Who I am

I am a concerned individual. I am concerned about the state that America is in, and the oppressed within it. I am also a martial artist, and I teach martial arts at my school. I like to think of myself as a contemporary civil rights activist. Although at the moment my "activism" is second to my education, girlfriend, and other matters. I love rap music, it is the tool of the unpriviliged and oppressed. It is a beautiful thing. I enjoy weight lifting, reading, and watching movies (my dvd collection has grown quite large as of recent).

Thoughts on wikipedia

It is a great tool. I use it quite often and contribute when I get a chance.
