive all we can ask for.________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________

I try to live my life with Integrity and in Truth. I base my morals and values on the teachings of the Lord, on enjoying life through experiences and not material things, on showing Love to everyone and defending the weak and defenseless, on having a good and giving heart, and on saving the judging to the one Ultimate Judge. I know I'm not perfect and I'll be the first to admit that I make mistakes and slipups, it's through these mistakes though that I believe we grow as people and learn who our true friends are as well as where our lives are meant to go. A lot of times those with the best Character traits and best Hearts are those who have suffered through many trials, tribulations, heartache, and mistakes. It's these things that bring them Wisdom and Empathy for like situations. WoW... I could really get going on talking about this stuff so I'll save you all some time....4 now.
Things I look upon with disdain are liars, flakes, fakes, cheats, bullies, and heartless people. I understand though that we are all these things to some degree so I don't hold it against the actual person... but I do disapprove of the actual actions and try to either steer clear of peeps that exibit these character flaws or make the mistake of sticking around thinking I can change them. And that is something I need to work on.... stay tuned....

My Interests

The Lord my God...Jesus, above all else-------------------------------------------Tha Beard & Tha Broph... I'm VP of their fan clubs!!!----------------------------SEAHAWKS... NFC CHAMPIONS!!!_____SEAHAWKS!!!!! I've been bleeding Blue and Green since about '79, honestly, so to all you peeps jumping on now after all the pain and suffering I just have this to say...I'm not a hater, Ima Lover, Enjoy the ride... but if they ever lose again and you fall back into your "Seahawks Suck." view on things, Ima be there for you... to shove all those hatin statements you'll be spewin out your mouth, back up where they belong... in your ass.

I'd like to meet:

The One.......You?....... Your mom ________________________________________________________Oh yeah, and Chris Beard...he's prolly with your mom right now actually.... they're just kickin' it, don't worry, sheesh... simma down!!!

Music:

Music is something I could not imagine not having in my life. It means so much to me... it reminds me, inspires me, motivates me, uplifts me, and etc. I listen to just about every genre depending on my mood. My tastes really run a broad spectrum. I guess music that is real and not contrived, from the heart and with meaning, is more what I like and tend to listen to and identify with. Thats not to say that I don't listen to the stuff with a catchy hook or bangin beat, I can get sucked into it too. Some of my favs are: Shawn McDonald, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Tom Petty, Rage Against the Machine, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Jane's Addiction, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Johnny Cash, Snoop and Dre, Pharrell, OutKast, Mat Kearney, Bebo Norman, Jars of Clay, David Crowder Band, Switchfoot, Jimmy Eat World, Bush, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Kenny Chesney, Shakira... i could go on and on Some tunes I seem to be digging lately: Gnarls Barkley, Fort Minor, Taking Back Sunday, Anthony Hamilton, The Fray, John Legend, James Blunt, Fiona Apple, Social D, Coldplay, The Game, Jamie Foxx, Hawk Nelson, a lil Coheed and Cambria, Bowling For Soup, The Who... I LOVE MUSIC!!!

Movies:


I Love watching movies... either w/ tha fellas on the bigscreen @ Tha Hinz' or w/ a cuddle buddy @ mi casa. A lot of the time I end up goin the solo route though cause it's so much easier to coordinate and most of the time it's early AM when I get around to putting tha flik in. Some of my favs off the top of my head are:_____________________________________________________ Inspirationalwise- "The Power of One"...I love that movie and am totally against racism and segregation, "The Passion of the Christ"...One of the best movies ever made yet not one you wanna watch on a regular basis, "Hotel Rwanda"...amazing how we let atrocities like this still take place in our modern society, "Glory Road"...TexasWestern!, "Do the Right Thing" ...Spike Lee knows how to set it off, and we still haven't learned, will we ever?____________________________________________________Ent ertainmentwise- "Braveheart".... this one could go in either category I have here... one of the best movies ever, "Tombstone", "Lord of the Rings"x3, "Snatch", "Old School", "Anchorman", "The 40 Year Old Virgin", "Full Metal Jacket", "Star Wars" the original trilogy, the "Indiana Jones" trilogy, "Top Gun", "Gladiator", "Saving Private Ryan", "Cars", "IceAge 2: The Meltdown",
"IceAge", "Monsters Inc."... good memories go along w/this one, "The Lion King", "The Man in the Moon", "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"...I said it...I got a sensitive side, "Fallen", "Enemy at the Gates", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "Dazed and Confused", "Dumb and Dumber", "Office Space", "GoodFellas", "Boondock Saints"... Veritas, Aequitas... NWK, Ivy, Toby, OxyC... nuff said, "Fight Club", "City of God", "Three Kings", "Friday", "The Goonies", "Reservoir Dogs", "The Usual Suspects", "Lucky Number Slevin", plus sooo many more________I really liked "V for Vendetta"... reminded me about how corrupt and twisted the media, politicians, and governments can be, even when it may appear that they are "the good guys". This movie just may start a revolution someday.

Television:

It's all about the "Prison Break", if you don't know, then you better find out soon! The first season is out on DVD... I haven't watched an actual episode on TV though cause I'm not much of a TV watcher any more... learned it leads to a lot of wasted time and wasted life. Used to watch the news every night(among a bunch of shows), gosh those were the depressing years, was up to date on my current events as portrayed by the mass media but I had a lot darker outlook on life._______________________________________________________ __________________________________When I do watch TV lately it's usually sports... particularly FOOTBALL, and college basketball is pretty sweet. Sportscenter is a staple... try to watch it a lil everyday, rarely happens. As for other TV... "House" seems to interest me a lot when I have the time to watch, I liked "Deadwood" on HBO, "Lost" captured my attention back at it's start, "Seinfeld" was classic, sometimes I can get caught up in a variety of Mtv shows such as "Viva La Bam","Pimp My Ride", and "Punk'd". Ima fan of "Family Guy" and "South Park" but I couldn't tell ya anything about the last couple seasons. I guess I tend to watch the most interesting thing I land on when flipping through the channels. It might be "Dog the Bounty Hunter", though I really only enjoyed watching it with one person. Sometimes I even end up on Univision and try to figure out what they are saying...."Rebelde" seems interesting. The History Channel and Discovery Channel can have dece stuff on at times. Oh yeah... and this guy...

Books:

The Bible, Jesus Freaks, The Purpose Driven Life, The Five People You Meet In Heaven, Where the Red Fern Grows, Lord of the Flies, To Kill A Mockingbird, Great Expectations(Dickens wrote a lot of good stuff), The Odyssey, Animal Farm, Of Mice and Men, Cat's Cradle, Timequake, Slaughterhouse-Five, God Bless You... Mr. Rosewater(I like Vonnegut, if you din't notice), The Catcher in the Rye, A Separate Peace, The Count of Monte Cristo, Huck Finn, Robin Hood, The Green Mile, LOTR The Two Towers... more, I'm sure.

Heroes:

Jesus Christo, Paul the Apostle, Maya Angelou, Muhammad Ali(aka Cassius Clay), Michael Jordan, Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, & Dr. Steven Ash DDS.
