About


Well, I guess after almost a year, it’s about time I updated this thing. Let’s see… So much has happened in the last year, that it’s amazing to think that it all happened. It was like in the blink of an eye, everything around me changed, and nothing has been the same since.

Well, I’ve done quite a bit of “maturing” in the last year. You won’t EVER hear me say I’ve “grown up,” because the second I even say I have in the slightest, all my work at what I want to do with my life and achieving my dreams will just have been thrown away. And after everything I’ve put myself through, and everything I’ve been forced to go through, there’s no WAY I’m going to give that up.

What are my dreams you might wonder? Well… A few different things, really. But since I was a child, I have always wanted to become a video game designer. A designer for my own second-party studio to Nintendo. Will I ever achieve this dream? Well, I’m going to try as hard as I can, because I have always believed that “Nothing in life worth having comes easy.” And believe me, it hasn’t been easy. I’m currently a student in my sixth quarter at the Arts Institute of San Francisco, California, enrolled in their Game Art & Design program. I don’t think I’m that great of an artist personally, but I love to draw, and have been doing as such since… Well, longer than I can remember! If you feel so inclined, you can check out the stuff under my deviantART account, but I’m warning you there isn’t much there! It’s still a work-in-progress, but I’m slowly, but surely updating it. Also, if you have a LiveJournal account, you can hit me up there, as well.

As for my other dreams you ask? I have always been fascinated with animation in general. Growing up watching The Simpsons, Disney, and just a bunch of cartoons in general, becoming a cartoonist/animator is something else I have always wanted to pursue. It’s a lot of hard work, but it would be an AMAZING job! Being a video game designer/animator would probably be the greatest thing in the world. Well... Next to this next thing I'm about to say.

Another dream of mine is to one day find a lovely girl I can share all this with, and hopefully, start a family with. Someone who loves me for who I am, someone I can be myself around, and all that good stuff. So yes, that means I am single, and am still waiting for that “special someone” to come my way. I have never been lucky when it comes to love, but I’m still holding out! Don’t know what that says about me, but I can tell you, the thought of marriage is just amazing to me. To be that close and personal with only one other person in the world… Well, I can dream, right? But I do miss holding someone’s hand, getting hugs when I need and want them, and all that other stuff that comes in a relationship… Boy, this is sounding really emo, so I’ll just leave it with this: “I think monogamy is REALLY sexy!”

I grew up in Visalia, CA, and currently have an apartment in Daly City, CA, so that I can go to school. I switch back-and-forth between homes, so one weekend I could be in San Francisco, and Visalia the next! It can be disorienting at times, but if I’m at home for the weekend, it usually means I’m feeling really lonely, and need someone to talk to, or be around with. I HATE being alone, which is unfortunate, because I OFTEN find myself with nobody around me to talk to. It’s when all the thoughts that haunt me begin to take their toll, and it’s not something I like to deal with. So, as you can probably tell, I’m a clingy person. Though, there are only a select few in this world whom I cling to, out of fear of getting hurt. Like I usually do. I guess it’s worthy to mention that I can be an emotionally-unstable person at times… ?

Now, let’s talk about my cousin for a moment. Glacia is one of those select few I mentioned before. She is the single most IMPORTANT person in my life, and no matter how crappy I may be feeling at the time, seeing her smile just makes that all disappear. She is the most amazing person I’ve ever met or known in my life, and NO ONE will ever come between she and I. Even if we are separated by more than 1700 miles, the bond she and I share is unbreakable, and I know that one day, we’ll finally be reunited again. And if you think I sound weird, I honestly really don’t care. And if you EVER do anything to upset her/make her unhappy/ANYTHING of that nature, I will not hesitate to seriously put the hurt on you. Seriously. You can just ask one person here, and he’ll vouch for that. Basically, I love her with ALL my heart, and whenever I get to spend time with her, it’s usually the stuff memories are made of.

Let’s talk about entertainment now! I LOOOOOOVE movies and music with a burning passion. Movies can act as the escapism I need at certain times in my life, and I can usually find a song that really fits with my mood/what I’m feeling/etc. I have so many favorite movies, but if I had to pick some off the top of my head, they would be Sylvester Stallone’s entire “Rocky” saga, the Indiana Jones movies, School of Rock, South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut, Weird Al Yankovic’s “UHF,” The Lion King, A Goofy Movie, The Simpsons Movie, Superman I, II, and Returns, and Spiderman 1 & 2. I love television as well, and even though I don’t really watch it anymore, my favorite shows happen to be The Simpsons, King of the Hill, South Park, Mission Hill, Arrested Development, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, n**/Tuck, and Rescue Me. As you can see, I’m a BIG fan of the comedy genre. I LOVE to laugh, and I believe that laughter is the greatest emotion of all.

As for music… Well, where do I begin? I love music in any shape or form, but I’m not big on the rap/hiphop genres. Don’t ask me why, because I’m not getting into it. Some of my favorite music and bands happen to be Yellowcard, Weird Al Yankovic, the Goo Goo Dolls, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Crush 40, and Colin Hay/Men At Work. These are only just a few things to name, but yeah, you get the idea. I’m a big fan of the rock and/or roll genre, and can usually be found with my headphones on. Music is just as much of an expression of the soul as drawing is, I think, and I can probably name a few hundred songs that I can relate with. Especially anything from Yellowcard. I love musicals as well, though, I hardly watch them, if that makes any sense. The only musical I can find myself actually obsessing about is the masterpiece “Avenue Q,” because there is just so much behind it. Especially considering that it’s a musical-comedy! A few people have told me I should actually go about auditioning for it, but will I? Who knows… Only time will tell, huh? Depends if “certain things” are fulfilled first. Did I mention I used to be a choir boy? Yeah, I love to sing, but only when no one is around. After the experiences I’ve had, I’ll probably never “solo” again in my life. It’s a short story, but it seems long whenever I recount it… So I won’t!

Now, for the video games! I love this media… Though, I’m hardly ever able to play them anymore, and when I do get the chances, I find that they can’t hold my attention like they used to, which is sad. Save for a select few, newer games hardly keep me interested for more than an hour, and I tend to lean more towards the classics. I grew up with Nintendo, so I’ll never favor anything else over them, especially since I hope to one day sell my soul to them! My uncle bought me my first NES as a child, and since then, it’s just been one, looooooooong downhill road from there. Some of my favorite games happen to be Star Fox, Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Bomberman, Dragon Quest/Warrior, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Banjo-Kazooie, Gears of War, F.E.A.R., Viewtiful Joe, Metal Gear Solid, and countless others… There are WAAAAY too many to count.

I even play all the newest consoles online! If you have Xbox Live you can hit me up as FireFox516 if you ever wanna play, or FireFox589 if the PlayStation 3 is more your choice! PM me if you play the Wii or DS, and I’ll be more than happy to hit you up on those, too; especially if you play Animal Crossing: City Folk, Mario Kart Wii/DS or Super Smash Bros. Brawl!

Hm… This is getting a bit longer than I expected! … Again! So I guess I’ll just leave it here. Can’t believe you made it through reading this whole thing, to be honest. I really don’t like talking about myself, but, uh… Guess I kinda got carried away? If you ever wanna talk, or anything, just hit me up; I’ve been told I’m a good listener, and I promise, I won’t bite.

Hard, anyways.

Friends

[i:681a01c2d3]I know... Every last regret inside of me is my own.
The way I hold them close has made me be this way,
I will never change.
I know I'm stuck here on my own.
My own...[/i:681a01c2d3]
