- Biography
I'm a naive hopeless romantic searching the depths of my mind for that next scrap of nonsense and waiting for the girl of my dreams, who will connect me to God through the love of Jesus. I'm a writer, thinker, musician and lover. I'm open minded and very tolerant but I hold on to my believes as the only truth, regardless of perception. I'm a man of contradictions: I'll suround myself with many people and wish to be alone. I love to laugh yet get annoyed when others sell their souls for a laugh. I tune things out and lose myself in the realms of music. I'm a constant wonderer who only feels like he's going somewhere when he's driving his car, yet I have this longing to give my heart fully and settle down and take responsibility. I'm a facilitator who can be a leader but choses to help others outside the spotlight...I don't take critisism or praise very well (although I try and learn what I can from critisism). I think I know everything, yet know I don't.
- Favorite music
- Music, sleep and writing are all different looking-glasses for which I gladly put on to step through. As for music I love a wide variety from bluegrass to blues, all forms of Jazz to 20th/21st cent. classical, Romantasism to classic rock, Gregorian chant to Weird Al (the old stuff). I truely lose myself in instrumental pieces, but love the innovation in song writing. I'd like to be a songwriter. Musicians that have influenced me: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, John Lennon, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Funk always gets me feelin' good...oh yeah!
