About Me


There's too much to say but I guess for starters: I am the stone that the builder refused. I am the visual. The inspiration. That made ladies sing the blues. I'm the spark that makes your idea bright. The same spark. That lights the dark. So that you can know your left from your right. I am the ballot in your box. The bullet in the gun. That inner glow. That lets you know. To call your brother son. The story that just begun. The promise of what's to come. And Im'ma remain a soldier. Til' the war is won . I'm working on being the best possible human being I can be. I'm a bit of a smart ass, sometimes without meaning to be. I abhor racism/sexism/prejudice. I am trying to maintain optimism for mankind. I can certainly be a cynic at times though, but i like to consider myself a realist. I feel this American culture of reality TV watching/ignorance embracing is going to deteriorate our society. I'm incredibly excited to be at this point in my life and I truly look forward to my future more than I ever have before in my life. I 'm a newfound Taoist, and I don't care what religion you are, so long as your philosophy is helping you to become a better person. If you wanna know more, my AIM is KracKaKaun1T2 feel free to hit me up. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
You Are a New School Democrat
You like partying and politics - and are likely to be young and affluent.
You're less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats.
Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book.
You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves, and your johnson is probably massive. What's Your Political Persuasion?

Television:

I try not to watch TV too much, cuz it is infectious and can become a pit to throw your life into. I'm not totally against it, it's just that like everything in life, it needs to be done in moderation. That being said, I like: Family Guy, Law and Orders, CSI, Conan O'Brien!! Carson Daly must DIE!!, Monk, I used to watch old sitcoms like: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Family Matters. I usually use the TV to watch sports games like basketball and football basically.

Books:

Grisham are fun in moderation. I love Chuck Palahniuk, for his satire-ridden dark writing style, which enlightens you into his amazingly unique view of the world. Lies and the Lyling Liars Who Tell Them by Al Franken, Noam Chomsky, Left Behind was interesting, Wings of Dawn, Angela's Ashes, Greek Mythology, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I like the James Patterson novels especially the Alex Cross novels. I'd love to hear from you's peoples about titles you think are worth a read.

Heroes:

Each of my heroes has a certain trait I find admirable. And there are prolly more. Definetly Bill Clinton for being one of the best leaders in the modern world. My bro Jeremy who passed before his time, his spirit remains the warmth in my soul, you'll be missed but never forgotten bro. Greg Graffin, the lead singer for Bad Religion, for questioning societal norms. John Coltrane, whose musical gifts led him to revolutionize the face of modern jazz.
