My words to live by....

My favorite quotes: "As far as I have gone, I knew what side I'm on."-Trent Reznor (Quote one)

"Every word I speak is to let that one person out there know that what they know or think they know about me is completley wrong. The only person whom knows me, is me."-Trent Reznor (Quote two)

"What you don't have, you don't need it now. What you don't know, you can feel somehow."-Bono

"All that we see and seem is but a dream within a dream."-Edgar Allan Poe

"Everyone isn't going to like everything that you have to say and the sooner you learn and accept that, the better off you'll be."-Todd McFarlane

"I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, Without prior rules about what it should be."-Bob Dylan

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, The world will know peace."-Jimi Hendrix (Quote one)

"Nobody knows what I'm talking about. I've got my own life to live. I'm the one that's gotta die when it's time for me to die, so just let me live my life the way I want to."-Jimi Hendrix (Quote two)

"Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity."-George Carlin

"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."-Muhammad Ali

Words for the good and bad.

Things that I absolutley HATE in people: Arrogance, Hypocracy, Close/Simple mindedness, Spiteful criticism, Ignorance, Snobiness, Weakness, Egotisticalness, Greed, Ungratefulness and most of all: Disloyalty.

Words I'd describe myself as: Stoic, Serious, Reserved, Observant, Original, Witty, Uncomprimising, Angsty, Driven, Ambitous, Risky, Controversial, Enlightened and Acceptional.

My personal philosophy.

"Most people exspect and want to be liked but I have enough sense to know I'm not or probably won't be liked at all and it makes me absolutley no difference once or ever."-Me

"It's amazing how much advice everyone has to give me but how little they'll act on their own words. In my eyes, I am and always will be better off doing what I want to do and how I see fit regardless of what anyone else thinks of me or my actions or descisions. Any other way for me to live my life is just not gonna happen."-Myself

"The only thing I can do at the end of the day, is make myself happy and if that makes someone else unhappy for a reason which I don't see a reason to be unhappy about, then we'll both have to live with our current stations in life and move on and it's as simple as that."-I

Rare empathy or similar circumstances?

The most relatable thing I've ever heard: "If people could see what I trully thought of them, they'd run for the hills."-Dr.Paul Weston (In Treatment)

My Writing

The thing I love most: Having the creativity and artistic freedom and mind-set to do the things that I love and want to do.

The thing I hate most: When someone interrupts or comes in between me and my work.

The thing I love most: Thinking up new ideas while I'm relaxing.

The thing I hate the most: When I'm too busy to get anything writing-wise done at all.

The thing I love the most: Dreaming. Those usually end up as my best stories.

The thing I hate the most: Being woken up, especially for dumb reasons.

Positive things that my work has been called: Subtle, Original, Focused, Symphonic and Cool.

Negative things that my work has been called: Boring, It takes too long to get to the point and Too dramatic.

Why I love writing so much: The beauty of being able to create something from scratch and bring in from it's starting point all the way into a ending that I'm overall comfortable with, is an accomplishment that I can't even exsplain in words. It's just....the most beautiful and touching thing in my life and I'm going to do it until the day my time is up on this planet. Published or Unpublished, what I do is art and art can't be stopped because art is resistance. My writing, in any way shape or form is a little piece to a huge puzzle in my head.

My imagination is still a work in progress and it always will be and with each letter that I write on a page, I come closer to destiny and there's absolutley nothing that can make me a happier person than to write. They say that our first and last love is self love but for me all my love and every other emotion goes into my writing; the little brush strokes to my most gorgeous masterpiece.

1. My first time at the New York Comic Con in 2006!

Closley related and further apart all at once.

The fictional characters (In any medium) that closest fits myself would definatley be:  

1. Sam Winchester

Why that character?: For starters, we're both the black sheeps of our families. We've both had to give up our own pleasures to work towards our duties numerous times in our pasts and presents. We both have some pretty deep secrets. We're the complete opposites of our older/only brothers. Our love lives are a horrible mess. We're both more reserved than outrageous. We both harbor a very dark anger inside of us. We have an ironically similar quirky and witty sense of humor and most of all, we're both prodigies at something.

2. Cyclops

Why that character?: Well, it's not all that hard to see the same qualities of our personalities in one another first of all. Second of all, we take more shit than we have should have to. We're both men of principles and we both can be consumed with our work and roles in life, especially when others are involved. And most of all, we always put others before ourselves. One other reason is because, like each other, we've had our share of heartbreak throughout our lives; more than most.

3. Dan Vasser

Why that character?:  Vasser and I are both men in constant conflict with ourselves. Our responsobilities to our families and friends can sometimes be overlapped by our sometimes self-appointed responsobilities to help people outside of the realm of our loved ones. Not to mention that we're both writers and usually the victims of unfortunate circumstances.

4. Daredevil

Why that character?: Obviously, our love lives are a total mess; I mean, that's a given. We have to be alot of different things to alot of different people all at once. Although people may see us as helpless (For Matt, it's his blindness. For me, it's my natural knack for finding myself in bad situations), we both seem to be more helpful to others than what they are to us. Our longing for a better life usually bring us to worse places than we were at before. Most of all, we're torn between our pleasures and duties.

5. Matt Parkman

Why that character?: Parkman is just about the one and only character in Heroes whom I can relate with. His striving for a happiness which he's never had, The downfall of his marriage to the one and only woman he's ever loved and his self-sacrifices in the first attempts to stop Sylar's plans are all factors which I can relate to.

Most of all, his need to figure things out for himself is also another reason why I relate so much to him.

A couple of things to know (If you care to know, that is).

I'm most happy when I'm....: Writing or with my friends and/or family.

The most common first reaction that I get from strangers is about: My Stature. People's first reaction ever since I've been a little kid has always been to blow up with astonishment of how big I am for my age (For any age these days....) and it gets really, really, really annoying but you'd never know because I'd rather keep quiet about that particular subject. I mean, I'm not an alien, I'm not an animal and I don't like to feel like I'm a sideshow attraction.

Things that piss me off: When someone condescends to me. When someone swear or talks to me as if they know more than I do or something (It's all in the tone of voice). When someone tries to up-scale me. When I'm not given a fair chance at something. When someone lies straight to my face (I can tell most of the time, I just won't say anything). When I'm accused of something. When I'm treated unfairly. When I'm threatened. When someone treats me like a charity case. *** When someone constantly repeats something to me as if I'm an idiot.***

Things that makes me happy: Of course, having or getting the chance to write anything. When I see my friends happy/happier than I am. When I feel like I've made a positive effect on someone in some way. When I see, in my opinion, good doors opening for a person. When I'm able to listen and/or help a person with a problem which they can't face alone.

Strangest of Irony.
