Nature Is The Only Mother That Wont Clean Up After You...

About Me

-Namasté-
I honor the place in you
In which the entire universe dwells.
I honor the place in you
Which is of Love, of Truth, of Light, of Peace.
When you are in that place in you,
And I am in the place with me,
We are ONE.
I love my sisters more than anything else.
“The main difference between us, Buddhism and other philosophies, is that we do not accept the notion of a living god, but rather that we are responsible for our future happiness.”
-Tenzin Gyatso
Honesty is HUGE with me. I try to live my life completely honest no matter what. I'd rather be upset over the truth, than happy because of a lie.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
I love my Bothell Boys.
There are none better than mine. Never will I take them, or their friendship for granted.
My Awesome Triforce. Bitches Be BAMFS
The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough, or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes.
-Pema Chodron
I am zen. I am everything, and I am nothing. I exist, and I am here.
This is Blblblbl
He will listen to you bitch when no one else wants to hear it. He will not judge you, nor tell you something you don't want to hear. Just give him a chance. The best listener you'll ever meet.

My Interests

I chose to live my life serendipitously.

"We can reject everything else: religion, ideology, all received wisdom. But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion.... This, then, is my true religion, my simple faith. In this sense, there is no need for temple or church, for mosque or synagogue, no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine or dogma. Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple. The doctrine is compassion. Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity, no matter who or what they are: ultimately these are all we need. So long as we practice these in our daily lives, then no matter if we are learned or unlearned, whether we believe in Buddha or God, or follow some other religion or none at all, as long as we have compassion for others and conduct ourselves with restraint out of a sense of responsibility, there is no doubt we will be happy."
-Tenzin Gyatso

My house parties have been described as epic, but really I just invite the right people...

There Will Always Be A Neglected Raver Living In Me. Shigh Whiskey Is My Alter Ego

Being Spoken To In Foreign Languages, And Eating Food With Chopsticks... :D

I like going places only to take something new with me to each place I go.

To Feel Without Touching Is To Know Without Being Told

One day I WILL own a Porsche Gemballa Mirage GT.

"The most heinous and the most cruel crimes of which history has record have been committed under the cover of religion or equally noble motives." -Mohandas K Gandhi-

I prefer to fall asleep cuddling...

I Wont Be Truly Satisfied With Life Until I Have Traveled To The Philippines And Thailand. I Have An Innate Feeling That I Need To Go There, And I Will Not Pacify That For The Likes Of Anyone Or Anything."
