I've never really stepped back and taken the time to understand who I am. I have an idea of where I've been, what I used to be, but never looked myself straight in the eye and asked questions. I really don't see a point in knowing.
Even after re-writing my profile, I'm still not very good at describing myself. I am, however, able to describe my major interests a bit further in order to brighten things by a different candle.
Art has never been an academic focus of mine, but I do tend to enjoy pouring my thoughts into margins on notebook paper, usually in the form of sketches. Graphic design is also pretty cool. It was rather spontaneous, but somewhere down the line an affinity for typography developed. I think I'd like to sit down and create a really unique font sometime, but I'm not sure when I'll get any revolutionary ideas...
Music is also one of my interests. I've been practicing the piano for a while and my sightreading is improving, but I'm still just a novice. I know how to play the clarinet... but I rarely pick it up. It really seems to be one of those instruments that fits better in an ensemble. I never felt cool jamming out tunes on my clarinet in my practicing years.
Acrobatics. I seemed to sacrifice most of my acrobatic time for practicing music lately. I used to play a little bit of capoeira while I had the time too. I really want to finish learning how to gainer and butterfly twist (60% and 75% respectively). A little bit of parkour here and there to train my vision and ability. Lately, I've not really been demanding much participation from myself.
Videogames. I really don't know where to start. This would certainly be one of the greatest influences of my life. All of the different worlds that people have created are rather interesting. It is like a collective consciousness, as they all are interconnected through the influence of their roots. There are plenty of games that tend to look like one another, but I really enjoy seeing the different styles used to make games of the same genre. Art, music, and gameplay are the three variables that hold practically every combination of videogame to be known by mankind. The environment is set with both the music and the graphics of a game and basically set the stage of the dream while gameplay is how the player is able to pull the dream and shape it by their fingers. I see it as a chance to dream and experience other people's dreams while I remain conscious. It is without a doubt that I can say videogames are my literature of preference.
I'm sure if you look around enough, you'll be able to find what you need to draw a conclusion about me (if you really feel like you need to do some preparation). Draw whatever you want. If you show it to me, I may even give you a pretty penny.
