My life in a nutshell, well, all I can say is that I love 2 things: video games and guns.

Eh, My life was abnormal since the minute I was born, literally speaking.
I was born on Highway 95 on the way to the hospital....Dad never was good at using the brakes.
Spent the first 6 years of my life traveling around the eastern hemisphere,.
When I was 4, I made friends with an awesome Homeless guy who "traveled" around the outside of a Air Force Base in Germany. He left when it closed down after I left.....I wished he could afford a phone. He gave me a lot of wisdom and information I use to this day. "Treat your life as if someone's watching you". Lord knows how many times that lesson saved my tail.
As wierd as it was though, where I grew up, I was never able to fully use those lessons because ignorance was bliss. People never worried about the day after today, just what happened that second. Not to be arrogant, but I still think I'll never see most of them on the positive side of society, I usually never do when it comes to older Teens who act the same way.
I had to learn another lesson which I still learn to this day....a lesson entitled "Self-Restraint". While I've met people who have been a major help to me maturing as a person. There were many to outnumber those people, and frankly, I wanted to throttle them all. Not to use them as a scapegoat, but I regret not having a more mature mind back then. If I knew HALF the stuff I know now back when I was 10. I would have taken more measures to restrain myself, as to not procede to release my frustrations on the source of them. Due to that mistake, I've declined several steps on the ladder of Friendship with a very close friend of mine.
I admired her strongly due to her untainted personality and competence to know there was a day after tomorrow. We got along well, sharing times of the past, and plans for the future. I guess you could say it was one of those budding relationships. Though the two of us got along really well, people continued to try and sever us. They teased us, made rumors and put dramas involving us that endured the haggled school-year. While she continued to allow the water flow off her duck's back, the stress of it all slowly consumed me like a Darkchip.
Being only 10 I could never understand why people acted that way, and why they took their problems out of me, much less my tender and naive friend. So....I decided to forget the lessons the homeless man and the eastern world had taught me, and I enveloped myself in pure hatred of those who mocked her. I studied hard enough to be at the top of the class, and put down those who tried to raise themselves by their accomplishments and downfall of others. I became cold, not caring about other's feelings, isolating myself from people all around. I felt slight satisfaction in my work, it was small, but enough to brush off the words of concern from my dear, tender, naive friend. In following time I soon found an adversary who thought I was just being fake of my character, that I was just trying to be one of the other kids. While it was the last thing I wanted, it was only slrighty true, and I was angered by the concept and started fighting with that kid.
While the bruises went away only days after the school suspension. I found myself in the wake of my own path. I lost the feelings of my friend and I had no one to else to talk with.
While it was almost 6 years ago, I remember that time like it was yesterday. I continue to live life with a silent mouth and unclenched fists, never forgetting the recurring memory scarred in my mind, as well as the lessons from the homeless man and the eastern world.
*scrolls up* ....... I think this is more like a memoir than a bio.....
