So, first and foremost. I'm not really sure what I'm lookin' for. For the most part, I'm really lookin' for friends. If something goes beyond that, then we'll see...

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not quite sure what to write here. So I'll just write whatever pops into my head. So let's give it a try...

Anyways...

Art is my life. I love art. I try to express myself through almost every facet possible. Ya' know? Whether it be through my art or what I stick in my ears(I have my ears stretch, I tend to put random things in them. You see what I mean when I put more pics of me up) OOh and I also have a tattoo. I plan on gettin' more tattoos. I love tattoos. It's jus' another way to express myself. And the cool thing about being an artist, I can design my own tattoos. I designed my first one and I will design all of them. I have a plan for all my tattoos. I want get them in a way that reflects my indigenious heritage. So their going to be all black and white, with indigenious themes.

Other then art, I love martial arts. But then again, martial arts is an art. Almost like a dance. I practice muay thai and play capoeira. (And yes, capoeira is a martial art. For those of you that say it isn't. It is...Lets get back on subject.) So all of you that read this, how many of you know what capoeira is? 'Cause I always have to end up explaining or showin' it to people. I'm more surprised if people know what capoeira is.

I guess you can say that I'm one of those people that believe that art can heal. And in reality it can. Art can do a lot of good. But I don't want to get all preachy. So, we'll jus' let that be for right now.

My friends and family are very important to me.
I have some many books. I love reading. It's another passion of mine. I like to read all types of books. Anything from philosophy to fiction. I tend to read one or more books at a time. Which means that I tend to mix up the stories.

Lets see. I love nature. Almost any place, the beach, jungle, or forest. You name I love it! There's something about being in the middle of the desert mountains that see to put things in perspective. It helps you see the face of God in a sense, Ya' know?

So now that I somewhat mentioned god. Jus' let me say that I don't hold one religion as the one true religion. I'm open to all religions that help further mankind and bring down a persons ego. I'm not really religious, but very spiritual. Now that, that is said. Let's move on.

hmmm, not sure what else to write...Any ideas?

OOh, I know. Do you know how to play chess? I can play, but I'm not that good. But I want to play. I know like 3 people that can play. So I don't get to play that often. So if you can play, hit me up!!

Oooh, yeah. If you'd like a better feel of what type of person I am. Then you might want to check out my myspace.
It's....

(But keep in mind that I won't add you unless I know you real well. So don't ask me to add you, unless you know me real well)

Right now I'm workin' at Walgreens. But I plan on becomin' a graphic designer and later on to become an art teacher. Because like I said before. I love art.

And of course capoeira.

Art. Since it's my life, why wouldn't I be good at it.
Also very good at capoeira!!

It was my my hair, but being that I recently cut it. I'm not quite sure.But after the physical part it's my personality.

I would have to say now that my facial hair is gone, it's my smile.(I feel like I look like the 16 year old me. Not really diggin' the look haha)

Well I have a lot favourite books, movies and music. So I'll list a few.

Books
City of God, Dead Emcee Scrolls,The Art of War, Motorcycle Diares, Our Word is Our Weapon, The Street-Smart Song, The Interview with the Vampire, The Illustrated Man,

Movies
Children of men, Cidade de Deus, El Laberinto del Fauno, El Orfanto, El Clown, El Violin, Tsotsi, Rebel without a Cause, Ong-Bak, The Protector, V For Vendetta

And music
Almost anything. Really...

So tha's a few of what I watch and read

1. Pencils
2. Blank Papers
3. Family and friends (Counts as one haha)
4. BOOKS!!
5. Good stories
6. And music!!

Music, capoeira, the future, art, "the now"

pretty much everything and anything

I'm either at one of three places.

Work
Friday Night Rodas
or
Chillin' with friends

It's a draw between the three

It's not really private. But when I was at one of the many friday night rodas, I was playing with a fellow capoeirista and I went to throw a meia-lua de compasso (a type of kick) and she threw an esquiva. But she came up way to early and by the time I noticed, I was already on my down-swing. And you can guess what happen'd. I kicked her in the face. I left her a pretty nasty black-eye. I could stop apologizing to her. I felt like a jerk. But things like that happen in capoeira.

It was all an accident. I would never kick anyone in the face on purpose. Unless it was all in self-defense. (I wonder what people think when they read this. So what do you think?)

**** Hey,, i think its funny & sweet ,, the fact that it made u feel so bad shows what a good guy u are .. ;p
