My name is Joshua Rea. I am an eighteen year old male living in the rural, conservative town of Bemus Point, New York. My objective in life is to live it to the fullest and to try every possible thing that I want to do before I die. Life is far too short to let it pass you buy. I want to be seen, and I want to be heard. I will accomplish everything I wish in my life, and nobody or anything will stand in my way of that.
Well, let's start of with a simple breakdown of my life: I was born on the fifteenth of Novemeber, in 1989, in Warren, Pennsylvania. I have been living in New York pretty much my entire life, and I honestly can't wait to get out. I am a Senior at Maple Grove Junior-Senior High School, and I am also enrolled in a trade school called called the Hewes Educational center in Ashville, New York, where I am majoring in Cosmetology [Study of hair, skin, and nails]. For college, I am hoping to be accepted into the University of Hawaii Manoa, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
I don't have a job because i'm a spoiled brat, and because I am way too focused on my education to have time to worry about one. My parents spot me money when I need it, so I can get by quite fine without a job. As far as my future career plans, I want to be a model more than anything in the world, it has been one of my lifelong dreams. Ever since I was a kid I loved to get my pictures taken, before I discovered the internet, I would take pictures of myself and with my friends and make collages and posters with them, I still have quite a few of them stored away in my closet. Now, with MySpace and all my other internets accounts, hopefully it will make it easier for me to be discovered someday.
I have only a few close friends from my high school, most of my fiends are either in college or are from different high schools throughout the county. I have a very hard time with trusting people. It's extremely hard to earn my trust, and it is also extremely hard to earn it back once you have lost it. I have been stabbed in the back, manipulated, and lied to many times in the past, and I refuse to let it happen anymore. If I'm just meeting you, I will probably act shy and I won't say much, but don't be offended by it, it doesn't mean that I don't like you, and it doesn't mean I'm crushing on you either, you conceited fuck, it simply takes alot of time before I will fully open myself up to you and show you the real me.
I absolutely LOVE shopping and buying clothes and jewelry. I take alot of pride in my appearance, and I love looking completely new and different everyday. I pretty much wear whatever I want, whenever I want. I will never buy complete outfits or shop at only two or three stores, to put it simply, if i see something I like, I buy it, I wear it, and I own it. I don't dress the way I do for attention, for the sake of being different, or because I'm an anarchist or a rebel, I simply do it because I like it. I also don't believe in labels or high school stereotypes, I think that it's so ignorant, shallow, and also impossible to categorize somebody's lifestyle into a single word, there is only one label a person should be called, and that is their name. I am very happy with the person that I am today and I wouldn't want to be anybody else.
I have alway's done pretty much everything for myself. I like to as independent and as responsible as I possibly can, because I simply want to be prepared to live on my own in the not-too-distant future. I hate having thing's alway's done for me, I am an adult, and I can take care of myself and make my own damn life choices.
When it comes to what to what other people think about me, I really don't give a FUCK. People alway's ask me why I present myself the way I do, and the answer to that is, because this is how I like to be. I have been dressing this since the beginning of high school, meaning that I committed social suicide a very long time ago, but you know what? I really couldn't be happier. People like to talk shit about me and spread rumors about me constantly, but I am mature enough to simply brush it off of my shoulder and not even give it a second thought. If everyone in the world would just quit caring about what other people think about them and would just do what makes them truly happy, the world would be a MUCH better place. So why don't you all just stop and think for a second: Are you truly happy with who you are? Do you ever consider being something different? Are you the way you are because of you're friends? If that's the case, GET SOME NEW FRIENDS. Do what makes YOU truly happy, be who YOU want to be, and don't let anybody or anything stand in you're way.
