PingwenShow poetry

Hello. I am Robert. I am of Cherokee descent, but that doesn't matter because I don't look like it.

Bio: I am 18 years old and I live in a rural community of Alexandria, Louisiana. I work hard at school so I can one day leave this state and travel the world. I want to climb the Great Pyramids, walk the Great Wall of China, place my hands on Stonehenge, and visit Edgar Allan Poe's grave, among many other goals.

Personality: This is not easy to describe. The best word would perhaps be schizophrenic. Most of the time, I am very cheerful, trying to make people laugh and feel good. My years of middle school have left me very timid around groups of people; but this school year I have tried to be more extroverted. I'm never afraid to help a friend in need, unless I truly cannot do it in conjunction with my own plans. On the other hand, I seem to have severe emotional and personality disorders. I become depressed very easily, withdrawing so far from my normal attitude that I seem to be a different person, and it always takes me a long time to come out of it. I am paranoid of others, even my own friends at times. I keep suspecting them of abandoning me at any given moment. AP member BloodyObsession best describes me as "scary" or "demented." And I can't blame her; I laugh to myself too much, I collect knives, and I even plotted to kill one of my ex-girlfriends. The last 18 years have basically left me with a split-personality, and even though I can be relaxed one moment, I can be tense and glaring the next. Despite it, I'm trying to deal with myself the best way I can.

Education: Attending Louisiana Tech University to study Journalism. I am also a member of Sigma Pi Fraternity, International.

Religion: I was raised Baptist, converted to Catholicism, and became athiest over a year ago. I have many friends who are Christian, or Pagan, or Wicca, or what have you, so I am very accepting of other views. Whether I agree or not is a different story.

Music: I love most types of music, but here are some of my favorite bands: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Sick Puppies, the Beatles, Weird Al Yankovic, Metallica, CKY, Alkaline Trio, AFI, Guns N Roses, Blue October, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera, Shiny Toy Guns, Trivium, Smashing Pumpkins, They Might Be Giants, 3, My Chemical Romance, The Offspring, Avenged Sevenfold, System of a Down, Elton John, Lacuna Coil, Linkin Park, Pink, The Raconteurs, The Eagles, most of 60s and 70s pop/rock, Gnarls Barkley, and more than I can mention.

Bands I have seen:
2-13-09: Safetysuit, Hoobastank, Seether, 3 Doors Down
4-3-09: Lacuna Coil, Chimera, Killswitch Engage, Disturbed
7-29-09: Fall From Grace, ASG, Graveyard, CKY
8-3-09: Kaiser Chiefs, GREEN DAY!

Animals: I love penguins. My dream is to own a penguin, as well as an ostrich to ride, and a kangaroo to spar with.

    A split-personality is a split ego. Only by abandoning your ego will you find peace.

    Only by seeking your ego deep within yourself, and finding that it doesn't actually exist, may you comfortably abandon it.

    Only by realizing what the ego is - fears, doubts, and misconceptions - will you find that it doesn't actually exist.

    Only by proving to yourself your fearful assertions and doubts false will you realize they hold no bearing in reality.

    You have grand potential. Phenomenal potential.

    I hope I have helped. I have been cured of the same exact problem you say you deal with, and it wasn't that long ago. We have very similar stories.

    Oh wow.... I looked up that song, Vincent, on youtube because I'd never heard it before... I love it! Gorgeous lyrics and pretty music. Thanks for mentioning it so I could experience it.

    Reading your profile, I see that you are going into journalism. Fantastic! I think you will make an excellent journalist. You have not simply talent, but genius in writing.

    I also think that it's intruiging to see how self-aware you are.

    And I adore Edgar Allen Poe... I would love to visit his grave. I've been reading him a lot lately, so I think it's a little ironic to stumble upon your page now. I've been especially enjoying Fall of the House of Usher, The Premature Burial, and Berenice. Poe was, as you seem to be, a genius.
