About Me


I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU MY MOST RECENT CREATION ENTITLED: "THE CALMING SOUNDS OF THE STORM". THESE ARE THE PERFECT SONGS TO RELAX TO. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE SWEET SOUNDS OF SWEET MUSIC.
THE CALMING SOUNDS OF THE STORM
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.
Jean-Paul Sartre
My Philosophy on Life
I have many philosophies on life or of certain things. But, the core philosophy that keeps me going in life is the belief of trying to perfect myself in many ways. I believe there are six main areas in which people can improve themselves in everyday life. They are physically, socially, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and improving the environment. I think all of these things improve our quality of life and health as well.
How I think someone can improve them self physically is having an active life style combined with a balanced nutritional diet. Not everyone has the same body type or nutritional needs, so what is right for me may not be right for someone else. There are many diets out there and everyone has the right one for them. Personally, my personally favorite diet is the “Maker’s Diet,” based off a book written by Jordan S. Rubin. This diet consists of mainly organic foods and cold water fish. Improving myself socially is an everyday process as well. How I do this is trying to get along with my family members and friends. I also like to leave good impressions with people I just met as well as respecting other people’s opinions and views. The improvement of the mind (intellectually) is probably my favorite area of the six. I believe in trying to learn something new everyday as well as keeping an open mind to new ideas and beliefs. Learning from one’s mistakes is a great way to improve oneself intellectually. I think we all should keep our minds sharp and alert. As human beings, we are self-aware and all have emotions. So being healthy emotionally is very important. I think to be optimistic about life can make it all the more enjoyable. I don’t think it is healthy to keep anger built up inside or keeping issues inside either. I think it is important to get someone and talk about the issues one might be having to help live a happier life. My spiritual health is extremely important to me as well. I think life is a precious gift and every life form, it being human, plant, insect, etc., has the right to live. I think believing in life after death and in a greater being gives people hope. My last thing to talk about is the improvement of the environment. This is the area in which I need to improve in the most, but I love a challenge. I think there are a lot of little things we all can do to improve our environment. Like recycling our garbage, not wasting energy (like turning off the lights in the house), walking places instead of driving everywhere and car pooling, and protect natural resources.
I could write and talk about these six areas for hours. I think everyone has their own philosophy or philosophies in which they live by. There are many philosophies in which I live by. But, the philosophy of trying to improve myself every day is probably my most important one.

"Supermans Dead"

(Clumsy)
do you worry that you're not liked
how long till you break
you're happy cause you smile
but how much can you fake
an ordinary boy an ordinary name
but ordinary's just not good enough today
alone I'm thinking
why is superman dead
is it in my head
we'll just laugh instead
you worry about the weather and
whether or not you should hate
are you worried about your faith
kneel down and obey
you're happy you're in love
you need someone to hate
an ordinary girl an ordinary waist
but ordinary's just not good enough today
doesn't anybody ever know that the
world's a subway...

END OF THE BEGINNING
It's the end
Here Today
But I will build a new begining
Take some time
Find a place
And I will start my own religion
As the day divides the night
Here we are searching for a sign

I'd like to meet:

Jared Leto

Jared Leto is a great music entertainer as well as an actor. He has been in cool movies such as "American Psycho", "Requiem for a Dream", and "Fight Club". He is the lead singer of "30 Seconds to Mars". This is their new music video entitled "From Yesterday" off of their "Beautiful Lie" CD.

..

Brandon Boyd

Brandon Boyd has been a big influence to me musically. So naturally I want to pay tribute to him and his band Incubus. Incubus is so cool. They are my all time favorite band, along with 30 Seconds to Mars and Finch. I love their live accoustic stuff. Thier song "Clean" live is awsome. This video is called "Make a Move" off of the movie "Stealth". It was not released in any of their albums (that I know of) so I guess they made it just for this movie.
