Despite being a often humbled and humiliated young man, I cannot help but feel that I have handled every one of my life's events in no other way than how I would have otherwise have handled these issues. I have come from humble beginnings. I cannot change my past, but I can change the directions that I am heading. Every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around. With respect to the previously listed comments, I have spent the majority of my life looking for my special talent. You do what you are. Every one is born with a gift. If you cannot discover your gift, then you practice something until it is a gift. If you betray your gift, then you betray yourself. It is a sad thing. I have most recently found that my greatest happiness involves leading people during moments of crisis, when they are unable to help themselves. It is a moment greater than any one person. I most recently turned 26 years of age, but it seems like my 18th Birth day was last week. I can't remember all the times that I've tried to tell myself to hold onto these moments as they pass.
You Are Cyclops
Dedicated and responsible, you will always remain loyal to your cause.
You are a commanding leader - after all, you can kill someone just by looking at them.

My Interests

Education, Self-Mastery, Politics, Law, Houston Astros, The Shawalla-the one not sold in stores.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet the Giants of whose shoulders my generation stands upon.

Music:

Pretty much your typical "white boy" music. Pink Floyd, Dave Matthews Band, Tool, Blue October, Stone Temple Pilots

Movies:

Vanilla Sky, The Rain Maker, Kill Bill volume I, The Boondock Saints, Batman Begins, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Just about any concert movie

Television:

Daily Show, Colbert Report, South Park, Man vs. Wild, The Deadliest Catch, Family Guy. The usual stuff geared toward my demographics.

Books:

Okay, lets get this straight: Great books translate into great movies; Great movies translate into great video games So, there real is little sense in reading. I don't like books because I don't trust books (ask the Oprah Fan Club). I mean who has time to be reading anyways? If you are actually taking time to read, then you should probably go get a job-and quit being unproductive. I will, however, read non-fiction for a class-but the book better serve a purpose-like to educate me.

Heroes:

I consider most people to be a hero in their own right. My parents put up with my shit, but I put up with theirs.
