I have since learned upon entering into the "Working World" that the more I try to keep up with the world, the easier it is for me to lose myself simply because the World doesn't have the same views as it used to.
Heck, [which has been brought to my attention as a Curse Word and I'm sorry if it bothers you but I didn't grow up using it as anything but an exclamatory remark], I can't even tell people my favorite color, my favorite genre, one of my favorite hobbies without being casted into a stereotype to which I do not belong.
So now I'm stuck in some far off middle area. I'm so far behind in the world that every chance I make to catch up puts me in a position where I don't want to be. I'm too far ahead that when I try to go back to the simple things that please me I can't fully get there, by this I mean with my Art and Schooling. I've found myself in the worst predicament where I'm asking myself "Why am I here doing this?"
So in an attempt to realign myself to who I AM and not what people seem to expect of me I will do a little introductory. Sorta like a party since I've finally moved this blog over to this account ^^
I hope that little tidbit is interesting enough that you'd like to talk, I'm quite a great and deep guy from what my peers say. You can only find out how I think of myself by talking to me anyway.
Anywho, for those of you have taken the time to read this, I give you my humblest thanks. My writing is a bit rusty but I'm hoping that I'll have more time for this.
Thanks,

Hi, my name is Jimmy, but my self proclaimed nickname and pen-name is "Simba Po. Maliki."
Yes that's right, it's based on the character Simba from the Greatest Movie ever, The Lion King. Before you ask, that is not Simba's last name from the movie, he was not given a last name, same for all the characters. He in the sense is who I have aligned myself to be but I am not him, we may share the same first name and a few personality traits but that is all coincidental, except for the name.
Now you may think this is a little bit silly, "Why in the world is an adult relating himself to a child's movie? That must say a lot about his character and maturity." Wrong. I believe in this for the same reason any person believes in a religion. No I am not saying that I'm making some sort of new religion, far from it, I am an Animistic Christian. When I had my "public schooling" crisis, which everyone eventually hits that little identity crisis, I found no solace in going to the Christian world. Instead I found myself drawn to the library and the books, but the thing that helped my most through that time was the Disney Classic, The Lion King. It was then at that point that I told myself that, like little Simba, I am running away into the desert and that one day I will come back. Make fun of me what you will, I stand firm in my beliefs. You will not see me mocking you for your beliefs in your religion, for what are beliefs than just lessons from stories and that is precisely what religion is about. And coincidentally a movie has story too!
I'm quite a good-neutralist and, according to my peers, altruistic. A quality I am very proud of which attributes to my admiration for the iconic Knight, the real ones were pretty good but had their faults. My friends tell me that I'm a great person to talk to for rants and problems. I am always open for a little one on one talking, just contact me by going to the contact page or asking something on this account.
Anyway enough of that big deep stuff, time for lists because everyone would rather look at the cursory details instead of the big stuff. ;)
Everything else you'd want to know about me is only a conversation away. Or you could visit my formspring, http://www.formspring.me/SimbaMaliki It's not like those kiddy little trend things that you see on most formspring accounts. Ask a question and I try to answer it to the best of my abilities.
