About Me

One day as I was exploring a cave in the Ryukyu islands, I came across a small shrine surrounded by melted candles. It wasn't fancy or covered with ornate reliefs, it was very plain and judging by it's weathered appearance, very old. As I looked upon the simple ancient structure my mind began to fully comprehend what I was looking at. I realized that I was looking at a place of reverence; someone long ago cared enough to toil and sweat to build this thing. For what or who; some ancient Japanese god? I don't know, but the point is that it still stood to that day in the hopes that someone would realize its importance. I chuckled to myself for at the time I thought that the idea was amusing; the little thing had failed and no one cared about it anymore. It was sad, I thought, that this monument built to respect and worship, is now decayed and worthless. I noticed a small bit of wick embedded in the fat of what was left of a thick candle, so I dug in and pulled it upright. It took a while, but I finally managed to light it with my Zippo. Light danced off the caves jagged walls with a mellow warm orange glow. The little tongue didn't last but a few minutes, yet during that time the light it cast on the little shrine seemed to give it life; life it hadn't breathed in a long time. Before the flicker died I pulled out my last Lucky Strike and lit it with the dying flame. I took a long drag as the tiny wink vanished and a skinny snake of smoke rose in the shadow of the now lifeless shrine. As I reflected on the life of the shrine, my thoughts trailed to my life, and then to all life. This seemingly meaningless occurrence seemed to have triggered a breakthrough switch in my mind to where I could see all things clearer; things began to make sense and all the cosmological mysteries seemed solved. I rode a wave of enlightenment on the surfboard of cognitive clarity. The meaning of life was in my grasp when I realized I could really go for some pizza. Then I was ecstatic to remember, that I still had some leftover in the fridge from the night before. I was sixteen then and foolish. I gave up the mysteries of the universe for some cold pizza, but I think if I had a chance to do it over again, I'd still choose the pizza; I realize now that enjoying a good pizza is integral to life's meaning. Without the joy of pizza, what does life mean anyway?

My Interests

I love to laugh and explore things. I wonder if lucid dreams are real or just some con. Every time I tried looking it up on the web, some dude claims to have the secret method to experience lucid dreams and you can have it too with so many payment of whatever. Sure, I can play that game too buddy. Yeah, of course I have lucid dreams; have'em all the time. Why, just the other night I flew over Mt. Everest, robbed Oprah, and played Rock'em Sock'em Robots with Abraham Lincoln. I wish.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone, I don't care if you smell like cheese and you think your the ruler of the United Kingdom of America, let's strike up a conversation and go crazy; apparently you're already there.

Music:

Good music comes from deep down in the soul. I like to listen to music that I can relax to and enjoy; something that either is easy to meditate to or hilarious. What specifically does that include? Nothing specific, but anything I like when I hear it.Eleven Saints

Movies:

I'll give most movies a chance, but nine out of ten times they let me down. What happened to classics?

Television:

Prank gone horribly wrong

Books:

I love reading; even though it's unpopular and deemed boring by most adults my age and vitualy all the youth in America, the enlightenment and intrigue a good book can unlock in an individual is only rivaled by music; in that the two open a world of imagination and expression that is often repressed by industrialized societies. A person needs to experience a good book that never gives them the satisfaction of being content to set it down before they finish it. They need to set their minds open and free instead of confining them to only a box or a big screen. Sure movies are fine but they're restricted to what is shown; a good book doesn't allow your mind to be lazy and be fed from a high-chair, although its nice to do so on occasion, it compells you to fill in the gaps and by doing so expand your world and connect with someone that may have lived centuries before you were even born.

Heroes:

My heroes are the selfless individuals of this world who actually care about the welfare of others. Those individuals on this planet who sacrifice their time, sweat, and blood to make this world a better place. Heroes that spread the love and stop the hatred. Those that give a damn and actually do some good for the suffering starving innocent children of this world. Oh, ya and Batman.

Today was a good day; filled with laughter and fulfilment. It was the type of day that just felt good. I was care-free and jovial just for the sake of being so. I have no real reason, nothing impartic...
