You Are a Warrior Soul
You're a strong person and sometimes seen as intimidating.
You don't give up. You're committed and brave.
Truly adventuresome, you are not afraid of going to battle.
Extremely protective of loved ones, you root for the underdog.
You are picky about details and rigorous in your methods.
You also value honesty and fairness a great deal.
You can be outspoken, intimidating, headstrong, and demanding.
You're a hardliner who demands the best from themselves and others.
Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul
About me:
I COLLECT FLIP-FLOPS.
I'd rather be barefoot than wear shoes.
I like to dance. ALOT.
Sometimes I think I can write.
So I have recently moved to the true American melting pot of New Orleans recently for hurricane relief work (and many other things, of course!). The parallels between Detroit and New Orleans are truly amazing... I mean, outside of being two of the true American Music Meccas, this is yet another example of "Everything IS Connected."
What's next?
Don't know.
Whatever keeps me interested...
What I love: a darn good party.
What I hate: boredom.

Who I'd like to meet:
Everyone. Let's see if this genius concept Tom & his friends have devised is really gonna connect everyone... I managed to successfully avoid Friendster, will Tom here make Fortune 500..?
The Domino Effect is a star-studded tribute concert celebrating the life and influence of rock and roll legend Fats Domino. Musical legends from far and wide are gathering in New Orleans for one historic night to pay tribute to Fats and his feats throughout his lifetime. A portion of the proceeds from this music extravaganza will benefit the Brees Dream Foundation bettering local playgrounds and outdoor recreation sites for the children of New Orleans. May 30th, New Orleans Arena.
Society is afraid of your wild natures afraid of your naturalness, so from the very beginning, it starts cutting your wings.
And the most dangerous possibility in you is the possibility of love.
Because if there is love, you can go even against the whole world.
If you know your being, there is no question of becoming.
All that you could have ever imagined to become you already are.
You are gods who have forgotten who they are.
You are emperors who have fallen asleep and are dreaming that they have become beggars.
Now beggars are trying to become emperors, in dreams they are making great efforts to become emperors, and all that is needed is to wake up! You may be the last generation which has be the possibility to rebel.
And if you don't rebel there may be no more chances.
Humanity can be reduced to a robot like existence.
