Im interested in Personal growth.. the way we learn things from day to day and what triggers new thoughts and rationalizations.
Im interested in finding the proper view of the Big Picture.
find what brings you happiness.
find what brings you serenity.
and smile.
than look for more.
thats my philosophy.
My brother and my role model.
his daughter. my princess.
Paulie, my brother-like cousin. I miss this goon.
beamer won a prize!!
thats my cousin PJ... i was the best man at his wedding.. That meant a lot to me. He would punch every bee in the face....
and hes damn sexy in a tux.
I like to take part in 'hobbies' that do either one of two extremes... That either engulf my mind in all thats around me, all that is going on in my life.... things that are creative and expressive. That make me concentrate on people, events, feelings, personal growth, or they do the extreme opposite... they help me get away from just about all of that.... things that make me concentrate on only what im doing and forget everything else.
Lots of Billiards.
Lots of Golf.
Building and Riding BMX and ATB/Mountain Bikes... destroying them on the streets or in the woods of wherever I am. Me, two weels and the earth is a beautiful combination.... its one of the only places i have found happiness outside of this crazy word.
I love all sorts of fine art including Comic books and Graphic Novels. Those who have a problem calling graphic novels art need to look up Alex Ross.
The abstract work the likes of men like Wassily Kandinsky
And men who knew how to truly capture emotion in a moment like Rodin.
Drawing, Painting, Photography.. I love taking photographs for people who need good photos but cant afford to pay a pro... its a hobby for me and i love doing it... so it helps everyone. By all means let me know if you need my service!
(thats Espada from NY. www.myspace.com/espada check em out)
It's cheeseman!!!
I'm an aspiring young standup comic. Performing and enjoying endless Standup Comedy. Standup is the purest of all expressionistic performance. Theres nothing to hide behind. Its just you. and them. You use only your own body and words to create an experience for a room full of people. There is nothing more exhiliarating than that.
i enjoyed getting pj the dukes. youre welcome kira.
brat.
Music and Movies and all thats creative and enjoyable. Movies are my drug. Im addicted. the arts of Acting. Directing. all that is involved with making an incredible movie whether high budget George Lucas fims or raggidy $2000 indy films..... its all incredible to me. Youll see me up on that screen one day. I assure you.... i mean... ive already got paparazzi spying on me...
I also enjoy being absolutely rediculous.
and spending time with people who are absolutely rediculous.
and lets not forget..... Video Games. Video games are a brilliant escape from things. Games that would make great movies are amazing... I love games that put you in the shoes of a remarkable character with depth. Metal Gear Solid... greatest series ever. Halo... Halo 2... xbox live anyone??? find me "Jake Draven"
George Bellows
I wanna meet dogs cooler than these 3......
too bad none exist.
id like to meet a few people who are mentally grounded. I wanna meet some real people who are just who they are. People who dont try too hard. people who ROCK!
more people like my cousin paul. cause hes stupendous.
I want to meet people who gives me the same feeling that these places do....
I would like to meet people who know themselves.
I would like to meet all the men responsible for the creation of the characters I draw day to day.
Give it all away and tomorrow you'll pray for yesterday. People use words like "soul mate" and "one and only" God says "Right Man/Woman" Everyone has their own word or for it... For some people it lasts a day or two... maybe a week, months... years. Some people will wear it forever like a scar on skin.... others will spend forever searching for it... Will You?
