But I inspire ideological metamorphosis
Stop talking shit or I'll make your existence a memory
So you can have me frozen cryogenically for centuries
But I'll break the ice if anyone on the planet mentions me
I'll burn a hypocritical flag intentionally
Explosive revolutionary
Chemistry's my destiny
Jesus Christ is the only one fully worthy of praise
...besides, we can't all be heroes, somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.I like to break out in random dance, preferably the robot.
I'm a darling only on the days that end with y.
I love people.
I enjoy a nice time by the fire listening to either hollywood undead or "colt 45" by afroman.
A good portion of my life is spent either outside tearing it up on my razor scooter, or outside yelling obnoxious things, such as,"SUCK IT " to innocent bystanders hoping and praying that they feel awkward.
I enjoy a nice jubilee/jamboree from time to time.
My life is full of laughing at people and cursing at grandmas.
If your in NEW YORK in 10 years ring me up becuase ill be starring in the biggest broadway show, ever.
unorganized religions annoy me.
I like to shout random numbers in a bank when people are doing mental math.
I construct elaborate drawings using inky pens that are out of ink.
I wear velcro shoes to show my excitment for the world.
I love fashion and I wear what I want.
I add a lot of inflection to the end of my sentences, producing awkward silences with the impression that I will break into song any moment, i usually do.
I never disregard people.
I say "SUCK IT" more then Joanie loves Chachie.
I get by on vitamin water and laughter.
I tend not to lessen myself to the stupidity of the modern days, but hey everyone has their moments.
I can get myself out of any situation, I will make you laugh
and I will go on an adventure with you
I am Vanessa Lynn Garcia, and its time to recognizlife as I know it:

I am Vanessa Lynn Garcia, and its time to recognize."Have I told you about the tension of opposites?" he says.
The tension of oposites?
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else.
Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
A tenstion of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band.
And most of us live somewhere in the middle."
Sounds like a westling match, I say.
"A wrestling match." He laughs. "Yes, you could describe life that way."
So which side wins, I ask?
"Which side wins?"
He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.
"Love wins. Love always wins.

I'd Like to Meet:
nice people that enjoy great music.
I'd Rather Not Meet:
sketchy people that are fake and have no class, and recent studies show, that is too much to ask for.We all have our "101 Things" lists. This one is mine.
I have witnessed countless numbers of life crisis's from people who have found themselves wishing that they could have done more, seen more, and been more.
As I watch friends and sometimes even family go through these points in their lives, it has been hard not to reflect upon my own.
What do I want to do?
Where do I want to go?
What matters to me?
As I sympathetically sit on the edge of a best friend's bed, or commiserate across a stilted table at a swarming coffee shop, the only words which ever resound amidst the emblazoned empathy of my current state of mind are, "Not me, not ever."Some goals are self-less, some goals are very selfish. Some are smaller than the speck of sleet you just wiped from your eye; others are as large as the Great Pyramid of Giza. Some will change the world, while others will only change you.One of my favorite sayings has always been, "Man plans, God laughs." This is fitting, seeing as I am not, in any context, a planner. I'm a "grab –life-by-the horns", "float- up-stream", "do -it –yourself", "see -what -happens" kind of person. If you were to ask me right now, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I would either salvage my latest get-rich-quick scheme, or laugh in your face for asking the most ridiculous thing from a disorganized person like myself: a plan.I won't stoop down as low to admit that these are my actual goals,
and they might be a little cliché,but by God these are my dreams-
as absurd, grotesque, abstract, and time-consuming as some of them may be.They might be selfish, they might be small, and they might not change the world,but they will change me.*not in any particular order
