I'm not going to kill you.... but I don't have to save you.

About Me

.. Balance

Oustside Defense

First and foremost! Do me a favor, don't just add me to your friends for sake of having a high number of friends....at least send me a message or something!

My name is Josh.

I won't claim to be anything I am not, instead I'll just work on being everything I can.

I'm a musician, a martial artist, a lover, a thinker, a fighter, and I'd like to think a writer - though I'm not really sure what defines one as a writer, and more. I love to try new things , new ventures, new places , and meet new people . Friends are one of the most important things to me.

I have many thoughts and many sides . I sometimes come off as an asshole or overconfident b/c my words and actions are often blunt. I'm just not into wasting my time and my breath and those things which do not matter...I'd rather focus more on those that do. Though many will say that people as a whole are stupid, I cannot totally disagree, but I like to try to find the good in all.

I’m usually an optimist and always trying to find the good in people or the better sides of a situation. I think that LIFE IS AN AWESOME VENTURE where nothing should be taken for granted…from every morning when you open your eyes to see a new day to when you feel the water of the ocean run between your fingertips. And on the other side of things, I am also drawn to the darker side at times.

I’m a mix of many things into one…and at the same time nothing in one. Like the yin and the yang : opposites that are part of the same. I’m a Libra so if you believe the signs you can say it’s my sense of balance.

Inspiration in life is everywhere. The sun, a crack in the ground, the smile of an old woman. I try to find it wherever I can. I hope that somewhere in the world I can inspire someone else that will do the same for someone else and so on. One spot of inspiration for me (among many) is when I was having a rough time, I saw a bumper sticker that said:

REMEMBER WHO YOU WANTED TO BE
REMEMBER WHO YOU WANTED TO BE
REMEMBER WHO YOU WANTED TO BE
REMEMBER WHO YOU WANTED TO BE
REMEMBER WHO YOU WANTED TO BE
REMEMBER WHO YOU WANTED TO BE

My Interests

My interests: playing music, listening to music, movies, art, photography, video editing, concerts, world religions, martial arts, martial arts, martial arts, acupuncture, philosophy, psychology, friends, death and destruction , life and opportunity , sex (who doesn't?), outdoor stuff, bike riding, rollerblading, sushi, TONS of stuff more and always finding new things and people to venture...

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy good conversation with open-minded and creative people.


Music:

To say "I love music" has become a bit of a clich in today's time...but oh well, I love music . Not just to listen but to play as well. I play the trumpet, guitar, synth, vocals, and I'm wanting to learn drums next.

Music is what can drive a soul , it can make you feel, it can penetrate a being.

As far as what I listen to, I can be listening to Enya one minute then pop in Slipknot the next. I love a variety of music and it's that variety that makes me feel it.

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE!

A few bands I listen to: A Perfect Circle , Alice In Chains, Buckethead , Chimaira, Chevelle , Celldweller, Coal Chamber, Devil Driver, Cold, Crystal Method, Deftones , Delerium, Drain STH, Enya, Filter, Finch, HIM, Ill Nino, Incubus, Jimmy Eat World, Kittie, Korn (when they were good), Linkin Park , Live , Lords of Acid, Lost Prophets , Massive Attack, Ministry, Mindless Self Indulgence, Minus Driver, Mudvayne , NIN , Prodigy , Radiohead, Rage, Sam Cook (didn't see that one coming did ya?), Sarah McLachlan, Sepultura, Stabbing Westward , Sevendust, Soulfly , Simon Says , Slipknot, Silverchair, Smashing Pumpkins, Snot , Staind, Static X, STP, System of a Down, Tool, Trickey, Zombie (preferibly White Zombi), Zeromancer, Rise Against, Boy Sets Fire, Boy Hits Car, Breaking Benjamin, Shadows Fall, Black Eyed Peas, Godsmack, Gorillaz, Fort Minor, KMFDM, Portishead, TOOL ...to name a few
