Finding the balance between stillness and my thoughts

About me

This site is going to be a place for me to vent who I feel I most naturally am. An expression of myself free of judgement or self-censored ideas.

I am a very creative person. Artistically speaking, I express myself mostly through writing and acting. Every day my random ideas and playful concepts vent out of me in the form of made up monologues to a mirror or pretend character, different accents and voices, creating movie scenes in my head, and saying different things to get reactions from people. I love to act, and I love to create.

I am an idealist. I dream and live in that world of dreams. I am often frustrated by the apparent void between my thoughts and desires and the real world. I sometimes think conquests of the imagination or thought can make up for action, and I am wrong.

I am trying to find a balance between expanding upon my knowledge, thoughts and ideas, and finding stillness of the mind, resisting my incessant need to get lost in my thoughts

Interests

Spirituality

,I love exploring the nature of life,and spirituality is about doing that on a level other than an intellectual one. Thoughts in spirituality are meant as merely a guide to how to not think,how to just experience everything that is and connect with it on an intuitive level beyond words. Spirituality is the quest for God/Supreme Being/the universe/life/whatever you want to call it.,

Science

,I love knowing how things work. All fields of science are so relevant to each other and even fields such as philosophy and art. I love quantum and meta physics (as much as I can understand). I love biology and exploring the miracle that is life,how it works on a molecular level. I love psychology,figuring out how we think and the nature of our mind. I love learning about how the world works.,

Philosphy

,When i was little,i used to drive myself to tears thinking about the concept of life,and that the world existed without me,and my perception of the world was not the world,and what was the meaning of my life? What did it mean that i perceived the world? What did my thoughts or lessons or imagination have anything to do with "the real worl?" Who was I and what was my purpose? Though i don't allow myself to get overly frustrated by those questions anymore,i do still think on them often.,

Sports

,All my life i have been athletic. I am fortunate to have a naturally athletic body and the ability to get in shape and stay in shape pretty easily. I LOVE volleyball,and occasionally play squash,tennis,basketball,and do some biking or running. When i can i am really into water skiing and snow skiing too.,

Not that I should be one to critique since I am not a writer (just a wanna-be). I like what you're doing with the questioning during the intense moments, but my question is does this reflect reality? I find that I experience things and then I question, but don't mind me if you don't want to, just a thought.

Sorry that I couldn't just send you pictures. Everything goes missing in my house, icluding the digital camera. (I decided to show you the painting I did today at the end, too, as an added bonus. Hah.)

ok, so because i SUCK at signing on and keeping this updated like i used to i just wanted to say im sorry for never getting back to you. thats very horrible of me. so i apologize. i guess ive gotten sidetracked. i have a bit of ADD. jk i dont. if you have ADD i hope you dont get offended. anyways im babbling. see this is what i would do on a video comment too. haha. ANYYYYYYWAYS...i wanted to thank you for the video comment you left me about "internet/online dating" and the big caution tape you put around it. i appreciate it. ive had plenty of idiots talking to me online to know to be cautious. marcus [who i met here on QL] is coming to visit me in just ELEVEN days...so im really excited. we're really perfect for each other and have been talking about some serious plans already, so i guess we just have to get "meeting each other" out of the way...but i know we're gonna have a blast while he's here.

anyway...enough about me. how are you? how's your summer goin?

i really love this video - just the simplicity of it, of seeing your reflection and looking to see if it does everything you do - like peter pan's shadow. i tend to do that in store security cameras when you can see the screen behind the checkout desk =P

I'll be posting a video blog soon on my reasons for my absence... but i think i'm back... back to contributing to this website and expressing myself. I owe it to myself more than anyone, and I do deserve and am worth sharing my thoughts. So much time wasted... so much time...

Insightfully intelligent and has a great camera presence. I wonder if it's a coincidence that many great actors come from Canada, such as Mike Myers, Michael J. Fox, Alex Trebek, and William Shatner to name a few. He'd make a perfect wingman for any aspiring Pick Up Artist.
