About Me

Assume all you want about me, you probably won't get it right.
I'm never content with knowledge. I have an insatiable thirst for knowing more and more. I'm searching for higher awareness, and desperately seeking wisdom within myself and in others.
I suck at picking up on little signals more than most guys. If you're trying to get something across, be blunt and unambiguous. I can take it.
I'm horribly uncomfortable with the world as it is. There are so many things wrong that I'm overwhelmed with finding out where to start. That is not to say that I've given up; I doubt I will ever lose the drive to change things.
I've been told that my overruling personality trait is genuine-ness. I agree, and thanks to everyone who helped me realize it.
I finally figured out what I'm doing with my life... I'm studying Engineering at College of DuPage, and I'm looking at going to UIUC whenever that's done...
I have one tattoo... look at the background. It's on my left shoulder blade. I want more.
I've always scored as ENTP on the Meyers-Briggs Typology test. See which one you are here and here .
Lyrics/Quotes that really hit me:
"Escuchame senorita, if you don't respect yourself
Don't expect respect from anyone else
Don't expect un hombre to support you with wealth
Go to college and be successful, do it for delft
Nunca vas a ser shit without knowledge your self
Mamis with cultural ineptitude are bad for your health
That's the type of mujer that I put back on the shelf
And go back to the pack crowd to look for somebody else"-
"Niggas talk about change and working within the system to achieve that. The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system; it's the system that will eventually change you. There is usually nothing wrong with compromise in a situation, but compromising yourself in a situation is another story completely, and I have seen this happen long enough in the few years that I've been alive to know that it's a serious problem."-
Immortal Technique
"Anyone who appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Anyone who can't take care of himself without that law is both. For wounded man will say to his assailant, 'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven.' Such is the rule of honor."-
Lamb of God

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I don't wear a mask, so you can take off yours. Fake people are not welcome, and neither are those with little respect for themselves and others.

I'm sick of meeting seemingly great people that turn out to be common scum. Don't waste your time if you're disloyal in any way; mistakes can be forgiven, but only if you're immediately forthcoming with the truth. Waste my time with that shit, and you'll be left in the cold without a blanket.

Intelligence is a plus, but remember that without an open mind, intelligence is a dull sword and a weak shield. Only idiots never change there minds.

Shut the fuck up and listen sometimes. If you've got a problem with listening, I won't listen to you.

Whether you succeed or fail, if you try to manipulate me, you'll be the one in pain.

I'm generally at least tolerant of any personality trait, with a few exceptions. I despise ignorance, cowardice, disloyalty, and disrespect, so if you have a propensity for those things, fuck right the hell off.

Don't be petty. Don't play games with me, I'll break all the rules. You might win, but you'll celebrate alone.

Figure out what actually matters, and don't worry about the rest. If you can't care for yourself, don't expect me or anyone else to care for you.

You could be the hottest chick or the coolest dude on the planet, but I'll still spit in your face if that's all you have. Extremes in any situation are almost always the road to failure. If you can count your good qualities on one hand, don't waste my time.

And message me to introduce yourself before adding me, it's common courtesy.
