My real (legal) name is Josiah. Bodhi is my Buddhist name. I used to hate Josiah because I was teased by my name in school. But now I'm over the PTSD and I'm beginning to rediscover my name again. ...I don't live on the edge, I've already jumped off the clift! Down, down, down into the void of the unknown adventures I go, where I will land, nobody knows. But that's what makes life an adventure and worth living. No, I'm not braver or more courageous than anyone else, it's just that life events have pushed me to the edge (you know, I'm one of those hard heads who has to learn things the hard way at times) and I've had two choices given to me by the universe; believe that either life is for me and jump into the unknown or believe that life against me and remain stuck in the limited, 4 walled world of constricted medirotracy, souless persuits and heartless survival. If life is for me, then I have a positive future. If life is against me, then I'm in a really fu&ked up situation! How do you know which is true? I've come to the conclusion that if you don't make the plunge, you never really grow up. But you'll never know what the true reality of life is, especialy for you unless you take risks and make those so called "mistakes". If you dont take risks and make "mistakes", then why get out of bed each morning and live? But then, both realities are technicaly true, it's what you decide to believe in, your attitude (conclusion about life and how to relate to it) that creates your reality. ...Let me hit you with this...There are three truths you should remember, and sure enough I forget them all the time too; if you forget everything else that I said in all my rants, remember...1, Reality is subjectve, 2, Life works (you need to know how it works if you want life to work for you) and 3, Your reality is the refection of your attitude... Anyways...Who is Bodhi? Well...Im 50 on the outside and ageless on the inside, I'm an older person NOT an old person. I see 17 year old kids that have depleated their life energy and are 80 inside and out because of negative attitudes and negative living. Age is a delusion. ...I'm paradoxical, sort of a techno-Gaia/redwood tree hugging/psyadelic/herbalist/shamen type, Im a psychic/fantasy astronaut, Im a guru when I'm a disciple, I'm a teacher as I'm a student, I'm a rational adult and I'm still a child full of wonder always fucking with my "rational adult", I'm a seeker, curious and I'm a giver of what I know so far. I dont function too well being told what to do, but Im humble enough to recieve wisdom and knolledge. ...How do I define my sexual preference? You know, I really dont like to make definations because they're too mono-centered and culture-constricted. Human sexuality doesn't always play by our rules. Some may describe me as ''gay", some would say I'm really bi-sexual, some may even go so far as to say I'm simply a pervert, but one thing for sure, I'm definetly not sexphobic! Lets just say, if your going to stick me in a definition anyway, I'm a perverted "whateversexual". I may be not very moral to some because I don't play (or try not to, the world try's so hard to get you to play) the shame and guilt game, but I try as hard as I can to be a very ethical person, BIG difference! ... Im kind of hard to chew on at times, but nutricious and sweet when you take the time to chew. I'm definatly not a neutral person because it keeps away the haters, the judgers, psyco-vampires and the pretentious. I'm str8 up and as real as it can get. I'm someone either you will like or you will not. I live by the motto: "honest living get's honest results". Many people don't want to live honest because they won't like the results. Yeah, I may not make alot of friends and get alot of shouts this way, but I'd rather have one real friend than 10 fake ones... If you want to be my friend, I'll on one hand give you huge heapings of TLC, I'll give you my heart and ears, I'll do my best to come through for you, but on the other hand, sometimes I'll make it a little hard on you. I'll challenge you, I'll make you confront your prejudices and ignorances, I'll encourage you grow and evolve, I'll take you to the edge and ask you to make the jump off the edge with me at times. If your looking for somone who will mind fuck you, play games with you; the types that will always stroke your ego and always tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear, the world is full of superficial and pretentious people out there who will do that for you. If your looking for someone who will keep it real with you, then come on and jump off the edge into the void of unpredictability and read on.... Oh, B.T.W., if you read all of this so far, that probualy means you really want to know me. People who don't would have clicked me off way back there. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to meeting you too! ^ _ ^
