Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Moved to china to learn new things and experience a different life. Taking a break from massage therapy to teach english and learn business here.
ABOUT ME
Over the past year or so I've gone through a lot of changes. I started focusing on self improvement and graduated school for massage therapy. I'm also a photographer but took a break from it to focus on other things. I recently dove into the burner community and started to take part in various events. I spin fire as frequently as I can and I love to party to much sometimes. I feel like balance in life is one of the most important things we can achieve and I constantly work towards that.
PHILOSOPHY
The way I see it we constantly work towards a balance of three things... Our intellectual side, spiritual side, and physical side. Some people who are unaware of the importance of this balance have a huge shift towards one or two of the categories. I constantly work towads balancing the three and feel that the shift between them will gradually get smaller as I fine tune it.I believe that to an extent we justify unsound choices through logic and need to live a life based off of intuition more of the time. when you have a feeling in your gut about something more often than not your right. Being aware of yourself AND of others is one of the most important things we can do.Respect of others and awareness of yourself is one of the most important lessons and values I have gained in my life.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love reading but have not had enough time to do so. I enjoy all kinds of books. Blink is an amazing psychological study but I'll go and read comics such as Bone, Rasl, Sandman, Midnight Nation and may others. I also love Sci Fi and fantasy... Good Omens is one of the funniest books i've ever read.Movies... I love movies. I just finally watched the swedish film Let the right one in. AWESOME! The skin i live in is possibly one of the best films of 2011 although I also really enjoyed Melancholia. I could discuss movies all night...Music... I listen to and enjoy just about everything except for country. If I ever find any country I like I'll start listening to it. I used to hate electronic music until recently... now I started dancing all the time and found a ton of music in the genre I appreciate.
