Perseus
Vǫrðr

(previously known as Thaddeus) was born in Ukraine on January 4th in the year 1999. He was adopted along with his non-biological sister by his adoptive mother in June of 2001 where he grew up on the East Coast for the majority of his life.

Perseus is a Baptist but also loves learning about science & how Science & Religion coincide. His favorite subjects in school was anything related to Math or Science. He also took an interest in music, he learned how to play the Trumpet & Keyboard, along with other instruments. He is also very talented in learning linguistics, he studied Spanish for two years in High School & in his free time he taught himself Japanese, American Sign Language, and a little French & Russian.
Since the age of 5, as a young boy, Perseus dreamed of moving across the country to California. And on July 1st, 2020 he did something that changed his life forever.

He booked a flight to California & rented an Airbnb. He finally moved away from the East Coast to start a new life, a new beginning, he was inspired by a quote that he uses every single day in his life now from his #1 favorite movie: We Bought A Zoo (staring Matt Damon, Scarlet Johansson, & Collin Ford)

The quote that inspired him to do what he did is:"Sometimes all you need is just 20 seconds of insane courage, just literally 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery & I promise you something great will come of it"
- Benjamin Mee (We Bought A Zoo 2011)He has seen places some people only dream of seeing or they see in movies & tv shows. The Golden Gate Bridge, The Painted Ladies, and the Legion of Honor Museum were among the few. He has done things only few have done, & fewer have lived to tell: he stood on the edge of a cliff called Dead Man's Point (which is a cliff edge near San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge known for people falling off to their deaths) & he has also done things some wish they could do, like visit 117 different beaches in his time there and even had the chance to go jump out of a perfectly good aircraft (aka sky diving).
He also has met some pretty amazing people along the way with very amazing (& some very bizarre) stories.

Perseus is an inspired actor with some of his role models being Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Ryan Reynolds, & many more famous actors & actresses who he hopes to meet & get to know very soon. Perseus currently saw one of his biggest dreams come true a dream since he was 5 years old, when after a month in San Francisco, he moved to Los Angeles California. After his big move to California, he recently said that he feels "totally free & utterly happy" and that he "does not & will never regret this decision" to move.
Perseus had once said he "lived his life in constant fear, fear of being judged, fear of not being accepted, but he recently learned that if he let fear take over his life he would not get much farther in life", so because of the 20 seconds of courage from above he has completely got rid of fear and living the best of his life, making his dreams come true & living his life & becoming more free!!!

All in All, one of Perseus's all-time favorite places has to be in Los Angeles California is Santa Monica & its beach.
Since moving to Los Angeles on August 1st, Perseus has been to Santa Monica & Santa Monica State Beach no less than 50 something times. He says "Being here in Santa Monica & at the beach is amazing, I mean cool weather, amazing people to see & meet, amazing beach, extraordinary nightlife every single night, nothing could ever beat it"He also says & recommends if you are ever in Santa Monica & want to get something for lunch or dinner (& have the money to spend) head to "Meats On Ocean" restaurant, & get the Filet Mignon (well-done) with Tarragon Butter Sauce its "absolute delicious"!!!

Perseus has sadly since now has moved back to Florida. But before his move back he had got to travel/live in Lake Havasu City Arizona, Las Vegas Nevada, Spokane Washington, & Portland Oregon, where he met many more amazing wonderful people, saw many more extraordinary places, & tried many more bizarre & crazy food dishes. From 2020-2022 Perseus has lived in 7 different states & visited over 19 different states (26 states in his lifetime). But no matter where he lands up Perseus will never forget his one true home, the place that made him feel more alive, more joyful & happy, more at peace w/ everything & himself: Los Angeles California.

Since moving back to Florida, Perseus has found a new passion: Line DancingFor those who do not know what Line Dancing is here is a brief definition:"Line dancing is a choreographed dance where a group of people perform a series of steps in unison while standing in rows or lines. The lines usually face the same direction, but can also face each other"Perseus has been granted the title of Professional Line Dancer, he has also since taught classes in Line Dancing and has become the only "Active" Certified Dance Instructor that specializes in Line Dance teachings across North Florida (and perhaps all of Florida).Perseus, since beginning his line dancing career, has gained a repertoire of roughly 275+ dances to almost 425+ songs ranging from Country to Pop to Rock, etc...
The list of dances also includes some entertaining Catalan-Style Line Dances
A Brief Definition of Catalan-Style Line Dances: "Catalan-style line dancing is a dance style that has spread throughout Europe and America through the efforts of professional and amateur line dancers. Involves more "exaggerated" kicks, spins, jumps, and stomps, along w/ other expressive moves"
