    I'm one those etiquette guys who are laid back. You know me very well if I'm nice to you. I tend to be selective when making friends. If you're ignored, please ignore back. Click More for more! Have fun reading about me. Do scroll all the way down to minimize by clicking Less ツ I've been an active user since I joined Shadowness. I've already seen many artistic work before signing up. I do not remember how I stumbled here, I just happen to discover an underground like website filled with amazing artists around the world. Since I'm international friendly, especially towards the Asian community, I enjoy diverse cultures. The job of my dreams would have to be photojournalism for Mix Martial Arts. It'd be awesome to do some work at the Ultimate Fighting Championship events such as weigh ins, interviews, and fights. It'd be an honor to work under U.F.C. Asia! Traveling would be fun too since I get to see more of the world. Rather than just taking pictures of professional fighters, I too would take pictures of this world that has such beauty for my own recreational purposes. "I don't only capture art and moments, I live the art and the moments. Always make history and divine memories." My Equipment: unfinished* ⋆ Targus TGT-BK58T tripod a.k.a Black Thunder ⋆ Canon EOS Rebel T3i 600D ⋆ Canon lens EF 50mm 1:1.8 ii ø 50mm ❀ 0.45m/1.5ft ⋆ Canon zoom lens EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 iii ø 58mm ❀ 1.5m/4.9ft ⋆ Canon zoom lens EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS ii ø 58mm ❀ 0.25/0.8ft Tiffen Steadicam Merlin Canon lens 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Hobbies/Specialties: Photography, Film, Food, Sleep, Literature, Study, Fishing, Podcast, Voice Acting, Texas Hold'em, Tango, Playing Soccer, and Mix Martial Arts. Favorite Foods/Drinks: Phở ♨ (#17 from Super Bowl Pho and #11 from Cafe Pho, both with extra tendon), rice, Korean BBQ, pork tocino, sushi, chicken, milk, avocado bubble tea with tapioca pearls (Call it green bubble tea and I'll assume you have intelligence of a spoiled five-year-old.), and Coka-Cola. Guilty Pleasures: I watch drama movies or TV series that interests me, and anime. I sing or listen to music whenever I'm alone; like when I take a shower or when I poop on the toilet. I like to review food, art, fights, and movies. I love podcasting and voice acting, especially in funny discussions! When I'm at my professional state, I'm at my serious behavior; so serious, I make men who are older than me feel like immature adults. If you can trust me like most of my college mates, you know how I roll. Turn On’s/Likes: Generosity, bright personality, open minded, humorous, and laid-back. Most importantly; optimism, enthusiasm, empathy, realism, and honesty! I like recreational arts, camerawork, literature, relaxing music, Asians, and the internet. Turn Off’s/Dislikes: Impudence, controversies, hypocrites, disrespecting people, uptight fits, dishonesty, pity, lack of decency, douche-baggery meatheads, bullies, swagtards and their sauce, base god, salty chocolate, religion, women with horrible personality, self-centered narcissism, insolent children, no wi-fi, men being too physically touchy towards women, and crazy white people. Interests: ⋆ Photography I enjoy taking pictures for recreational purposes. I could start marketing my work, but photography nowadays are rare to charge; unless you want to spend a lot of money from a professional company or agency. ⋆ Mix Martial Arts Sound like a bad ass? (ง'̀-'́)ง Wrong! Though it does sound macho, it's actually painful. From sparring to real fighting, training is well worth the experience. I started M.M.A. training when I was tired of getting bullied. After having my revenge, I stopped. I came back to discipline myself, and to blow off steam with a good session or two. I still practice so that I can protect myself and those I care for. Note of Professionalism: *Please excuse my foul language in Shadowness, I am presenting my interest, my humor, and my Shadowness persona. Understand that I do behave the same as I behave myself in the internet in some degree; internet behaviors can be misleading and may have a misunderstanding. My Quotes: "Pudding." "Ya' fuckin' non-literate." "Losing can also be a lesson." "Fuck berries and crap baskets." "Forget the waivers, he's fucked." "I'm a multi-literate douche-bag on Facebook." "Damn you Socrates and your divine philosophy!" "Only evidence in actions will bring my attention." "An ordinary person can never beat a trained fighter." "If it's better than nothing, might as well have fun with it." "People who hold education and literacy in high esteem." "If I ever see you in the same college parties that I'm in, you're fucked." "Though I am strongly nice, I too can be a cold, heavy hearted asshole." "In your face I will." (My answer when my colleagues ask if I'm coming.) "A real man doesn't call any woman a bitch, unless she's impudent and insane." "Do I seriously have to buy a pocket knife for my date just so that she can stab me if I do any harm?" "What's this cock-block you speak of? Is it a chicken shaped as a block? I'm just having a nice conversation." "Young? Who says I have to be older than 25? You're prettier than the young women I know." 4/12/2013 ღ "You can't prove love to someone with just words, it's the actions behind promises that reveal if you're being real or not". "Sometimes, people choose to leave not because of selfish reasons but because they just know instinctively that things will get worse if they stay." "Who are these hoes you speak of? Why are you defining these women hoes?" (My question after my friend follows the code, "bros before hoes".) "Honesty is a discipline to not lie. If you lied in the past, you can always adjust and change. If you're hated for lying, then do your best to start a new honest life." "In generosity, I am forever in your debt of kindness and respect. Your grace is enough. In animosity, you're screwed. It'll be sad if you underestimate my persistence." "My past is nothing if I'm no longer the same. I would hate to bring him back from the dead. If that ever happens, I'd kill myself to save everyone's time, grudge, and mentality." "For once, I find homework fun, challenging, and intense as playing video games. It's just like getting pwned by a camper, t-bagged, bunker rushed, pwning feeders, and lag." "You do know if I remember your name, it's because you're someone I wish to remember and not to forget. For those I do wish to forget, you've scarred me with your personality." "You're a buzz kill if you're trying to join my community when I don't know you well enough. My instincts detects bullshit when I see it. Just makes me more convinced to hate you more." "Sometimes, when I don't get what I want as I planned and expected altogether, especially to my liking, I get hyped up with rage. Times like that, I change directions, hoping their is nothing in my way." There will be a day I will no longer give a rat's about internet communication. I truly enjoy being up close, face to face communication with actual activity. Unless you're someone I want to hang out with or collaborate on an interesting project. "Teach and condition a nerd or a geek how to defend himself, he'll overcome and control his fears with calm retaliation. Having him become open to express dominance by a tick, have fun with that -- your words will be useless against his animosity. Just sayin'..." "Glad to know I'm not the rude fuck, going for physical touching. Have some decency and respect dammit! You're fucking up the gentleman's code and ruining the name of being a gentleman! Shit, you just fucking suck and just claim to be one so you can earn your ego boost, you pile of insolent shit!" "Good talk, I guess becoming good at something makes you eye catching... I can beat the shit out of the bad boys these women speak of! Let me end their hot dignity with a good ol' ass kicking cage fight. It'd be unfair yet satisfying. Sure they think they're the shit by fake talking and trying to look good, but wouldn't it be interesting to see a geek whoop these punks in a fight? It ain't revenge, it's a craving for victory under their names." "For those that can't pronounce my name because of the "difficulty", it's cool. But for those that sees me as the "Tee-James' twin" and cannot say my name, knowing that you know my name and knowing the damn difference between the two of us, fuck you non literates for giving me an aneurysm from your sheer stupidity. I wish to be put in a cage with these dumb asses where I can teach them how to say my name. And I swear to God, I will make them look like Helen Keller." "I was called a bully for being a "smart ass", a "dick", and a"douche bag". What the hell did I do to deserve that title?! I hate bullies! It's one of the reasons why I practice MMA: to protect myself, not to be fucked by bullies in a manly manner! I am not to be fucked with when someone who happens to be rude attempts to bully me. I do respond in control, but if a bully wants me to snap, I'll make sure both of his legs snap. I do appreciate the first two terms, but "douche bag"? C'mon!" "It's kinda funny comparing yourself from the times you wanted to give up from the most fucking ridiculous things to where you now stand. I have to admit, I was pretty pathetic back then. Journeyed through so much improvements, I look back at the traces and wondered what made me moved forward. It turns out, the people I care about makes me better. Who cares of what other people think, as long as you're with those you love, everything will be okay. With the dramatic changes, I still believe I have to improve myself." "Maybe if you display no interest, no attention, and no interaction with those people you're so pissed about or wanting to avoid, you wouldn't worry a damn thing. And if that's not enough, just fight like you're fighting for your life. Fight with all your might until all that rage and anger flies out of your system that you've been holding onto for being annoyed, scared, or too nice. Improving under the radar is better. Coming back as a skilled elite intimidates to those that talk complete bullshit about you. Apply that to your daily life. Maybe doing all that will prove them wrong. ~ Tee-Jake Ancheta After I die, I wish this song to be played in my funeral at the very end. "Your Grace is Enough" ft. Tom Park by Miko

    My name is Rick Corbett. I am a graphite and colored pencil portrait artist. I am a self-taught artist. I am also a member of the Woburn Guild of Artists. I am inspired not only by other artists but from life itself. I am inspired by people, textures, smells, sounds, all my senses seem to come alive when I draw. My drawings take me on an artistic journey of self discovery. I feel my soul awaken when I draw. GOD has given me a gift and it's a gift I hope to use to bring people closer together. It's a gift I hope to use to capture the beauty that's in this World. I don't want my drawings to simply be pictures drawn on pieces of paper - I want my drawings to be a celebration of life. My portraits are like my children. I created them and I'm proud of them. I hope to change the way people "see" each other. Everyone is special in their own special way. People trul inspire me. I love to learn about people, I love to learn backgrounds, traditions, and cultures. I think this is why I became a portrait artist, it just seemed natural to me. I believe that every person is beautiful and I hope to bring out that beauty in each portrait I draw. I hope to bring out the person's soul. I thank GOD everyday for the gift HE has given me. It's a gift that I hope to use to bring people closer together. It's one I hope to bring everyone's inner beauty out. It's one that I hope to make us all learn something about ourselves. It's a gift I hope that will bring a smile to someone's face or bring joy in someone's life.
