[i]My name is Zacari Jo'Vaughn Augustine, pronounced Zuh-Car-ee. I’m not sure what language the name derives from, but I do think that it’s pretty unique. My mother named me after her grandfather. She’s the only person who calls me by my full name; everyone else either calls me Joey, which comes from my middle name, or [i]Zac[/i].[/i][/indent][/color]

[i]I was born in November, so I actually just turned twenty-seven not too long ago. Some people tell me that I look a lot younger than what I actually am, but all I have to say to that is “black doesn’t crack.” Hopefully, I’ll still look thirty even when I’m in my late sixties.[/i][/indent][/color]

[i]I was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. I grew up around the Jackson Ward and Church Hill neighborhoods, so I’m a city boy at heart. I would say that my neighborhood was extremely dangerous and violent growing up; we’ve always had a problem with gangs, drugs, and gun violence. Although conditions around here have improved over the years, it’s mostly due to gentrification.[/i][/indent][/color]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/RpRf6jh.png[/img] [color=#625C46][indent][i]I have no idea where to begin, honestly. I could tell you how I view myself, but that wouldn't answer how my friends and everyone around me perceives me. In my opinion, I'm just an average dude from the city with an affinity for writing and a whole lot of shit to write about. I am a simple, independent, ambitious and reliable person. I'm always true to myself, I sort of know what I want from life, and I try to live each day positively and accept things with a positive attitude. I don't like to dwell on the past, but focus on what the future has to offer instead. I guess that's why I've never made many close friends or long-lasting girlfriends. I'm always thinking ahead, always moving. Constantly.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/PuPzJ7T.png[/img] [color=#625C46][indent][i]Although I tend to focus most of my time on my work, I do have a few things that I do in my free time. I’m always working out when I have the chance, so I’ll usually spend a few days of the week working out in the gym. I’m also a coach for a recreational football team in my city; we’ve won the championships three years in a row, and we’re shooting for a fourth this year. I’m very committed and dedicated to those kids; the league in itself was designed to keep at-risk kids off the streets and focused on their goals, something that I wish I had when I was around their ages. When I’m not in the gym or on the football field, I’m in my room or office writing. From poetry to short stories, it feels good to be able to put all of my thoughts down on paper in a creative way.[/i][/indent][/color]

[i]I’ve been in multiple relationships since high school, but none of them lasted long enough for me to really care that they ended. I think my longest relationship lasted for a year before I broke it off. In the past, I’ve spent a lot of my time focusing on my career and not enough time developing relationships. It's definitely something that I want to change, but it will be a process. At the end of the day, I just want a girl who I can vibe with and be myself around.[/i][/indent][/color] 
[img]https://i.imgur.com/OEjOJm4.png[/img] [color=#625C46][indent][i]Well, the ultimate goal for me has always been to become a well renowned novelist. I've been writing since I was in middle school. I wasn't the most outspoken kid growing up. Writing, for me, was a way for me to speak my mind. It eventually turned into more than just a way to clear my head; I began participating in poetry slams and book clubs during my high school years. Writing helped me break out of my shell. It's definitely something that I can picture myself doing professionally for the rest of my life. For now, however, I am working as a sports journalist.[/i][/indent][/color]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/aElNuF8.png[/img] [color=#625C46][indent][i]There are a lot of reasons why I decided to go through with this thing. I’m mostly in it for the money, just like everyone else probably is. I’m up to my neck in debt thanks to student loans, so it’d be nice to be able to pay some of that off. I’m thinking about moving into a better apartment, as well, so that will help with that as well. I also think it would be good for me to take a little vacation and explore the world, get away from work for a little while. A small piece of me, however, is also in it for the romance.[/i][/indent][/color]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/vu0LOv4.png[/img] [color=#625C46][indent][i]I have a Pit Bull, but she's staying with my little sister while I'm away. I love poetry, and some of my idols include Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, and Margaret Walker. I also love music, rap especially; pure rhythm and poetry. I'm allergic to raspberries, but the reaction isn't severe. I can drink my weight in beer.[/i][/indent][/color][/indent]
