  I am a poet who has finally found his inspiration in life. After two years of intense therapy and a lot of soul searching, all is right in the world. I have friends to depend on and a family to love. I have learned to embrace everything in life, good and bad. I am an over analytical skeptic that always has to win the argument. I question anything and everything around me only because I care enough not to accept life as is. I refuse to be ignorant. I know that there are far too many amazing things in the world that we have not even begun to fathom. I am grateful for every breath I take in this beautiful thing we call life. I no longer fear dying for I know I will not leave this world alone and unloved. I see every day as a chance to live my life better than the day before. Music is my life, If it wasn’t for music I would have pulled the trigger long ago. I am very disciplined. I was a vegan for a year and a virgin for twenty. My friends call me a pessimist, but I see myself as more of a realist. I am an aspiring Psychologist because I want to save lives for a living. I would have been a soldier, but I don’t want to die for something I don’t believe in. I would have been a priest, but my libido decided against it…. I like to help others because it makes me feel like I am doing something productive in the world instead of just breathing everyone else’s air. I have been involved with musical theatre most of my life, and as a result, I am very outgoing. I write poetry about anything and everything that inspires me. I have been called arrogant, cocky, and pretentious. Although true, I am probably one of the most humble, honest, and open-minded people you will ever meet. I have finally learned to love myself and stop looking for that thing that wasn’t there. After taking my hand out of the metaphorical “cookie jar” life was much better. I am everything that encompasses a hopeless romantic. I often times feel lost and alone in this confusing and cumbersome world, but my friends keep me in check. I am over the whole party scene and random hook-ups, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like to get really hammered time to time with my close friends. I am looking for real people I can connect with from all facets of life. I am more intimated by the wise than the intelligent. Intelligent people give facts while the wise introduce theories and ideas that leave one pondering and questioning everything one says and does. I am a very spiritual person. I am Catholic, but I haven’t been to church in two years because I can’t handle the overload of hypocrisy that goes on during the mass. The church is FILLED with people who lie to themselves and God every day, and I just can’t surround myself with that. I HATE dishonest people with a bloody passion. Come to think of it, I come to dislike the majority of people I come into contact with, but I think I hide it pretty well. I used to have an impenetrable wall of fury that very few have seen the other side of, but I have learned that I need to bring the walls down to truly experience life to it’s fullest. You get out of life exactly what you put in. Now, I am an open book. Some people find me unusual or strange and my personality often leaves them bewildered, but I see myself as unique and eccentric. Sometimes a person can think they know everything about me, and then I turn around and do something that erases any previous conclusions they had about me. I hate arguing, but I LOVE debating. Discussing issues with people who see things a different way than you do can prove to be very insightful and enlightening, even if you still think the other person is wrong in the end. After six years of smoking, I have just recently quit. I didn’t do it for my friends or family or God, I did it for me, which is probably why it took me so damn long. I used to be the wallflower who stands in the corner at parties, but now I tend to be the life of the party. I am in the fraternity Phi Delta Theta. No, it is not a frat. We are not some stupid stereotype. Yes, we party hard just about every day of the week, but who doesn’t at this age? But what most don’t know is that my fraternity does community service and is very involved in our school. And if you are one of those people that still want to judge something you know nothing about, then you are a fucking idiot. I have been branded as a punker, a prep, a emo kid, a rebel, etc. The truth is I do not fit any label. I am my own label. Sometimes I like wearing Hollister clothes, other times I like putting my hair in a faux hawk and wearing band shirts. Don’t stereotype me! I believe labeling people prevents them from becoming something greater than what they are by restricting them to one persona. I embrace individuality even if it means your opinions, morals, etc. clash with mine. I am open to any and all aspects of life. I have black friends, I have Muslim friends, I have gay friends, and I have French friends. I don’t care what your race, religion, sexual orientations is, whatever, as long as you are a genuinely good person, you are cool with me. I believe every human being has one unique gift and whatever that may be; I believe they should exploit it to its full potential. I tend to focus more on the little things in life rather than the latter. I see the beauty of everything in the world, and embrace it with all of my being. To me, life is not about having money, fame, or success, but having love and giving love to others. If it wasn’t for my friends, I wouldn’t be breathing the air I am now. Every day is another opportunity to learn something to learn about myself. Just when I think I have all the answers, I go and negate all my previous assumptions by doing something new and different. I believe in constantly reinventing oneself. You have to try on different shoes till you find which one fits best. Anything else would be a lie. I have all the answers and at the same time, I have nothing. “I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to.” I never take my own advice…… IM me at: JCPoet101 I want to meet everyone in the world that has something imperative to say. I want to meet people with opinions different from my own. I want to meet people who are completely different from me in every aspect and still connect with them on some higher level. I want to meet God so I can thank him for giving me such a wonderful life to live in. I want to meet Gandhi so I can discuss his ideals. I want to meet Buddha so I can hear his wisdom. And I want to meet Bush, so I can ask him why oil is more valuable than human life. I want to meet anyone real, down to earth, and open to views other than their own.
