Success in the Making

Well, for those who can't read the "About Me" column that's strategically placed to the right of my blog, I'm Julius C. Butler (friends call me Ju-Ju for short). Like most guys, I enjoy videogames, horror flicks and street hockey. Most people are surprised about the last hobby of mine. People assume that LGBT men cannot play sports, but on the contrary, I never found a sport more freeing and motivating more than hockey and roller derby. I've been playing street hockey as soon as I learned how to ride skates without falling. I like to think I'm pretty normal. I laugh, I get upset and sometimes it feels like I have the whole world on my back. My favorite scary movies are vintage horror classics like night of the living dead and Nightmare on elm street, so anything from the 60's to the 80's are personal favorites of mine.I like to listen to any variety of music, but I must say hip hop today is just irritating! I plan on eventually becoming an actor in the future, as well as a proud father and husband. I want my child (most preferably a son) to know how much blood, perspiration and tears I've invested into a better future for myself and my family. when I get up in the morning, one thing that motivates me is baggage from my past, constantly being told that I was a bad person that would never accomplish any aspiration in my life. I'm on a constant personal mission to debunk those negative thoughts. Another motivation of mine is the fear of becoming another statistic, another homeless young man of color on the streets. I have accomplished so much in such little time and it makes me both proud and self-motivated. I know that this is only the beginning for me on this long hard journey we all call life, but i'm not looking for an easy way out, i just need a possible obstacle to master.
