I am here for Friends

About Me

well, i am someone who tries to work towards the goal of being the best possible person he can be. i work on training my mind using the methods taught by Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. i think that i am a good person and i am very self-aware for someone of my age. i try to be there for everyone in my life in the best way i possibly can. i enjoy questioning reality, myself, and religion, including my own. be well in peace!

My Interests

wow, where to start.... well, i love travel and languages. i also love experiencing life and all that it has to offer. im a very simple guy, i guess one could say.

I'd like to meet:

i want to meet interesting people with interesting lives, however they have to be drama free and have positive personalities. i only allow positive people into my life.

Music:

i enjoy listening to anything that catches my interest and lifts my spirits. i can listen to anything that has a message, but for some reason, most music that is put out these days doesnt say anything to the listener, so i typically only listen to music from the 60's-90's.

Movies:

i enjoy all types of movies. however, i really enjoy japanese horror movies. i also love documentaries and movies that expand my mind.

Books:

i have a library of books about buddhism and meditation. i also love yoga and expanding my body as well. i just really enjoy reading and anything can pretty much catch my interest.

Heroes:

well, i guess my biggest heroes would have to be my mother and grand-father. my mom has always been there for me and i would die for her. and as far as my grand-father goes, hes the one person that i want to be like. if i can eventually be 1/10 of the man he was, i will consider myself very lucky. he was the best man i have ever known and i miss him so much.
