About Me

I'm beginning to be happy again....(or, not. Turns out, I spoke too soon)
I tore the pictures up and went a different way...
The scars I have tell me that life is real. I'm a dreamer. you may not understand me even after all these years because I don't. I've been told by more than one person that i can't expect others to love me if i don't love myself.
Don't let the cross fool you, I have no interest in organized religion.
I've heard this saying twice in recent years, so there has to be something to it, "It helps to be sad so that we can appreciate what it means to be happy."
I want to buy the world a coke. i enjoy burgers, fried chicken, peanut m&m's, Hennessey and vanilla coke.
This is the best stuff I've read in quite a while, and I suggest you do it too.
Here's a quote for you all: "Only when the last tree has died, and the last river has been poisoned, and the last fish has been caught... will we realize that we cannot eat money." - Cree saying.
You should really think about that because us and our children are going to be the ones living with that, not the politicians in office lining their pockets. They'll be dead by then and we'll have to deal with the evil they made while getting rich at our expense. Democracy is for the people huh? Yeah right.
You should watch this video. It's from a person in this world named MadV. He started a simple movement to say something in a short video. It's quite interesting... here's his
Yes, these are all my drawings unless otherwise noted...
This is just bad ass...

My Interests

seeking.
living.
learning to love. which i'm failing at.
being.
reading.
writing.
the world.
the human condition.
For some terribly well written computer articles I'd suggest this site for you to check out.
For amazing art protecting your iPod and laptop from the elements and jealous PC nuts go go here. Some people just have talent man.
Here's my new tattoo artist. I suggest her as well since she did a hell of a job. Even after I made an ass of myself with an incredibly ignorant and stupid comment.

I'd like to meet:

somebody that will get me.
artists. to borrow from a friend, renegades. those who seek. creators.
a beautiful hippie with a nerdy streak, rimmed glasses, mismatching clothes, tattoos, and some wisdom.

Music:

RADIOHEAD - ReckonerBecause, it's the best song of the year... ..

a lot, here's some.

Movies:

a bunch

Television:

The Office and 30 Rock, everything else is brain rot and pointless.

Books:

hip hop america, christ in concrete, sun also rises, othello, umbertina, interview with the vampire, picture of dorian gray, the stranger, covenant with the vampire, king of the world, fast food nation, credibility, strange fruit, othello, life of pi, some pretty interesting business books too. Just finished Lolita, starting on I Ching, then maybe move into something by Gore Vidal.

Heroes:

i've never thought of this, but i suppose my grandparents would be a couple. they raised me more than my mom did when they didn't really have to. i think they get the credit for even making me want to go to college and be more successful. I think that is where I got my drive from, not just from being alone for most of my life.

My Blog

From the web...

Right and Wrong. Good and Bad.

The idea of what is right or wrong, good or bad is as old as rational thought. The ideas of those societal constructions are drilled into as children and for the most part they stay with us for the re...

random things ive been thinking about

Besides the odd little Friday night I had, things have been a bit low-key. Nothing too major with me, but, that's not to say it's been all work-sleep-eat every day.-- I've been a dream machine all of ...

Here, to balance out the reflection of the evening, some laughter and cuteness...Flip a couple words around and now many, many people can see just how stupid they sound when the words are flipped back...

re: myself

I think I’ve crossed the threshold into goodness once again. I’d been a bit lost. I’d been a bit un-Shawn. But, I imagine that it’s in the past now and I can move forward again...
