About Me

Everyone at work calls me tater, it's a long story, you can ask if ya really want to know. Real name is Jon. I love my cat!This is the new part of my info, and I am trying to be as open and true as possible cuz I realized that so many people disguise themselves on here, and I'm not trying to: I truly have compassion for all human beings, I try not to allow hate anywhere in my life, I try to love all people yet I can lose my temper with people who seem to not care about others, I am caring, I am shy until you talk to me, then I usually have alot to say about everything, I tend to take things personally though I am working on this with all of my strength, I believe in God and this is the reason for how I treat others, I don't necessarily believe in organized religion and I don't talk about my beliefs - I think everyone has the right to believe what they want and it's not my place to tell them otherwise, but if you ever ask me why I think things are the way I think they are - I have theories that make sense to me, I think I think too much, I've been told this is true, for this reason I'm terrified of anyone thinking i'm dumb or ignorant because I usually play myself off as being laid back and care free, and I only get deep when I'm around the right people, sometimes I drink too much but i'm not proud of it - it's something I'd like to lessen in my life, I've experimented with other things because I believe it is up to my judgment (not my government's) to figure out why certain chemicals and plants occur in God's nature. I am more and more convinced that this is not the answer, but serves some purpose in the grand scheme of things, no I don't think we will ever know truly what the grand scheme of things is, my cat is one of my best friends - although a little bastard at times he keeps me sane - we've been through the same life and the same pain for a few years now, I've been hurt in the past and keep my self closed up for this reason, I am working on this with all my strength, I'm scared to be alone for the rest of my life, but i'm content being free in all that I do and have become very good at living 100% on my own, and am a little scared to change that, I am known to be nice (though irritable at times), quiet, mysterious (so i've been told), silly, goofy, funny, crazy, apparently my voice tones change in crazy ammounts while i'm talking - I find this funny, I am completely uncoordinated when it comes to physical activity, but I can play guitar, and cook and do other stuff that takes coordination with my hands so go figure, I love salad - probably one of my favorite foods, along with mexican, especially fresh salsa with cilantro YUM!!!, I also try to eat healthy cuz i'm way paranoid - about everything, i'm not a vegetarian or vegan but eat that way often, but I really like cheese haha - but I try to limit it cuz it's not that great for you - although calcium is, I love triscuits and hot sauce (srirachia sauce is the greatest condiment on earth), I like high fiber cereals too, I get really excited about the most random stuff haha, I like to hang out and always be doing something, but I need my alone time too, I like to have fun and go to school (college). And for some reason people tend to think that I am nicer than the average guy. But I am a psych major so I allways try to make things better, and in the end probably end up making them worse. I feel like Frasier :) My second major is Philosophy, although it should probably be my first because I like to think alot about life and why things are the way they are... It is my goal to make the meaning of our existence, and love, and pain all a little clearer, if at all possible... I think too much... I used to be fat, like 7 years ago, now everyone says i'm too skinny, go figure - for this reason I used to have a poor self image but I have built myself up with the help of friends around me, I think confidence comes with maturity and self knowledge - and knowing that people like you for who you are... I have finally learned this and that makes me happy, sometimes I think I fall for people who I want to help - like by making them happy when they don't seem to be - I also think this has caused me a lot of pain, sometimes I think about being a marriage consouler because I believe that true love exists but that our complex modern life screws it all up, I think modern society has screwed everything up, I don't necessarily agree with war but I suppose there have been a couple out of the thousands that have been necessary - I think this however is a horrible and completly illogical justification for war, I think love is the most important human emotion and that it can heal all the bad in the world, most the time angry people are too happy in their anger and can't even understand the concept of love - this is the most tragic thing about our existence...Theres so many more things about me but i can't write them all, i'll probably add more later so check back!

Heroes:

" I know one day, all our scars will disappear, like the stars at dawn And all of our pain, will fade away when morning comes And on that day when we look backwards We will see, that everything is changed And all of our trials, will be as milestones on the wayAnd as long as we live, every scar is a bridge to someone's broken heart And there's no greater love, than that one shed his blood for his friendsOn that day all of the scales will swing to set all the wrongs to right All our tears, and all of our fears will take to flight But until then all of our scars will still remain, but we've learned that if we'll Open the wounds and share them then soon they start to heal(As long as we live, we are bridges to someone broken heart There's no greater love, shed your blood for your friends)We must see that every scar is a bridge, and as long as we live We must open up these wounds When some one stands in your shoes and will shed his own blood There's no greater love. we must open up our wounds" - thrice ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------Once again these bitter herbs The perfect compliment to all your cryptic words I nod but don't know what to say, but I know you And I believe you're who you say you are so I..I will follow you, lay down my life I would die for you, this very nightOnce again the bread and wine But it seems the meanings may be deeper still this time And you surprised me when you said I'd fall away, don't you know me I could never be ashamed of you, no I...I've never been this cold, the fire's gravity compels Like planets cling to sol, I feel my orbit start to fail Like moths to flame I come, too close And all my oaths are burned As stars begin to run, all my accusers take their turn And calling curses down, from my lips lies like poison spill And then that awful sound, the sound of prophesy fulfilled And then I met your eyes, and I remember everything And something in me dies, the night that I betrayed my king
