My name is Larry (Lawrence F. Gonzales), I live in New Mexico which is widely known for its lack in everything from education to drunk driving control. I've lived in NM all my 16 years of life. Though I was born in Santa Fe and lived there for most of my life, I've lived in Clayton and am currently living in Penasco as of recently.
I've only started writing "poetry" since the beginning of this school year, though I don't know how many people would call my writing the work of a poet.
I've noticed I get addicted to some things quickly, become good at most of them, making them my hobby, drop them for a month or so, then take it up again.
I've been through a lot personally, so there's few things I cannot relate to ( Random things that make one think, the hard thing called life, drugs and alcohol, sex and relationships, suicide and family, feelings and thoughts, pain and fuzzy warm feelings, you name it!)  and I'm usually up for talk (advice, jokes, whatever). I may only be sixteen but I'm no dummy. My ex always asked me "If you didn't know how old you were, how old would you be?"
So my second latest addiction is poetry, I needed something to let out all the pain from the person dearest to me leaving me besides breaking my hands the ground and walls, running, and excessively loud music. Because of this, most of my writing is about her and the pain I'm left with, for the present anyway. My most present addiction is reading (I've read like 4 books in my life 3 of which in the past week, Playing Without The Ball, I don't remember who by at the moment, Daniel X and Maximum Ride [the 1st out of three] both by James Patterson, I recommend both by Patterson).
I use fancy words that I've never used before when I write (mainly in poetry), I don't know if it's noticeable or not, but that's usually not how I talk.
I'm incredibly open and open minded, I give my honesty, I limit myself to judging people without knowing them 1st, I forgive way too easy and if I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it- if it's humanly possible and I believe anything is possible, if you play your cards right and use your head that is, and I misspell many of my words (I didn't put many of my weak suits in there, I'm trying to be more self-aware).
I've played football for two years as a wide receiver and safety and rugby for one year as a forward, playing hooker, prop, and mainly lock. I have no idea why, considering a weigh 130lbs (all muscle I might add).

I usually don't talk much although it might not seem like it, but my dad always used to say- when I spoke the ground shook.
Im jus a guy livin life trina stay outta trouble and outta hell. I'm a bit of a poet but I've been called more of a philosopher lately. I write mostly quotes now. One is There is no greater sin than knowingly being ignorant when you have the potential to be more and not using it when you know you should when you know you'd be happiest if only you would. I'm pretty open minded. I'm for gay marriage and for abortion, I wouldn't have one I'm just pro choice (just know you live with the consequences). I'm not sure on capital punishment. I think if your guilty of it, an eye for an eye and if your not then it's your unlucky day. Death comes with life and although I'm not afraid of dying sometimes the grass isn't so green on the flip side (especially when we think it just might be). I'm young and know little about anything, I'm not modest nor humble just truthful and call things as I see them. There's a difference between intelligence and wisdom. Life is just. Vast majority of religions are based on doing what's right. There is not one single shred of evidence anywhere that says life is or should be serious. If you didn't know how old you were how old would you be? There is no reality only perception (perceive that as you will). Don't piss into the wind. Be quick to listen and slow to speak. The only immovable object holding back the unstoppable force is itself. Inspiration is not possible without the right presentation. Every good thing starts with a thought as does every bad. Be where your wanted. Money cannot buy happiness, it can however rent it. If you do what can't be done and didn't know you couldn't then what can't be done? Who said ignorance isn't power? In the end everything we do is just what we've done. In the end everything will be ok, if it is not ok it is not the end. The only thing keeping you from outdoing yourself is you. Money doesn't run the world Faith in money does(don't get it? think bout it.). Love is a cliche the thing itself isn't. What is love? Sure is hell isn't a feeling, I switch feelings faster than chicks change cloths but love is truly forever. Life is simple: you make choices and don't look back(that's taking into consideration you'll have no reason to because you did what you believe in. Because those who fail to remember the past are condemned to repeat it [yes thats why we take history and Yes thats why it's important]). These are things that have stuck with me and things I've learned. It's 11:44 pm on Saturday May 2, 2009. I'm goin to bed. I'll finish this later... unless I forget.
