My Hidden Self

5 Things That People Don't Know:
-I am ridiculously obsessed with graffiti
-I like reading books, particularly fantasy
-I am usually outgoing
-playing guitar is one of my favourite things to do
-I like being outdoors, and meditation

My Friends Would Say:
-I am very exuberant and outgoing
-I am phenomenal at skateboarding
-I am creative, calm and relaxed
If there is one thing that I wish I could show more of to the world, it would be that I am actually quite intelligent and intellectual.

My Goals For The Future are:
-To be a history teacher
-Join the army
-Visit the moon and find an alien
-I would like to have a pilot's license one day
-Fly peace mission instead of bombings over Iraq

To most people, I am a rather quiet person that keeps to himself, but I am a very outgoing person with people I am good friends with and I love to fly aircraft.  My dream is to fly missions of peace instead of war. I am also quite the history buff and patriot.


In my opinion, this image represents me perfectly, because it includes all of the things which I love and hold close to my heart.  In my own picture, I am playing what looks like an A minor chord, but that isn't important.  The important thing is that I have my guitar that most people associate with me.  My shirt itself represents my personality, because being a Buddhist I like being close to nature and the elements.  The graffiti is representative of my love for art and the fact that I am a graffiti artist, The music notes are more symbols of my love for music, and the Canadian flag behind them shows my patriotism.  There are jets that show my dream of being able to soar like an eagle,  and the picture of a kid doing a varial heelflip down a stair set shows my ability to skateboard, and he is even doing my favourite trick.  The peace symbol on the moon, the ring of caligraphy and the meditating silhouette all represent my overall goal in life, to achieve peace and unity in myself and with the world.  The soldier on the beach shows my respect for those who died for our freedom, not to mention my obsession with history.  The background of a beach at night is very symbolic of my personality in that it is peaceful.  I am more often than not a very peaceful person, and peace is my life goal, through whatever means I achieve it. 

The most successful part of this self imaging is the silhoueete of the meditating man, mostly because it represents me so well.  I spend a good amount of time every day doing so, and the rest of my day is spent trying to find peace. 

In my eyes the least successful part is the skateboarder, solely because I am not a professional skateboarder, unlike the one in the picture.  I am better than some on a skateboard, but if were perfroming a less complex trick it would be more my style.

The only thing I would change if I did this again is I would choose a different background, perhaps a forest with a river running through it in the mountians of China.  That is my favourite kind of environment, and I enjoy being outdoors in a forest.  I want to live in a rainforest like that one day.  That is the only thing I would change.
