ABOUT ME

I am a primate of the human being variety.

I am a lover...of mostly everything in this large sphere of ever-tilting time and space :D

I am an artist in the fields of percussion, writing, graphic design, and more recently electronics...I truly appreciate art and have a strong passion for recognizing it, even in the rarest of cases.

I enjoy listening...and like the whitespace of a work of art, to appreciate the silence of thoughts mingling and stirring in the valleys of our voices' mountainous expressions.

I enjoy meeting new people, and exploring different cultures other than mine, which is of Puerto-Rican descent, but stems from many places around the world, including most of the different continents.

I think my favorite thing in the world to do is express myself through art...it is my belief that we can spread light to the world through this way, and the more we see, the more we can love...isn't that really what we all want?

I admire deep philosophical adventures of conversation with others the exact amount I desire (somedays) to sit alone with no lights and drift away with good headphones.

I enjoyed starting every group of words in this description with a specific letter.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in vibes...the idea that with every action there are emotions of either good, bad, or neutral attached in some energy form (because energy cannot be created or destroyed, but simply exists). When utilizing this energy for the positive, nearly all things are possible, and the more people that choose to be positive, the better the world will get along.

I also believe that the world we see around us, besides nature, which is the true mystery of life (and which serves to be respected and appreciated on an infinite number of occasions), consists solely of ideas...some of them conceptualized and others unrealized or not yet fully complete.

To use these philosophies (and many others I have come across that I agree with) together to aid the advancement of society is the real reason why I live my life...perhaps now you now too much

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once upon a time in Turkey, I had just gotten home from studying (or drinkıng, I cant remember) and was going to sleep, when a girl came in my room and told me her house had just burned down. The oniy thing that could make her happy in the entire world was if I could give her one single dreadlock. I hope to never forget this moment in time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to feel music, with the core of your being...how to manipulate computers to be your minions(and not the other way around), and also how to peel an orange in a perfectly connected spiral...

I wish to learn about how every culture thinks and what it means to be happy, so that myself and whoever else is willing can bring people together to change this world for the future and forever! :D
