You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways.
And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery...
Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever.
You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem.
I am a graduated outdoor recreation major so I like spending time outside; skiing/snowboarding, camping, hiking, etc. I also enjoy being inside too; I enjoy working on my computer for some odd reason, not totally sure why, I guess I just enjoy being able to do a ton of stuff at once. I have been teaching myself html, bridge (the card game), the d20 system (DnD for those that care--its a game designed entirely on your imagination), and also I delve into how to express myself better through writing poems. I enjoy anything that stimulates my mind, makes me think, or challenges me in a mental way.

My mysapce:
Plastering the page with stimulus trying to express myself, I fill it with quotes pictures facts poems and more, trying to make it something then it was before (a visual email center—which is really all that I perceive it to be), I find it to be quite fun even if you all think it is lame, for the page is my own and it’s nice to be shown for I use it like a poster of who I’ve become, I fill it with things of interest, personality, and glee just because I seem to want you to know me, for me.

"Many a noble sat often in council, sought a plan, what would be best for strong-hearted men do against the awful attacks. At times they vowed sacrifices at heathen temples, with their words prayed that the soul-slayer (or devil) would give help for the distress of the people. Such was their custom, the hope of heathens; in their spirits they thought of hell, they knew not the Ruler, the Judge of Deeds, they recognized not the Lord God, nor indeed did they know how to praise the Protector of Heaven, the glorious King. Woe is him who in terrible trouble must trust his soul into the fire's embrace, hope for no comfort, not expect change. Well is the man who after his death-day may seek the Lord and find peace in the embrace of the father." ~~Beowulf
You Are a Glazed Donut
Okay, you know that you're plain - and you're cool with that.
You prefer not to let anything distract from your sweetness.
Your appeal is understated yet universal. Everyone dig you.
And in a pinch, you'll probably get eaten.
You are the most real of all the green shades. You're always true to yourself.
For you, authenticity and honesty are very important... both in others and yourself.
You are grounded and secure. It takes a lot to shake you.
People see you as dependable, probably the most dependable person they know.
You're a true adventurer. You constantly find yourself drawn to new experiences, people, and places.
Sometimes you feel quite scattered and bored. If something exciting isn't going on, you feel a bit lost.
If this is the hand I was dealt, I'm sure glad I learned how to bluff a little; because I'm screwed. I just really hope this isn't the hand I was dealt.

Music
Blues, Classical, Instrumental, Jazz, Orchestras, Soft Rock, and Some Opera. The radio is always a plus in the fact that I don't have to get up to change cd's.
Bagpipes, Oriental flutes, didgeridoo, the recorder, bands entirely made up of drums, the Indian flute, Indian chanting, Indian drums, and of course the kazoo.
Pink Floyd any and all, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Tchallkosky, Third Day, Ray Charles, The Three Tenors, The Decemberists, The Doors, etc etc to list a few actual artists.
I know they aren't necessarily counted as music, but I enjoy listening to nature: The river, ocean, birds chirping, rain, hail, soft wind, wind in the trees, they're all just so relaxing. I think it's classified as white noise, or what I like to call harmony in nature.

Bravely bold Sir Robin, rode forth from Camelot, He was not afraid to die, Oh Brave Sir Robin, He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken; To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin.
His head smashed in, and his heart cut out, And his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged, And his nostrils raped, and his bottom burned off, And his penis split ... and his ... ...
Brave Sir Robin ran away. 'I didn't.' Bravely ran away, away. 'No, no, no.' When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes, Brave Sir Robin turned about And gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave Sir Robin Petrified of being dead Soiled his pants then brave Sir Robin Turned away and fled.

Some things in life are bad they can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle don't grumble, give a whistle and this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten there's something you've forgotten and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you're feeling in the dumps don't be silly chumps just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd and death's the final word you must always face the curtain with a bow. Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit when you look at it life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show keep 'em laughing as you go just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life...Always look on the right side of life...(Come on guys, cheer up!)...Always look on the bright side of life...Always look on the bright side of life...(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)...Always look on the bright side of life...(I mean - what have you got to lose?)...(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!)...Always look on the right side of life...

These are not polite suggestions. These are cause of behavior. And those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost. There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth...not to push the bounds and cross over...into true corruption, into our domain. But if you do...one day you will look behind you and you will see we three.

You've been described as 'the brains' of your family or group of friends. You're the natural born, 'Mr. Fixit'. You're also considered the most reserved, preoccupied with your own little thoughts and ideas. But that doesn't mean you don't hang with your family and friends! But, you still find it easy to get lost in your own thoughts...daydreaming often. You'd rather talk things out than fight. You long for a day when there's nothing but peace in the world, and when you can finally rest with your own thoughts. Violence is something the world could completely live without. One of your labels may be, 'true to blue friend'. You're strong at heart and powerful at mind.

Laying about, anywhere is comfortable, anywhere is good, to just sit back and waste the day away; seeking your bed, though soft and warm, isn't always the best place to lay, for there are always places, crevasses, corners, and even the middle of the floor that are great substitutes in where to lay away for the day.

You're as yet not certain what your path in life is. You are still exploring the world and your options, looking for a goal or a purpose that motivates you, and gives your life more of a purpose. But do not worry, just because you haven't found what your looking for, doesn't mean it's not out there. Keep searching.
"Amid frequent and thoughtful endeavors to remember; amid earnest struggles to regather some token of the state of seeming nothingness into which my soul had lapsed, there have been moments when I have dreamed of success; there have been brief, very brief periods when I have conjured up remembrances which the lucid reason of a later epoch assures me could have had reference only to that condition of seeming unconsciousness......" ......"The odor of the sharp steel forced itself into my nostrils. I prayed --I wearied heaven with my prayer for its more speedy descent. I grew frantically mad, and struggled to force myself upward against the sweep of the fearful scimitar. And then I fell suddenly calm, and lay smiling at the glittering death, as a child at some rare bauble."

One summer day a grasshopper was singing and chirping and hopping about. He was having a wonderful time. He saw an ant who was busy gathering and storing grain for the winter.
“Stop and talk to me,” said the grasshopper. “We can sing some songs and dance a while.”
“Oh no,” said the ant. “Winter is coming. I am storing up food for the winter. I think you should do the same.”
“Oh, I can’t be bothered,” said the grasshopper. “Winter is a long time off. There is plenty of food.”
So the grasshopper continued to dance and sing and chip and the ant continued to work. When winter came the grasshopper had no food and was starving.
He went to the ant’s house and asked, “Can I have some wheat or maybe a few kernels of corn. Without it I will starve,” whined the grasshopper.
“You danced last summer,” said the ant in disgust. “You can continue to dance.” And he gave him no food.

Grumpy and grouchy, you aren't just pessimistic. You revel in your pessimism.
You are usually feeling: Unhappy. Unless it's rainy outside, and even then you know the foul weather won't last.
You are famous for: Being mean yet loveable. And you hate the loveable part.
How you live your life: As a slob. But it's not repelling as many people as you'd like!
Round it turns, always moving, always changing. Fixed instruments from stars, sun, and the moon. Beating from the start of time. It watches the day begin, and waves to it as it ends. An important device that all learn to use. Its TIME! Once gone or wasted will never come back to us again!
Well, I have been a college graduate from Eastern Washington University since December of 05. I graduated with a B.A in Outdoor Recreation with two minors: Minor in Sociology, and a Minor in Psychology. I got the two minors just because I enjoy watching and learning unspoken things from people, it actually helps me get to know myself better.
I am currently unemployeed and thus looking for work. I got laid off right before thanksgiving of 08, happy holidays indeed.
I love my car: a 2008, 5 door Mazda 3. It's amazing. and handles really well at a hundred and fifteen. Teehee. Not so well in three feet of snow however.
Otherwise I'm fairly open, I like to hang out, have deep meaningful conversation rather then just talk about the weather and my favorite sports team. I am pretty simple but all out unique, but its how God made me.
oh yeah, I almost forgot. Kerri Is Super AWESOME Cool!

Your Candy Heart Says "Get Real"
You're a bit of a cynic when it comes to love.
You don't lose your head, and hardly anyone penetrates your heart.
Your ideal Valentine's Day date: is all about the person you're seeing (with no mentions of v-day!)
Your flirting style: honest and even slightly sarcastic
What turns you off: romantic expectations and "greeting card" holidays
Why you're hot: you don't just play hard to get - you are hard to get
It's easy for you to get swept away by romance...
But you've done a pretty good job keeping perspective.
You're still taken in by love poems and sunsets
You just don't fall for every dreamy pick up line!

Anybody I know already, the friends I've lost contact with or never received a contact for. Those people that aren't constantly trying to get me to buy there music or look at there webcam (I admit I'm a guy and therefore am a pervert, however I don't need to be tempted with some TNA I'll never actually get to see--so stop asking). I want to get to know people that aren't shallow, I don't want a cookie tray, I want a cauldron.

Galatians 5:15
"And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature."

Don't fall into this management style.
The Supporter:
In the back, the shadows, we stand and give aid; moral and spiritual help, we might even be seen as a nuisance, but yet why haven’t we been told to leave, we give information, guidance and friendship; a lone voice which is seldom regarded, we see things, hear things that is important, but it seems almost always ignored, we’re a friend in times of trouble, a spotter ready to catch you when you fall, we are seen by many: as a “blister” and “the ones we spot would be better off without us”, yet we’re asked for help on many occasions, and though knowing you wont take our head we give you the information anyway because we are hear to help, after all we’re the supporters, the caring observant few that watch your backs, the ones that might know you just from watching, the ones you are tired of hearing from and so recoil into taking those you’ve just met; hurt and bummed we hold strong, for our task is to be your support, our calling to be a warm band aid; we hold out our hand wanting you to trust, wanting you to share what we’ve already seen, …. we can only help if you allow us in,

"No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power tyrants and dictators cannot stand. The Centauri learned that lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free."
*I enjoy teaching myself new things, such as Photoshop, html, bridge or anything else that is a mental effort.
*Chess: it doesn't matter if I'm winning or loosing, you can always learn something from chess. Even if your learning something about the other individual--this is one of the better aspects of chess in my opinion. Its one thing to learn how to play and get better at your personal game; but I totally like playing because it can usually tell me something about who I'm playing with, a piece of their character if you will.
*Cribbage, canasta, and bridge I would have to say are my main card games, most other card games I find a bit lacking
*I am very interested in the d20 system; or other pen&paper games (rpg's). The dynamics are very interesting, that and the fact that you have to use your imagination to play is also a plus; and it's the only dice game I can halfway get into.
*I like engaging my mind in puzzles; jigsaw, math, logic, crosswords, sudoku; I would say most puzzles. I like the challenge and I really like the logic.
*I would also call myself an average photographer; though I am not desperately pleased with taking shots of people, I think all my nature shots are surprisingly good.
On a more physical note: -I enjoy racquet ball, -hiking, going on like 2 and 3 hour long walks for no reason whatsoever (for those that know, I've walked from Salnave to Four Lakes just for fun), -bike riding (sometimes), -the poor mans sport: Bowling, -and working out (and none of this sissy sit and stretch for half an hour crap, I mean WORK OUT).

"I need to talk about your flair."
'Really? I have 15 buttons on. I, uh...'
"Well, ok, 15 is minimum, ok? Now, it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Well, like Brian, for example, has 37 pieces of flair. And a terrific smile."
'Ok. Ok, you want me to wear more?'
"Look. Joanna. People can get a cheeseburger anywhere, ok? They come to Chotchkie's for the atmosphere and the attitude. That's what the flair's about. It's about fun."
'Ok. So, more then?'
"Look, we want you to express yourself, ok? If you think the bare minimum is enough, then ok. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, ok? You do want to express yourself, don't you?"
'Yeah. Yeah.'
"Great. Great. That's all I ask."
"Yeah. Yeah. Although I didn't actually choose these. I, uh, I just grabbed fifteen buttons and, uh, I don't even know what they say! Y'know, I don't really care. I don't really like talking about my flair."

The expression
How can we express ourselves when they say it’s not enough we fulfill the requirements and still they wine to us they want more, thinking we wish to comply Can’t they see? Don’t’ they know? We are expressing ourselves in the fact we don’t wish to be a cookie cutter box we give in, allowing to be controlled our box is formed and our being sucked dry our being sucked dry if only they could see that we want to be free and our expression can at length be the minimum of your opinionated glee

~~Frankenstein
The Monster Just Wanted to Be Loved (10/5)
A creation of parts popped into existance, and yet its so ugly, misinterpreted and benign, that those that see it run in fear and so it watches learning about interactions from families and differing sexes, wondering if it will ever be able to be accepted wondering if it will ever take a role in societies play, whenever it tries the world looks at it as a monster not understanding and not caring that all it wants is a friend and a companion, and so they hunt it with pitch forks and axes suffocating it into a dark hole making it feel alone, always alone, making it feel helpless and in despair, all because they dont want to take the time to understand this hideous beast that stares out in a world trying to understand some meaning, some reason, behind the forgottenness and loneliness of how the world views the thing, that is still struggling with its own exsistance;
And so I have to wonder how many frankensteins are here, forgetting the souls that just want a friend somebody to be around and yet seem to chase those souls into seclusion from societies clutches with their disregardings and harsh word bindings
Moody, emotional, and even a bit angst... you certainly know how to express your emotions.
At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much.
This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it's even maybe made you cultivate some artistic talents!
You have a true artist's temperament... which is a blessing and a curse.
"I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had who was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on I am your teacher."

"We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against."
How can we describe art? The way it makes us feel? The tones and colors that seem to stand out to individuals. How some art speaks to some people and to others its just a colored canvas.
I would say that I am more of a naturalistic artist, I enjoy some abstract, and even some surreal art but most art I think that speaks to me is realistic. But there again, I like art that I can relate too or that gives me something even if that something is awe.
Some of my more favorite artist and art:
Sunset in Yosemite Valley: Albert Bierstadt
Jerry N. Uelsmann: An awesome black and white artist of sureal-realistic.
Thomas Cole: Backgoround
The Wanderer Above a Sea of Mist Caspar David Friedrich
"But I had another Reason which made me less forward to enlarge his Majesty’s Dominions by my Discoveries. To say the truth, I had conceived a few Scruples with relation to the Distributive Justice of Princes upon those Occasions. For instance, a Crew of Pirates are driven by a Storm they know not whither; at length a Boy discovers Land from the Topmast; they go on Shore to Rob and Plunder; they see an harmless People, are entertained with Kindness, they give the Country a new Name, they take formal Possession of it for their King, they set up a rotten Plank or a Stone for a Memorial, they murder two or three Dozen of the Natives, bring away a couple more by Force for a Sample, return home, and get their Pardon. Here commence a new Dominion acquired with a Title by Divine Right. Ships are sent with the first opportunity, the Natives driven out or destroyed, their Princes tortured to discover their Gold; a free License given to all Acts of Inhumanity and Lust, the Earth reeking with the Blood of its Inhabitants: And this execrable Crew of Butchers employed in so pious an Expedition, is a modern Colony sent to convert and civilize an idolatrous and barbarous People.
Hey Cuz, what's up? It seems I've been neglectin y'all up there for some time now.Where do I start? I've been off work since Dec. 23, 08, I had my baby on Jan. 23, 09(she's beautiful, looks just like her Mama), takin care of my two little ones, seeing my other 4 every now and again. We got a 24'x4' doughboy, lookin forward to enjoyin the summer. We also got a 14' trampoline that's proving to be a lot of fun. That's pretty much it. I think the whole Gross clan should plan a trip down here to California and do it up big. Talk it over with the family, see if it's a possibility. If not, until next time, remember your favorite cousin loves you tell everyone else too, k?
