| Quotes: |
People always say that I'm a lot nicer than they thought I would be initially. Like all people with tattoos are serial killers or something. I always think of myself as a friendly, down-to earth, Mid-Westerner who is goofy and loves to laugh. I have a dark side, and I have demons like everyone else, but you won't see that side of me unless you're asking for it. Did that just sound like a threat? Here I am saying I'm friendly and then threatening you all in the same sentence. Whoops.
<br />
<hr>
I grew up watching Bruce Lee films, but it wasn't until I was much older that I realized how much I appreciate his philosophical views. I don't like using the word "hero", but his legacy and everything that he seemed to be is definitely an inspiration to me.
<br />
<hr>
With me, I am very sensitive and empathetic, but I also have misanthropic tendencies. This may seem like a convoluted or hypocritical thing to outsiders, but I strongly know where I stand with my outlook on humanity. I really, really do seek to help people in need. But there is no room in my heart for liars, manipulators, users, or people who inflict pain or violence on the innocent.
<br />
<hr>
I have a very strong personality and most people like cream in their coffee; I like mine black. I am not for everyone. And as sensitive as I am, truth is of more importance to me than being popular.
<br />
<hr>
I don't care if you live in a cardboard box or a mansion, I'm not going to treat you differently because of it. I either like the person that you are or I don't. And I'm not capable of faking that. Well, I'm capable, but I would never want to do that. Unless I have to be cooperative with you in a professional setting, there are no exceptions. I take my work very seriously. And I try to keep my social life uncluttered. You know, save the drama for the camera as much as I can. |
