Excerpted from My Profile

I'm currently in college once again. I originally have a Associates Degree in IT/Web Development out of ECPI College of Technology. (Don't ask me what ECPI stands for, I STILL DON'T KNOW.) However, I discovered that I do not like programming all that much and discovered that I liked more of the ... business and financial aspects. I'm now going towards the direction of attaining dual degrees in business administration and accounting. I do plan to end up getting certified as a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and/or obtain a MBA as well.

I feel that I am destined to do something to change the world. Some of the thoughts I have are secret and disturbing, but it's nothing bad. I would like to try to make things better for my kind and uplift them.

Right now, I currently work at a tech support center. Taking calls. Blah

I love to crossdress and try to crossplay whenever possible. I guess it's because I did it as a little kid and liked it. I'm not gay, however, I like my girls very much, perhaps a little too much. Very Happy I have an affinity to obtaining and creating gothic lolita outfits for my own personal purposes. I'm known for the guy that runs around in a schoolgirl uniform (though it has been falling apart; it's currently in repair). I am planning to probably be one of the few Mana-type cosplayers who IS A GUY. *gasp, surprise*

I go to MANY anime conventions, be it the following: Katsucon, Anime Mid Atlantic, Otakon, Nekocon, ODUAcon (when are you guys gunna do another one?!), Animazement, Anime USA ... and so forth, around the mid-atlantic region. Yes I am a cosplay freak, and all. Yes I crossplay. Okay? You can find me around dressed in a dress with cat ears and a tail. SO BLAH. OKAY?! YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT???!!111 okay I'm calm now. ^_^;

I am spreading the word of Kyosei ( 共生 ), which is basically the principle of having "all people, regardless of race, religion, or culture ... working together for the common good." Though alot based on Confucian writings, I believe the principles in full can apply to anyone of any religion (or lack thereof for the atheists/agnostics/humanists/etc.) and should be something that people should adopt.

Though it is a business model and concept, it should be deeper than that, applying the principles of Kyosei and having the San-ji (三自) spirit as follows:

Ji-hatsu: Self-motivation Take the initiative and be proactive in everything you do.

Ji-chi: Self-Management Conduct yourself responsibly and be accountable for all of your actions

Ji-kaku: Self-Awareness Understand the situation you find yourself in and your role in that situation

The committment I have with the sanji spirit? We must always conduct ourselves in a fair, honest, and ethical manner.

I hope that Gaians could at least give it a shot; not necessarily a religious outlook (I'm Christian; Seventh-Day Adventist to be exact), but just as a way when interacting with other Gaians and other online forums and groups, as well as everday life.
