A brief introduction. My name is Jeremy and my nickname is Milo. I am a twenty-year-old student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I'm an ethnic mutt and proud of it; being part Filipino, Austrian, and Russian, among other nationalities, is pretty cool and coincidentally plays into my major, International Business. I want to go to law school, specializing in International Business Law. NYU Law would be ideal. I want to help businesses expand globally. World peace will not be won through political summits or hippies, but through the creation of long lasting trans-culture business relationships.
I like to talk a lot, but I also like to listen. I like numbers, but I like to be artistic. I have strong opinions, but I value open mindedness.
... I guess you could say I can be kind of a contradiction.
I run, swim, hike, fix computers, read, hang out, think, meditate, jam out alone in my bathroom, nap, watch T.V., love, and write. These are the first things that came to mind right now, so I suppose these verbs are important.
I have the best family and friends, hands down. While I may seem self-centered at times, I consider myself a loyal friend to the end. I'd take a bullet for each one of them.
My religious beliefs are as such, straight from my Facebook profile:
Seriously, I don't care if you believe you came from an omnipotent cat, an extraterrestrial walrus or an extremely evolved monkey. I care about whether you're good to the people around you. -Me
Plain and simple. Be a good person, or your doing it wrong. My father was raised Jewish, my mom is Roman Catholic, my sister is Lutheran... and guess what? I love them all and respect their beliefs.
My political beliefs are as such, striaght from my Facebook profile:
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. -My dad
Fact of life.
Also, I used to make waffles every Sunday with my dad.
Thanks for reading!
I respect your religious and political views very much! Your post just cracked me up. Especially how you talked about you then ended with this random face about you and your dad making waffles every Sunday. I dig it.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed by your diverse background! But part of being an international is that you always seem to miss somewhere..
ReplyDeleteMany times people tend to sum themselves up by wrapping their personalities up into neat little boxes ("on a hillside," I digress). I really like that you are opened about the fact that you contradict yourself. We are complicated, ever-evolving people, and you put that out there.

ReplyDeleteThe mention of waffles in the title initially pulled me in and to be honest, when I first started reading I was thoroughly disappointed to find out that the article was not all about waffles as the title promised, but I found myself intrigued by the real contents. Well done sir.
