Chivalry Is Not Dead

UNDER CONSTANT REVISION IS THE POEM THAT I BE

" I would not exchange the laughter of my heart for the fortunes of the multitudes; nor would I be content with converting my tears, invited by my agonized self, into calm. It is my fervent hope that my whole life on this earth will ever be tears and laughter. Tears that purify my heart and reveal to me the secret of life and its mystery. Laughter that brings me closer to my fellow men; Tears with which I join the broken-hearted, Laughter that symbolizes joy over my very existence."

About me…well I like to think that I am ever-changing, always growing. Which in part is the reason I am revamping this section. Yet when faced with this simple descriptive task, I honestly don’t think there is all too much exciting to tell. But here are the facts; I was born in Tucson, Arizona. Raised there until I was twenty-one…I was a bit of a trouble finder, notice I did not say trouble maker…but damn was I good at finding it. At that point of my life I knew I needed a change and moved up to Seattle, Washington. I lived in Seattle off and on until March of 2004. Odd I look back on it and it feels like just yesterday and forever ago all at once that I was back on Capital hill in the 206. Anyway, I moved to Tempe, stayed there a while and just recently moved out here to Goodyear to help take care of my mom, who is now going through her third fight with cancer. Those are the facts…as for some inner detail, I am an adopted child, and no I do not want to find my birthmother. I consider myself not only a bit of an outsider, but also a romantic, and lover of life’s little beauties. I love watching people. I was a bit of an artist growing up but have since picked up on writing as my art. I am far from a great writer but in time I hope that will change. I am a Gemini and fit the description to the letter. I am an avid golfer…it’s ridiculous how much I love golfing. I started playing two years ago and just love the game. I like the concept of driving towards an unattainable perfection.

I have five heroes in my life, my Nana and Tata, my mother and father, who is also my best friend, and my birthmother. I am a lover of many things...and am blessed to still be in contact with a lot of the people that have made me who I am today. I love my life and all the pain and happiness that come along my days here. I love...that's something about me, I love like an infant, I think we all should love true like a child loves. Without judgments or worries about the broken heart that may lay right around the corner. That's how I love, if I didn't I would be cheating me...and I will never cheat me. I did that too much already in my life.

"I cry a lot, but admit to it. Loving live now, but I been through it"

"if you follow a light down a dark path, that path could lead anywhere...eventually leading to a dark end. If you are the light, you are the path"

Those two quotes and the one at the top of this have always been caught in the back of my head. And all pertain to the way I want to lead my life. I was homeless in my late teens, I have lost a more than a couple friends in my life to drugs and that lifestyle...and have hurt people before...broken hearts without thinking, hurt feelings without caring. And for that I am ashamed.

But also thankful, thankful that I have learned from those years and am no longer that boy. I now want to learn something new everyday, laugh louder every day, and be as passionate as I can be to the one's I hold close to my heart everyday...some people may see my signs of kindness as weak...and I do not care.

And that's just a little bit about me.

One Love, Chris

AIN'T LOOKING FO' NO TROUBLE...BUT IF YOU TROUBLE TROUBLE...WE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU DOUBLE!!!

From Wonderful friends:

my weakness is that I care too much...

You are one of the most gentle, forgiving and beautiful souls I've ever known.

This is marked FRAGILEorHandle with Care

Faith is believing what you dont see. Hope is anticipating good things. Trust is knowing youll do the right thing. Grace is always accepting. Love is unconditionally forgiving.

I think you are amazing, Chris. Such a genuine and incredably beautiful soul. I am grateful and thankful that I know you and have you in my life. If you ever change, I'll come kick your ass, Beaner. Be at peace always - and for the kind heart being a weakness.. it is never a weakness and never an excuse. Hugs hun.The Squaw

A wise man once said..."Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke"

My way of life is with a thought, my pad and a pen, I am an open book with just a few of the pages ripped out, and the next time I give you something to ponder, try not to give me a blank stare in return.
