Fear is the worst enemy. Peace is balance.

About Me

I guess this is where I go off and compose a list about my good qualities and describe myself in order to boost my ego. Meh...I'd rather not do that. If someone would really want to know about me, they'd have to ask the people who know me rather than have me describe myself and that's difficult in itself and it probably won't happen that way. No one will describe how they really are behind closed doors. So on that note, I'll leave it at this: In the end..I'm me.

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

My Interests

Music, writing, reading, metaphysics, Eastern philosophy, different cultures, meditation...I try to keep an open mind on stuff.

Television:

I really don't watch a lot of it...I might catch a game every once in awhile or catch something else to make me laugh. Otherwise, it's usually off or its background noise.
