Currently I'm in University taking Political science, Ive always enjoyed politics and would like to be involved, in some capacity later on in life. After I get my B.A. I plan on Applying for Law. After that, I really have no idea, just roll with it. I would like to travel more, the world is such a big place and with so many types of people its hard to not just want to grab a rucksack and head out.

I would like to write a book at some point, but saying that Ive realized alot of people in general would like to, but very few actually do..

I am a Soto Zen Buddhist, and try my best to follow its system in daily life. I got into it when I read Brad Warner's book "Hardcore Zen" and "Sit down and shut up, punk rock and zen." For me I realized that it was a good way to control anger, and a temper that was beginning to get ungovernable. In the end, its made me see that life is alot better when your not pissed off at the world.

I found out very late in High school that I was naturally athletic, it was something that gave me alot of confidence in myself, where as before I really had none... It was a very interesting time for me. The experience of belonging to a group of individuals who talked about politics all the time, played Magic and Pokemon, got picked on and kicked around, and then suddenly fitting in and being accepted by people that previously I was scarred to death of(Jocks)was bizarre to say the least. And then being jarred by the sudden reality, that after highschool, all of the carefully constructed hierarchies of sub-cultures and groups faded away into a swirl of chaos and individualism.

After Highshcool I worked on several major construction projects finding it provided a good paycheque but was very mind numbing and tedious.I then skipped the country for 2 years on my own, traveling around the south pacific. It was a good trip, I learned alot about life, living, and just being.. I would recommend it to anyone, especially the LOTR film sights in New Zealand.

My fears in life are mainly of failure, not achieving everything I want, and of not helping the world out in some way in the end of it all.. Phobias being spiders... can not for the life of me stand the creepy little buggers...

Im really into philosophy and debating.... I really could sit and talk for hours about well anything really.. nothing quite like a good debate.

Secretly I'm a huge Jane Austen Fan, love "chick-flicks", and really am a romantic....True love has always been an interesting subject, if its real or not, Im not sure, but the idea of it is nice... and thats good enough for me. :P
