CURRENT MISSION

To meet all the rest of my peoples all over the 'verse

ABOUT ME

Fearless, beyonder, wanderer, joyful being. Presently I'm not crystal
clear about what I'm supposed to be doing HERE, but I know it involves
music and healing myself and others.

I've been all over this 'verse, and oh, have I stories to tell!

I've been 21 years here on Earth, just trying to find my way home,
wherever that is, but I don't feel like any age. I like having brown skin, but I don't like things other people assume about me because of that skin colour.
I am myself first, so please get to know me and respect me.

I love learning, but not traditional education. I'm presently acting
as an autodidact, unschooling if you will. I'm studying Spanish,
myself, music, visual arts (film, drawing, paining and graphic designs,
writing and working on getting my multimedia business started. An
important and hard lesson I'm learning more right now is to love and
approve of myself as I am in this moment. I never realized that being
a good friend to myself and knowing myself is actually hard work. That
goes to say that it requires patience and perseverance in the extremes,
but the payoff of more energy to accomplish my dreams is worth it. I dream big, after all.

I'm a pretty crazy-go-nuts kind of guy. I have a very goofy sense of
humour, and I generally tend to make "non-dirty" jokes. I like British
comedy (Ab Fab, Monty Python, Black Adder) and corny jokes (think Laffy
Taffy)---the cornier the better. Visually funny jokes are good; the sillier things are, the more they make me laugh. Creating music is a great source of
joy for me. Beautiful sounds give me goose pimples. Thus, exploring
new music is a need/hobby of mine. I cannot stand listening to the
same music all the time. While I am not singing to myself and
entertaining fantasies of being a touring musician in my head to
satisfy my need for adulation, I also enjoy exploring other forms of
creative expression. For me, creating is a way to keep in touch with
the divinity within me and to be consumed by love and joy over the magic
of it all. In a way, I am like a child because this whole 'verse is
like a grand, wonderful playground with so much to explore; I give up
my need to know everything and appear smart for chances to experience
everything anew. I feel joy over watching wildlife and nature. The
stars seem to draw me to them; a view of the night sky always yields
new treasures. I am not yet steeped in the ways of this world.

Truth is all I want. I have a need, a drive, to know what is really
true. I am not satisfied with what others have passed off as truth.
No hand-me-down lies please! There has to be something more than the
daily grind, more than meets the eye, and I'm out to find it. Pushing
and destroying my limits, reconstructing and deconstructing myself are
some things I'm always doing. At times I feel like I"m the only person
I know who wants to embrace zir limitlessness. There is so much I want
to know and do, and not out of a need to prove I'm better, but rather a
desire to show others and alternative to their current existence. Is
it possible to remain young in spirit always? Tho I may wear masks, I
do not let those masks become me. This is a great costume ball, and
I'm having fun.

I like to be physically active' I like sweating and exhausting my
muscles. Biking, running and hiking are my main pastimes here. I
also like walking because it teaches patience and humility. Plus
walking is becoming a bit of a lost art.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosphy has changed a lot over the years. I hope it continues to change as I continue to grow and integrate more of my experience and understanding into my philosophies. With that said, I'd have to say that my current philosophy is "Nothing is true; everything is permitted."

I'm very much testing out reality at this point and I really want to know what reality is. I'm not satisfied with what others have said. I must be a scientist and discover from direct experience what is true.

A close second is that as long as I'm here on this planet, I'm going to learn as much, experience as much, love myself as much and have as much fun as I possibly can. I think life should be a blast.
