I'm a Buddhist, but not a very devout one, it's difficult to be a devout anything when you're young, however, I converted to Buddhism, so I will probably do better than I currently do. For the time being I do my best at keeping my karma balanced and hopefully when I grow up I can become a good buddhist.

In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: ..(1) Life is suffering... ..(2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance... ..(3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. ....(4) Suffering can be overcome through use of the Eight Fold Path. .. The path to the suppression of suffering, the Noble Eightfold Path, consists of:
These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and concentration. It is through the practice of this Eightfold path through which one balances ones Karma.

I like Politics and the drama that surrounds that donkey show. I'd like to help make politics fair and interesting to the masses again, but since most people would rather watch paint dry than the presidential debates I think I have my work cut out for me.

It doesn't help that I belong to a third Party, or that the third party I belong to, the Libertarians, are viewed as Gun toting Potheads, which is a stereotype but isn't necessarily wrong when it comes to the leadership of my party. They refuse to listen to anyone with a degree in politics because they believe that if they play the game that somehow that will diminish the moral edge they have on the Major parties, but the truth is that if you don’t play the game you can’t win the game. I’d like to help us gain some ground on the national level while running for offices on the local level but for now I’ll just have to be patient, cause very few people vote for twenty something year old kids for public office.

I recently took up tennis. It's fun, even though I'm not any good. It's alot of running and since I'm not use to aerobic exercise, an-aerobic's more my style, it's doing a number on me. Hopefully I'll get my wind soon so I can finish a whole match without a break or five.

But most of all I like to party. Your only young once and I plan to live the hell out my youth. If that means waking up most morings wondering where my pants r, than so be it.
