Maintainingit

I'm the number one example of the Golden Rule. I'm unbelievably polite and sweet. Even though I'm the caring type, I'm not afraid of an old-fashioned throwdown. I'm a freakin’ wizard. I've got power, personality, and ambition. I'm beautiful both inside and out and give a helpful hand to those in need. I'm going to keep doing my thing.

I don't drink or do any illegal drugs.

I enjoy drawing with pencil and ink, using the Adobe Master Collection 5.5, writing, playing guitar, and drums.

"In relations with others, one should express resentment and anger openly and straightforwardly. If one cannot express them openly and straightforwardly, the only thing to do is forget about them. To harbor grievances in one's heart, awaiting some later opportunity to give vent to them, is to act like a weak and petty man - in truth, it can only be called cowardice. The mind of the superior man is like Heaven. When it is resentful or angry, it thunders forth its indignation. But once having loosed its feelings, it is like a sunny day with a clear sky: within the heart there remains not a trace of a cloud. Such is the beauty of true manliness."

"The ultimate goal of true martial arts practice is the refinement of one's moral character throughout a lifetime of tribulations, hard work, and being a good person. True power comes from the lessons learned by navigating through tribulations properly, while handling oneself in an upright manner. Although martial arts techniques can be used for self defense, a true martial artist is a master of self control, and that is where skill comes from." - ME
