About Me

..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
I'm on fire baybee!
My goal in life is for my energy to radiate like the noon sun throughout the world. I want everyone I meet and everything I touch to be affected in this way.
My profile says I'm in a relationship...with music and dance. Drum and bass, dubstep, garage, grime, glitch hop, belly dance, bhangra, tahiti ori, always there for me, always listening and always satisfies. I have yet to find someone who can even come close.
things I love:
my brother (check out his MySpace, he's rad)
my grandmother (still trying to convince her to get a MySpace)
blue skies
sunny days
light raindrops on my face
world religions
buddhist thought
biblical stories
love itself
drum and bass
darkstep
uk garage
grimey beats
dope flows
1xtra
mixing sweet sweet records
summer berries
papayas (non-GMO of course)
cracking bullwhips
fire performance
bellydance
tahiti ori
bhangra
turkish pop music
following your intuition
celibacy
clarity of thought
philosophy
psychology
aquatic science
sparkles!
you!
things I dislike on a massive scale:
liars in blue uniforms
sociopaths (see above)
manipulators
cheaters
dishonesty
lack of reverence for those before us
laziness
people without backbone
people who don't think
stupid people in general
spinelessness
people who take advantage of the voiceless and the weak
people who take shit from all of the types listed above
I speak for the women who cannot speak for themselves.
You will never squish my voice or my outrage. To do that you will have to kill me. Even then it will still live on.
I believe in the seven blunders of the world.
Mahatma Ghandi's seven blunders of the world:
1. wealth without work
2. pleasure without conscience
3. knowledge without character
4. commerce without morality
5. science without humanity
6. worship without sacrifice
7. politics without principle
Check out the Four Noble Truths while you're at it:
1. There is suffering
2. Craving is the cause of suffering
3. There is cessation of suffering
4. The way to end suffering is the eightfold path
The Eightfold Path:
1. right view
2. right intention
3. right speech
4. right action
5. right livelihood
6. right effort
7. right mindfulness
8. right concentration
There are four things I can't live without:
1. proteins
2. lipids
3. carbohydrates
4. nucleic acids
"To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all." -- Helen Rowland
"God made woman beautiful and foolish; beautiful, that man might love her; and foolish, that she might love him." -- Unknown
"How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being." -- Oscar Wilde
"The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything." -- Friedrich Nietzsche
"Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself." -- Oscar Wilde
"A riot is the language of the unheard." - Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., (1929-1968)
"History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people." — Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr
"Desires achieved increase thirst like salt water." -- Milarepa
I believe... -- that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
-- that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
-- that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
-- that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
-- that it's taken me a long time to become the person I want to be.
-- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
-- that you can keep going long after you can't.
-- that we are responsible for what we do no matter how we feel.
-- that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
-- that heroes are those people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
-- that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
-- that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
-- that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
-- that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
-- that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
-- that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
-- that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
-- that just because two people argue it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue it doesn't mean that they do.
-- that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
-- that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
-- that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
-- that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
-- that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
-- that people you care about the most in life are taken from you too soon.
-- Art Richter

Create your own visitor map!

People that live present, change the future and think big! I want to meet other like minded geniuses and bitchin babes that get shit done!

I also love checking out the amazing producers here on MySpace. If you make Jungle / Drum and Bass, Grime, 2-Step, 4x4, any UK Garage, Chicago House, Detroit Techno, Gabber, Breakcore, Happy Hardcore, Raggacore, R&B or anything with hard beats you need to hit me up pronto.

I am about five pages behind in adding people. If it takes me a month to add you, I'm not ignoring you. If you're a producer or musician I actually listen to all your tunes!

I am also not going to add you just because you like my face / waist / body / whatever! Come on y'all, try to keep it on the deep.

If you are lying scumbag or a sociopath it is only fitting I would not like to meet you. Be scared of me if you are such a person.

Clark Hagemann is a sociopath and a pathological liar. I was unfortunate enough to date Clark Hagemann for four months and fall victim to a whole host of his lies. Clark Hagemann said he was divorced for four years when he was married. He said he had a Master's Degree in Engineering when he had a Bachelor's in Art which doesn't even matter. He said his wife cheated on him which is why they got divorced. And a trillion others. Ladies, if you meet this man run like hell! Clark Hagemann is married! For keeping him his wife is a stupid ass too!

Read up on my Don't Date Him Girl entry in his honor!
Wow don't date this Clark Hagemann guy mmkay?
